Ever wonder why the Irish lady might be prepared to argue the toss on a predominantly American board? I don't need to be propped up. I believe in conservatism. I see disasters in the American political landscape. Point it out. And SUDDENLY I'm a stupid witch getting slurs cast at me. *LOL* I hold my own opinions. And I hold them. I won't be swayed by libertarian asses.
Temper got the best of you?
Looks to me like you just can't stand it that there are some people out there who value liberty more than perceived "security" or "order".
That may be the way things are done in Europe, what with your history of kings & royality, fascism & communism, supra police states and a disarmed citizenry, but in the US there is a different philosophy.
That is, after all, why we had a revolution and won independence ------ to secure liberty with all its inalienable rights and to escape the oppressive European concepts of government which trample the rights of the individual for the collective or the ruling class.
Actually, I agree absolutely with everything you said. I was just being onery with the Irish lady. My bad.To: kako
The views I hold are the views that shaped my nation. Those same views were held by Englishmen even before my nation's time. The Celts held the same views, which means that your heritage and mine share the same values.
Calm down. Remember what you're fighting for.
