"Am still trying to figure out how they consider themselves conservatives, tho."
?!? And just what the hell is a conservative, Max? Another one of the sheeple?
This article by De Coster reminds me of this one, The Gullibility of the Governed.
Until we can get enough strength to put up a serious fight against the government sponsored hate campaign against smokers, then we are going to continue to see examples such as Australian strangles Wife Over Smoking Habit and New Smyrna Beach Teen Beaten to Death increase as the tyranny of the "hordes of petty, self-elected Führers" grows and they respond to the incessant propaganda we're bombarded with daily with more forceful intolerance and hate.

"...justify officious "do-gooders" trying to tell other people what they should drive, eat or smoke--I mean so long as it is not their neighbors pet."
I dunno. I'm of the mindset that dogs are meant to be eaten, not heard. They are considered a delicacy in some places, ya know, but I've never had one smoked though. ;) //end wisecrack

?!? And just what the hell is a conservative, Max? Another one of the sheeple?Lock, I'm not sure I know. Never considered myself a "conservative," as a matter of fact, more what Dennis Prager describes as a "classical liberal." Then I met some really great folks here who believe as I do in those "classic" principles, and they call themselves "conservatives," so...
I do know this: If being a conservative means, as Cultural Whatshisface said above, it's your right and duty to run other folks' lives, well...they can mark my name off the list.

Your remark was the single most stupid thing I've ever seen posted on Free Republic.
What are you, unclear on the concept or what?
To: Max McGarrity
An excellent article, Max. A real keeper.

You've got a real messianic complex, don't you?

CJ has to disgaree with anything that comes from LewRockwell.com, no matter what its about. This is the most hilarious response of his yet. I honestly would never expected him to make such comments about an article like this. He is truly insane.
This little gem shows the depths of his dementia:
Honestly, the SUV angle in the story was just the ... vehicle ... to proselytize anarcho-moral-liberalism. SUVs are fine by me.

"Concerning the question of imposing values: Should the majority impose its values on the minority? Yes. When the values of the minority conflict real strongly with the values of the majority, the majority will always prevail."Whites vs. blacks, Germans vs. Jews, Communists vs. land owners. Please expound.
Bwahhahahahahahahah

"Americans, on the whole, are ripe for lording it over everyone else, and they have no problem making arbitrary judgments about the needs of others while proclaiming that which is necessary or not, based on their own foregone conclusions."
As an American, I am highly offended by this statement. I want to eat the game hubby shoots. We pay our taxes. We don't break the law. We don't want to be bothered otherwise, unless some raghead destroys several thousand of my countymen. Then I get a tad ticked. I don't hate them, but they do need to die. Civl law, as it stands, we can deal with. And well.
Like an infestation of cockroaches, the Wahhabists need to be exterminated. This is how I feel. Sorry if you feel otherwise,
