Lordy,lordy after 53 years of being called names,many of which are unprintable,I've been called a liberal.FIRST TIME EVER!Tom ,it's rebuttal time.
First,I'll stand by my opinion that the LIB Party does NOT win elections b/c of the reasons cited in my last post(election laws,govt buyoffs,media & education) but,even if you disagree consider this.IMO,a person &/or party will govern by how they LOOK upon government. A liberal DIM sees government as a goddess.There is no problem too big or small that govt. can't or shouldn't solve.ANY govt fault or failure is due to the PEOPLE not the govt.A good GOP member sees govt. as an office secretary,someone that keeps things running smooth but is always a small cog in the big machine.This actually works fairly well UNTIL the office boss gets lazy &/or stupid.The office sec starts getting more jobs,taking on more authority & suddenly she is the boss.A lib KNOWS that govt is a paid whore.She has always been around & always will be.She performs services that nobody or nothing else can or will.BUT,she must constantly be watched & held in check b/c the more she gets the more she wants.FQ,you forgot this & ,as you yourself admit,you made a BAD decision.
Now,why I do NOT answer for all libs,I will answer for myself.All UNNEEDED govt is bad.That means,IMO, that whatever sex games 2 or more consenting,adults play is between them & GOD.That also means that the govt has NO business in re-defining marriage.That means no govt interaction between a doctor & their patient.Again that is between them & GOD.That also means no govt funded clinics or PSM promoting or sponsoring abortions.When you (or anyone) gets the WRATH about legalized drugs (and also pencil in prostitution & gambling here) do this.Take a deep breath & remember history.Prohibition did NOT work unless you were a crooked pol or organized criminal.Still doesn't. Tax it,control it & get over it.
Remember,the GOP was NOT a player until a weakened DEM,a BIG idea & a Civil War came along. Like I said,things happen & things change.Good ideas & solid principles may not always be in fashion but they do have STAYING POWER.
