Every few generations there'll be a new clique making the same conservative demands of everyone. Not that the libertarian alternative is much better: "Choose your own lifestyle, but don't come crying to us if it doesn't work out for you!"Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-69139431597766622172012-05-22T15:13:27.108-04:002012-05-22T15:13:27.108-04:00And as I keep saying, this is what will be the cau...And as I keep saying, this is what will be the cause of the extinction of conservatism. Their insistence that to be acceptable to them, for them to accept you as an equal, you have to dress like them, speak like them, believe like them, worship like them, love like them . . . in other words, you have to be willing to be a complete conformist to all they desire. That is NOT freedom. That is NOT liberty. If you are NOT free to choose your own lifestyle, you are not free.<br /><br />The fact that they are too stupid to see the basic inconsistencies in what they preach only proves my point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
