Quote:Looks like I also believe strongly in equality. 

 

Its funny how throughout this thread, because I stated certain opinions on this subject that people did not like, certain people had to misrepresent other key opinions I also hold on the subject. I've been firm with the above, but still, more than once did someone accuse me directly/ or indirectly of not being for homosexual's equality. 

 

I guess its much easier to bash on someone if you twist their opinion and make it appear worse than it actually is. 

 

Liberals have never been known for their ethics in debate  anything. 

 

And conservatives have never been known to let reality get in the way of their view of the world.

 

Seriously, you only serve to undermine your arguments when you try to ascribe labels to people.

 

Freedom from religious tyranny is one of the cornerstones of true liberalism, which is the root of libertarianism and democratic liberalism. The two parties disagree about how to achieve it (liberals believe that authority is necessary to maintain freedom while libertarians believe authority automatically precludes freedom) but really both ideologically consistent parties agree on what they're really after.

 

It's when you start getting into the bizarre self contradicting behavior of modern day right-wingers (like freedom from government tyranny for everyone except women, who need to be forced to have invasive ultrasounds before they can seek medical help) that politics starts to devolve into what we typically see.
