Answer 1

Yep, and for the same reasons. It's the One True Way™ mentality.

Answer 2

It's jsut more inflammatory to call someone "a godless liberal" than to say "they believe in a progressive tax system and oppose government wiretapping without a warrant."

Most of the hate in the political rooms is generated by Bible Nazis. BIBLE NAZI - A fundamentalist christian who thinks it is a violation of their rights if they are denied the opportunity to use the coercive power of the state to shove their god down my throat

Answer 7

Republicans believe that the level of light they have reached must be forced upon others. So, to stop people from taking drugs, thereby harming themselves, they must be outlawed. To stop adults from taking advantage of children, having data on your computer representative of a child and an adult having sex (although you, yourself, were guilty of no crime), is made a felony. To "protect" young adults (who, it has been shown, have a fully developed mind, and certainly have the will to act on their own), they create the "age of consent," where a 15 year old having sex with an 18 year old becomes a felony for the 18 year old. They even go so far as to call it rape. And God forbid someone under 21 might drink beer! The horror! If they do, we should rob them of their money (keeping in mind many of them don't have jobs) and put them in jail!

Democrats, on the other hand, are convinced that mankind's nature is basically good, and, left to themselves, we will become self-enlightened. All we need is a positive environment to exist in. According to the Left, the only real internal job of government is to make sure that everyone has a decent life. So liberals legalize infanticide - as long as it is before a certain age. They outlaw weapons. (After all, why would one enlightened being want to harm another?) They provide welfare for the masses. (Of course, EVERYONE is entitled to a reasonable quality of life, right?)

Unfortunately, both worldviews place themselves as God, and their opponents as Satan. There is little more pernicious than an unenlightened government claiming enlightenment. Through their attempts to enforce their own morality on others, they place themselves in place of God, forever ruining millions of people's lives.

The Right imprisons teens who simply drink what others of our race have drunk for thousands of years, and, before alcohol legislation, caused far less trouble than it does today. Of course, what those teens learn from the experience is to hate their government, and society in general. Not to mention, in jail they get to meet plenty of REAL criminals. They imprison "rapists" guilty of nothing more than having sex with their girlfriend/boyfriend, fully consensually, claiming that the younger person is not able to make decisions for themselves. Here I have to interject, ask the 15 year olds who have died in so many wars if they could make their own decisions. Ask, for example, those who died in the Hungarian Revolution. They were certainly capable of bravery and honor, and proved that they could handle weapons as well as any adult (in fact, the way they stopped entire tank units using only homemade bombs, broom handles, grenades, and ancient rifles speaks volumes). Nonetheless, they are viewed as incompetent, and their boyfriend or girlfriend as a criminal. Those who are curious about somewhat perverted topics, and come across certain images on the Internet, are subject to the same criminalizing. Even guilty of no crime themselves, the very posession of certain 0s and 1s causes them to be imprisoned - with the ones who can teach them the true meaning of perversion, before they are loosed again on the streets. And, of course, the age-old practice of children drinking with their friends and families is equally persecuted. While in countries where there is no legal age limit on alcohol consumption, there is a much lower incidence of alcoholism, our country, with extremely strict controls, has rampant alcohol-related crime. This alone should be reason to discard these laws, but Right-wing lawmakers want to further penalize the simple act of drinking an innocuous beverage.

The Left, on the other hand, permit one of the foulest crimes ever committed on our planet to go by unpunished. Abortion: the act of murdering an unborn infant. Here there is no concept of personal responsibility, but, unlike everything else in life, if you don't like what you did, just take it back! Unfortunately, we cannot undo the past. All we can do is to go on into the future, making the best choices we can. Killing our children is not an acceptable choice. While the idea of no one having weapons is nice, the truth is that the "bad guys" always get the weapons either way. If someone really wants to commit a crime, getting weapons will never be difficult. And there is the ever-gnawing fact that, in order to enforce gun control, we have to have a large, well-armed law enforcement. By their vast welfare programs, they tax those who actually work for their money, and redistribute it to those who are often simply lazy. This reduces productivity and encourages "working the system."

And the answer? Few consider the principles on which our country was founded. The idea, foreign to all our policies today, is that of INALIENABLE RIGHTS. This means that I do not have to ask anyone's permission to drink alcohol. I do not have to ask anyone's permission to have sex. I do not have to ask anyone's permission to own a weapon capable of defending myself or others. These rights are inherent to the state of humanity. They are no less than fundamental pillars of what it is to be human. Oh, and the most important inalienable right, according to our forefathers? That when these rights are infringed upon, if diplomacy fails, we have the right to use lethal force against those who would take them away.
