I think you are fooling yourself if you think that you actually think liberty is more important to you than state power.
more than you, yes.. case in point
I The TSP program? I supported it when Bush was in office and I support it now that Obama's in office. The Pat Act? Just like when Bush was in office, I supported somethings in it and disagreed with others.
how can you even pretend to be for liberty and be for those kinds of gov't infringement? The fact is you can't. Which is why you are not a real libertarian, you've just gloomed onto the word to hide the (R) streak in you.. the same way you gave 'Huntsmen' for you presidential candidate answer.. When in practice, you vote for someone like Rick Scott. You can't be both, but you want to seem less partsian, when we both know you're not.. not in any way shape or form. But what about me? Am I partisan? Not as much as you think I am and more than I think I am.. huh, look at that, I can admit that along with being ok with being hypocritical on some (not most, but nice try) issues..
I'll answer your 'why don't you can when Obama does it' question again.. These things are the law of the land now,that horse has left the stable.. it would like re-arguing the Peterson trial.. The outcome is the same, the law was passed.. and in practice.. what good does re-hashing it do? Am I going to change the Peterson conviction? nope? and I ain't going to change the Pat Act or TSP program either.
You'll never get it since you are OK with giving up these liberties.. the fight is before it's given because once it's handed over, there ain't no going back...
what you are looking for now, the ONLY thing you are looking for, is to nit-pick, nothing more-nothing less..
you are simply the person Starla overheard after Obama's election when they said "lets see how you like it".. I'm not playing that game, if you've got something new? fine, let's talk.. but my arguments on those topics remain the same...
