I vote republican because of abortion
but
at the same time
I am voting against
unions
same sex marriage
big government
excessive taxation
obamacare
I get them all in one package
The problem is that most Republicans aren't really that pro-life.
I don't subscribe to "lesser of two evils" voting, but even if you do, you should be honest about the fact that the GOP gets a lot of issues wrong.
How are anti-same sex marriage laws consistent with small government?
u sound far more liberal than conservative. For one, you do this one thing liberals always do: paint with a broad brush, eg: comments about "coercing, stealing from..." and give NO examples of what the freaking devil u r talking about..
so I am outa here:mario:
Every government program, without exception, is funded by compulsory taxation. Because people who are taxed do not consent to having their money taken by force, all taxes are theft and should be abolished.
Every government law is an act of force, and the vast majority of them have nothing to do with protecting people or their property. Anti-drug laws, gun control laws, laws against prostitution, zoning laws, laws requiring the wearing of seatbelts, laws regulating how much responsibility a parent can give a child, an so forth (this is not an exhaustive list) have nothing to do with protecting people or their property and thus constitute either armed robbery or kidnapping when enforced. All such laws should be abolished. The only laws that should be enforced deal with acts of aggression against another person or their property. And those laws should be enforced by voluntarily funded police, and voluntarily funded courts.
And yes, this includes the unborn. Abortion is a crime against humanity. Some libertarians do not realize this, just as some small government advocates in the 1850's thought slavery should be legal because "small government." They are wrong. But their being wrong is no excuse for any of the numerous things government does that have nothing to do with protecting life or property.
I am a libertarian voluntarist. Neither liberal nor conservative. Both liberal and conservative ideologies are anti-Biblical and anti-godly.
how utterly IRONIC!
Please tell the government this. Please tell them to reverse Roe v Wade b/c the Sup Ct had NO business over-riding the will of the people in TX
geez... get a grip
You hear something I say, apply it to something that I apparently didn't address, and then assume I don't agree with you just because I didn't mention it.
Roe v Wade should be abolished. Abortion is evil. Abortion should be punishable by death.
