I just noticed the sideways smear with the implication that being a conservative minded person somehow meant I was a racist homophobe. How original...never would have guessed that was coming. I'm all for gays getting married. (I'm against men and women getting married though...
) I was just at a gay wedding this summer where two of my friends got married. And I don't support racial discrimination either.
Freedom and Liberty are very much entwined in the economic model one lives under. For you to think that liberty has nothing to do with how much of my property the government decides I can keep is assinine. It has everything to do with liberty and freedom.
Funny that you should mention the malleability of the word "liberty".
