At least he doesn't live here anymore. You can have him...

EDIT I guess thats why its called neo-conservative. But I've never understoof why someone would want a less regulated economy whilst also pushing to maintain gay marriage bans. I have no issue with capitalism and having a free market, but I also want social freedom. But hey, thats just me...


Yeah... I... don't get it.  I believe the explination goes, that economic freedoms generally lead to a bettering of the world, since the best products and buisnesses will always win out, regulations protecting inferior products, ways of buisness and treatment of customers.   While too much personal freedoms will lead to crime, immorality and drug use that will influence culture as a whole hurting the advancment of society economically making everybody worse off due to former productive happy people become burnt out, unhappy people trapped in a life of debauchery.  Basically, the same excuses drugs are banned.

Though I don't get the democrats either... who are for some social freedoms and not other social freedoms.

But then again I never saw what was wrong with the general policy of "People can do whatever they want so long as they don't physically or financially hurt someone else."

 

It's not like the USA IS perfect  either.  What with Obama extending the patriot act with no changes.
