[POLL] POLITICAL THOUGHTS

Not only do I not vote, but two days ago a political type knocked on our door and handed me a pamphlet. Rather than being polite or humoring her, I flatly said that I don't vote, handed her back the pamphlet, and slammed the door in her face. I don't even do that to Jehovah's Witnesses.

I've never met a liberal with any respect for life or family. If they do, they're probably not actually in line with all the values on abortion, and are just casually aligned with the party in the first place.

Abortion is not respecting life. You're killing unborn children, how much more clearly can you put that? Oh, but it's not "alive" yet. And families generally fail due to the two working parents model (it doesn't matter which one does it, but better to have one car, and one person stay home, and you'd actually save money on babysitters/childcare).

Greater disposable income means the average person can employ people. Which means we don't have to throw money around to "create" jobs, because people are employing people on their own. Let's talk about gun rights. The most violent countries? They're either war-torn countries anyway, or they're places where the people are powerless to stop a few brutal thugs

I'm a libertarian. Calling me a teabagger only makes you look stupid

What a nice thing to do. Next, I'll turn the garden hose on those missionaries.
Seriously? What did she do to you? Have some respect, man.

In this country, if things get any more factional, who you voted for will possibly be monitored, and at the very least, you might not be hired for a job based on who you voted for. In other countries, you can actually be killed for how you vote. Political solicitors are a bad element in our society. And respect is earned by respecting others (she didn't have respect for our privacy, trying to ask if my parents were interested, after I'd said no to her).

Barrack Obama.
I've never seen any conservative who understands scientific facts and not talk to their imaginary buddy on the sky.

Barack Obama is a hypocrite and a liar (telling Americans to pay their fair share, when he gave very little in taxes, and his staff gave even less). I happen to believe in scientific facts and religious truths. For that matter, I have a pet theory that uses science, logic, and existential philosophy to prove the existence of a deity.

If they don't want to have the baby, then it's their choice to get rid of it before it is born. What should they do? It's not like they want to take care of the baby until it grows up. Should they spend their money feeding the pregnant mom and then give up the baby to Angelina Jolie?

Yes, funny you should mention choice. Most liberal practice is about removing choice. Such as, the choice of the child to live or not. Where's its rights? For that matter, liberals don't seem to know that adoption agencies exist, and even if they didn't, most of the country still allows anonymous abandonment of a child on a doorstep. You have the choice to do anything you want once you have the child, you have the choice to try to kill it off before it develops into anything. What you don't have the choice to do, however is behave like an a-hole and remove the choices of others, waiting until the child is born and then sticking a pin in its head. For that matter, if you've been raped, you are well within rights as far as I'm concerned, to go knock on your rapist's door and brutally murder him, but what did a child do to you?

Greater disposable income means the average person can employ people. Which means we don't have to throw money around to "create" jobs, because people are employing people on their own.

That's a possibility. Maybe they will, maybe they won't.
Gun control isn't the solution, but it is a enough as a temporary patch. What's wrong with having background check? Most responsible gun owners should have no problem with it. I just don't really care much about guns, so I'm kinda like whatever.

Again, this is their choice. If you're a slacker, you won't get hired, and shouldn't expect handouts.
Background checks are not gun control, they're responsible gun ownership. Gun control is "you can't own guns, or you can own certain (common) gun types because they're too dangerous." Totally different things, because one only prevents unstable people from use, and one prevent other people from defending themselves against said unstable people (who managed to get one anyway).

I'm a libertarian. Calling me a teabagger only makes you look stupid

A libertarian demands absolute freedom, and recognizes that the price of such freedom is being aware of the boundaries of others (i.e. if nobody stole, raped, etc we'd have no need of police or laws). A spoiled brat expects to have everything easily, and would be okay with trampling on other's rights and casually ending the life of an innocent child because it's "inconvenient."

You sure sounded like one.

Interesting. The one who came up with the term "Tea bagging" for the Tea Party? None other that your "respect for life and family" Barrack Obama. Harmonic, the problem was they didn't see any bias at all.
