He says while skipping post 20 because he has no response to it, but will now put together some wild and twisted logic to try and prove that all government benefits can be quantified monetarily if we just dig deep enough to levels that aren't practical for any meaningful conversation.

Gerrymandering will only take you so far for so long. The writing is on the wall just like it was in 2012.

Here we go with the Gerrymandering accusations yet again.

Here we go with the Gerrymandering accusations yet again.

And the subsequent denials.

And the subsequent denials.

I would deny it too if I didn't want to bring attention to the idea that a conservative minority can overcome and rule over an ever-growing liberal majority through the use of that handy little demographic skewing device.

Time for libertarianism and the idea of freedom to gain momentum!

One man's freedom might be another man's imprisonment. If the "freedom" results in freedom for only the top 5% and servitude for the other 95%, is it really "freedom"?

Call it for what it is- Freedumb. It's the serfs believing they can become the masters through emulation.

More fear mongering. A government restrained by the Constitution ensures freedom for everyone.

Not necessarily. Real freedom means freedom in actuality, not just under law. Freedom is not a piece of paper that say "you are free".

Yes. Have the government restrained by the Constitution to help ensure people have freedom.

Why would your freedom imprison someone else?

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Why would your freedom imprison someone else?

Because legitimate conflicts of interest exist among rational men because the number of resources in the world is finite and limited. If one man claims ownership of a large amount of land or resources and you need that land and resources for growing food (etc.), your freedom might be limited.

No! Your freedom isn't limited. You have no idea what freedom is especially considering your despicable attacks on Capitalism.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

No! Your freedom isn't limited.

How is it not limited in that situation? What if you want to take some of that land to use it to grow food to feed your family?

Freedom is the ability to make choices and to be able to actualize them. Coincidentally, there isn't any such thing as "full freedom" because we live in a finite, limited world.

Amen to that!

Damn reality restricting my freedom again

it's funny... I can think of dozens of reasons to vote against the Democratic party, but I'm hard pressed to think of any reasons to vote for the GOP (outside of unicorn candidates like Christie)
