I was reading the Open Thread forum and Dee Bunk has inspired me to write this thread. I wish there were more conservatives like her and Candance.

I like the fact conservatives want to protect our country from people that want to destroy us. Unlike liberals, conseratives do not want to coddle terrorists and will do what it takes to make this great country safe and defend our Freedom.

Freedom however is the key word. Many conservatives want to take away our rights that do nobody any harm except for ourselves.

ie

: civil unions

: euthanasia

: adult entertainment

: To a point drug use

: prostitution

When I have voiced my opinions, I have heard many different comments. No one would care if you stuck a gun in your own mouth shawn, are you gay shawn? Or my personal favorite, this shawn guy is obessed with porn.

I am not obessed with porn, I am obsessed with free speech even when it has to do with things I do not agree with. There was a huge commotion about a month back about a writer on NB going on another site trashing somebodys religion. I do not agree with what that writer said, but I will crawl on broken glass for that writers point of view to be heard.

Another poster has stated a point that all laws are based on some sort of morality and I agree with that to point but one persons morality might be different that another persons. The supreme court ruled many years ago that apparently it is moral to destry a fetus in a womans womb. Does everybody agree with that?

If one wants to drink, smoke or watch provocative tv or decide to end ones life with dignity, I do not believe it is up to anybody else to dictate to that individual what he/she cannot do.

Now before someone brings up the liberals, the fairness doctrine or derail this thread talking about the evil Democrats. This is not about the Democrats, this is about individual freedom.
