I want a “leave me alone” society

I want a “leave me alone” society. “…one where Christian schools can turn people away for rejecting their doctrine, just as gay rights groups can reject those who don’t share their beliefs. …’consensus’ is usually a fancy word for muting minority viewpoints. I want us all to be free to be annoyed with each other from our separate corners.” Throw in drinking as big a soda as we want, owning guns, not buying health insurance, etc, etc… subvert the entire leftist, nannyist, technocratic, statist dominant paradigm.

    • There is a big difference between being left alone, and being so annoying that nobody wants to talk to you.

      • Actually I think the Creepy is bordering on Harassment of us, repeating nonsensical crap. posting it everywhere, like spray painting dirty words on a church wall, no reason for it but there are those that feel they must . I feel the need for a restraining order....I am a victim...................:)

  • Just a heads up: liberals aren't technocratic. That would imply they pick people who actually know how the real world works for positions. You know, like real doctors for looking at healthcare reform, an actual farmer for the head of the USDA, or a practicing engineer to be Secretary of Energy.

    • Progressives are administrators. Usually bad ones. This piece is interesting and I thought enough of it to post on my FB wall. I don't like gay marriage. The imagery grosses me out for starters and none of us know what if any will be the long term effect on kids raised in gay households. That being said, my libertarian streak causes me to face my own bigotry and try to tolerate it if not accept it. Not easy.

    • Even Home Depot tries to have a licensed professional working in their departments. Too bad the government doesn't take a hint from them!
