Over and over on this very forum, we see those preaching that the Constitution that is suppose to preserve freedom & liberties, as extreme.


Compared to all other nations in the world, freedom is becoming extreme in the USA.

Actually, the freedom we enjoy in the United States has always been pretty extreme. Some extremists want to drive it more extreme and act like children when they don't get their way.

Yes, they act like children. Because children always feel that the people should take personal responsibility for themselves instead of having government tell them how to behave. No, wait. That doesn't sound like children at all.
Maybe it's more that children have no concept of the world outside of their own experience. Kinda like certain people on this forum who are forever harping about how anybody who doesn't share their opinion on wealth redistribution is selfish and immoral. Gee, I wonder who might fit that description bUU? How old are you, again?

Stop making vacuous rationalizations for the self-centered perspective you prefer and stop trying to project the immaturity inherent in your antisocial attitude onto others. If you are going to believe what you believe then at least have the integrity to own it.

Self-centered?

Yeah, liberty supporters certainly are that

Here's a thought: stop trying to tell people how to live their lives. Stop digging into others' pockets because you're too goddamn stingy to support charity yourself. Most importantly, stop giving your beloved government the power to do anything it desires. You dim bulbs act so goddamn intelligent; you ever think maybe the apparatus built for the "noble goals" you people support may some day be turned around against you?

Unfortunately for those of us who can see the writing on the wall, the things you idiots support harms everyone.

Yes: Self-centered. Own the attitude if you're going to peddle the perspective.

If certain people want society to stop telling them how to behave then they should stop behaving like selfish, egocentric children.

I consider myself a moral and upstanding member of a compassionate society, who does not brook with petty rationalizations for antisocial selfishness.

Your failure to understand the distinction between what I'm saying and what society says is your problem and your failure. But it isn't surprising to see a more shallow thought process in defense of the selfishness you prefer.

You still don't see it. LOL! keep looking.


HINT: It has to do with individual liberties and a man, telling another man, how to live his own life.


Society?
I do not see the word "MEN" in the entire constitution.
