RFOG preferred over DFOG

● I prefer the republican form of government, where the people are sovereigns, and the government is their servant. I like it when government secures endowed rights, but only governs those who consent.
● But if folks want the democratic form of government, where the people are subjects and the government rules them, who am I to say they can't.
● And if 82+ years of collectivist servitude under “emergency rules” isn’t enough to persuade them to change, I can’t imagine what will.


(I doubt that many readers will recognize that the questionnaire only deals in laws that do no apply under the republican form, since they do not secure endowed (sacred) rights to life, liberty and / or absolute ownership of private property.)

Caveats -

Abortion in cases of threat to life of mother.

Support SS Civil Unions that confer same benefits as those conferred upon married couples.

I don't understand how the goverment can decide someone's right to marry. Always thought religion and goverment were suppose to be seperated.
