Not a view or philosophy.

Yeah, sure, whatever. There is that thing where trump's current press secretary taking a reporter aside and telling him that if he asks a question about a specific, hot topic, that he will not be allowed to attend the briefings any more. Of course, sanders could be a closet lefty, as could the entire trump administration. Stranger things have happened.

Pretty shocking, huh?

It's such an off the wall scenario, I doubt OSH is making it up.

As a matter of interest, I'm also curious where the friend's MIL lives.

And I'd be saying the same thing if traditionalists were coming at me trying to force me into their religion, lifestyle, social preferences, etc. But they are not. You are. That's the only difference. Because, basically, I don't give one iota of a damn about what you believe, what your opinions are, or what your goals are. Have at them. What I have a problem with is you trying to tell me I have to share and live by your views and philosophies. That's not a conservative/liberal problem, that's an enslavement problem.
How are you enslaved exactly? Your answer below does not answer this question. I'm curious why someone would compare themselves to slaves??? Do you actually know what slavery means. Who has gone too far? Who are the liberals? What is going too far? What social philosophies? Thanks!

You've left the U.S. behind, and have mentioned in other threads that you aren't coming back, so why do you give a fig what we do ?

A slave is a human being forced to labor against his/her will for the benefit of someone else (complete with the line from the master that the slave himself/herself is also benefited by his/her labors... so that makes it okay ). If you folks want to run the country like an antebellum southern plantation, you've got to understand that there are going to be abolitionists who are not happy with your system.

And don't ask me to spell the system out for you. If you can't figure it out for yourself, you're either blind or a part of that system. The southern plantation owners didn't understand what they were doing wrong either. So you are in good company, right?

All the left wants to do, is shut up, all voters that vote Republican.

Oh please, substitute left for right, and read it back. It's the same snake with two heads. No one has a majority of trying to silence the other.
