Do you not    believe in freedom and liberty?  <\/p>\n<p>    The fact is, that the far left and the far right do    not believe in freedom and liberty. They claim    to, but they (unfortunately) dont grasp the actual concepts of    the words freedom and liberty. Both of them pervert    these terms into what their own ideologies are. That is    the core of our problems in this country.  <\/p>\n<p>    I hated numerous things about Barack Obama and some of the    decision he made while in office. To me, he seemed to be    a far left, government hand out to everyone, raise the national    debt as high as humanly possible in two terms, freedom sucking    douche bag.  <\/p>\n<p>    So what did I do when it came down to Trump or Clinton? I    voted for Trump, the one person who wasnt a career politician,    who I hoped would bring balance to the force so to speak, and    get us back on the right track.  <\/p>\n<p>    Im slowly but surely proving to be wrong in my initial    assumptions about him and his presidency. And yes, Im    having some buyers remorse.  <\/p>\n<p>    The thing is, at least Im recognizing it.    Im having the personal judgement to look at things from a    critical thinking standpoint despite what my initial personal    beliefs were.  <\/p>\n<p>    The far right seems to have some carnal infatuation with their    dearly beloved emperor that no matter what he does, or how    completely he reverts on his campaign promises, they will    support him blindly. I swear to God, even if he drove us    into 40 trillion dollars in debt, raised our taxes to 50%, and    trashed the 4th amendment completely to make the job    of cops easier to search and seize each of us, the far right    would make excuse after excuse for him simply because they    voted for him.  <\/p>\n<p>    Cognitive dissonance people! Look it up! We are    Americans, not peasants to worship one man. One man does    not equal America. I dont care whos President.  <\/p>\n<p>    The same can also be said for some of Trumps pics.  <\/p>\n<p>    Look at Jeff Sessions, for example, as the Attorney    General. This guy wants to push the war on drugs to full    force, despite how any and all evidence points to how the    contrary would benefit us as a nation; the war would only    continue to make things worse.  <\/p>\n<p>    Hes just like every far right wing friend I have. Show    them the proof all day long, and just because they dont like    it, and it isnt in line with their political ideology, and    their political picks (through Trump), they file it faster than    you can blink.  <\/p>\n<p>    The hypocrisy of this is that conservatives (me being one of    them), during the Obama administration, used to love    facts.  <\/p>\n<p>    We would throw them in far left Liberals faces all the time    over their nonsense arguments.  <\/p>\n<p>    But now, facts dont mean a thing to so called conservatives    when they dont like it. They are now acting just like    the left when it comes to facts! Its the same    thing, just a different side of the political spectrum.  <\/p>\n<p>    Of course, the far left are no different. Try to teach    them economics, and how theres no such thing as free    college, or no benefit to raising the minimum wage to 15 bucks    an hour, and youll be scorned to hell and back for pointing    out mathematical facts. There is no escape from math since is a    completely non biased universal language that you cant argue    your way around.  <\/p>\n<p>    As Libertarians, this is the nonsense we see from both    sides: What about muh roads? No problem right    wingers, if its that important, private individuals and    corporations will offer to pay for it.  <\/p>\n<p>    What about muh birth control? Get a job and pay for it    yourself leftists! What about muh government    protection? You right wingers have argued for years that    you need the rights to carry a gun anywhere you want because    cops cant get there on time, so whats your problem now?  <\/p>\n<p>    But, muh abortions, what about em leftists? Im not    paying for that with my tax dollars, no one should have    to. But, the gay marriages what about em    rightist?? Get over it.  <\/p>\n<p>    It has nothing to do with you personally, or your religion, and    getting government involved to force your personal ideologies    on those who dont align with your personal and religious    beliefs is none of your business. I dont see you arguing    that Satanists should not be allowed to get married; I could go    on and on.  <\/p>\n<p>    We have got to break through this barrier of right and left and    just get back to what is in the best interest of the American    people as a whole. Whats in the best interests of the    individual, and what the Constitution actually says (and no,    that document is not fluid).  <\/p>\n<p>    The only way to do that, is get government out of the decision    making process for our everyday activities. No one,    whether you are on the left or the right, knows how to run your    personal life better than you  and you alone; without the    government being involved.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      Like Loading...    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/beinglibertarian.com\/why-statists-state\/\" title=\"Why Statists State - Being Libertarian\">Why Statists State - Being Libertarian<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Why Statists State: Facts dont matter to the left or the right.
