| Conservatives claim to champion
personal freedom and liberty, and they argue for less government intervention in our
personal lives. But did you ever hear about liberals banning books or Beatles records?
What I find most infuriating about modern conservatives is their hypocrisy. Listen to Sean
Hannity and those like him. Every day he thumps his chest, and proclaims America is great
for its freedom. Yet his kind of thinking puts harmless drug users and prostitutes in
jail. If we are not free to take drugs in the privacy of our own homes, or pay a willing
partner for sex, then we are not free at all. |
