Anti-Gay Concentration Camps

@Redeemer: I'm sorry it came across that way. I really have no ill will toward you. And I was NOT referring to abductions happening in countries with highly conservative voter bases. The only point I was making is that I find double standards in the conservative republican ideology itself. I can point out two that apply to my country now.

#1:

Assertion: "Our top priority should be to reduce spending and balance the budget."

Hypocrisies: Copious "defense" spending (ie. wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.), politicians giving money to anti gay rights groups, and so on

#2

Assertion: "The scope of government should be reduced and have less hold on our lives"

Hypocrisies: We lower taxes because they don't have the right to our hard earned money, yet this same party can fight to become the moral police of the nation! What the hell?!

Basically if you think about it the ideology idolizes money above human rights. A few people are uncomfortable about the gays, so we can involve our own damn government to prevent them from living their life, yet when it comes to money and gun it's paws off! Biggest double standard...

I have the same opinion over light drugs, but that's a more debatable/gray area issue. Also, for the record I am democrat but do not support gun control. In that sense I'm more or less libertarian.
