    Please read my posts, you then wouldn’t make so many mistakes.

    Basically there are many factions of the right just as there are many factions of the right.

    I look at what people say and promote, not at what they claim to be. Your views do seem to be of the right, if you have any views that are based in the philosophy of the left you haven’t yet expressed them.

    My "political stance" here is "anti-bullshittist". Which means I have very little time for b.s.

    It has been said that if you do not like someone's posts, use the "ignore" feature. Good for forum politics, right? But I find that you are NOT ALLOWED to ignore moderators. Surprise, surprise. My political stance on this issue is that I think it resembles slavery. The "master/slave" relationship can not be escaped as presented. This is nothing more than a smaller version of big government having it's nose directly up your ass, telling you what to do, and there is nothing you can do about it.

    I happen to LIKE talking about politics. So, I'm not leaving unless forced. So, the only option I can see is to refuse to play the game with someone who you are not allowed to ignore..

    This is an example of my POLITICAL STANCE on just about every issue that I disagree with in the real world as well. If I totally disagree with something, I ignore it and live my life the way I want to anyhow. Maybe I have to "go underground" a bit, but I am nobody's slave. Seriously, I have "unofficially" seceeded some of my farm from the US. I now have a "country" of about 50 acres called "Stone" and visitors are allowed to do anything they like there as long as it is not destructive. And as long as the "government representatives" are all too fat and stupid and lazy to do a lot of hiking and searching in order to CONTROL whatever might or might not be happening in "Stone", then we are safe and they will never know the difference. And the freedom of Stone, it's all in my mind. But it is also REAL. Because the inhabitants of Stone make it so.
    Basically, what I'm saying is that you do not have to live by all the laws of the land if you don't feel like they are right or they shouldn't apply. You just have to get your MIND in the right place. Most "politics" is an illusion anyhow, existing mostly in peoples minds. Just like all the labels and categories. Mental constraints. And in my humble "political" opinion, humans should be encouraged to use their minds, not kept from it. Not bullied, forced, cajoled, manipulated, boxed in or otherwise enslaved. Mental and emotional slavery is just as big a deal as physical slavery. And most folks don't even realize they are slaves at all.

    Having a small government doesn't mean that their is a weak democratic element in a society. Hell, our government is anything but democratic.

    True democracy hasn't existed since 508BC in Greece.

    Your thought process is flawed.

    Which isn't surprising at all.

    They are by no means the "law of the land."


    They are simply statutes.


    The only REAL law, is the Law of Creation.

    This is true. What balbus also doesn't understand is that America is not a democracy. It's a republic. There are differences. I'm not sure what UK is but I'm not listing the differences. Anyone who cares to know can do a little research.

    It's more than a piece of paper, it's the basis of this government and nation. It put into place a system based on simple concepts that all could understand, that all could support when that fails then you open this nation up to fragmentation. Then it's one faith or faction against another. Perhaps that's where the rich want us to be fighting against each other while they become richer.

    I personally think it ranks higher than the magna carta.
