I have grown weary of all the comments from conservatives about freedom. I’m not sure what conservatives mean by freedom but some examples of where they (some not all) are not for freedoms are:
- Freedom for two consenting adults to determine appropriate sexual activity.
- Freedom to decide when and if to have a baby.
- Freedom to live in a society that controls abusive activity by corporations/businesses.
- A freedom of religion definition that includes freedom from religion.
I am sure there are more examples but what does that leave us as examples of freedom that conservatives seek:
- Economic freedoms to act in any manner with the philosophy of buyer beware.
- Freedom to impose their religious ideals on any and all.
- Freedom to use private and public property to their economic benefit without regard to the impact on others.
