HYPOCRISY

THE PEOPLE WHO TALK ABOUT WANTING TO GET RID OF BIG GOVERNMENT, WHO TALK ABOUT NOT WANTING TO INCREASE TAXES AND WHO TALK ALOT ABOUT ABSTRACT QUALITIES LIKE FREEDOM, ARE THE SAME PEOPLE, WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT WHAT THEY STAND FOR, WHO WANT TO ENFORCE MORAL LEGISLATION — FOR INSTANCE, THEY WANT TO KEEP DRUGS ILLEGAL AND CRIMINALIZE ABORTION AND GAY MARRIAGE AND ENFORCE, THROUGH THE ACTIONS OF GOVERNMENT, LIMITS ON THE FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE TO PURSUE THEIR PERSONAL LIVES WITHOUT INTERFERENCE. THEY WANT TO PUT PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS IN JAIL AT EXPENSE TO THE TAXPAYER. THEY WANT THESE ACTIONS, WHICH ARE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT AND INCREASE THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT, TO BE BASICALLY SUPPORTED AT THE EXPENSE OF PROGRAMS OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH AND INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH MIGHT AID THE VERY PEOPLE WHO OFTEN WIND UP ADDICTED TO DRUGS AND OTHER MEANS OF ESCAPE FROM THEIR DAMAGED LIVES, WHILE ASKING NOTHING IN THE WAY OF SUPPORT FOR THEIR IDEAS BY THE GREAT BULK OF THE PEOPLE WHOSE IDEAS THEY ARE.
THIS STRIKES ME AS ABSOLUTELY ILLOGICAL. I CANT IMAGINE WHY ANY THINKING PERSON CAN FAIL TO SEE THE HYPOCRISY IMPLICIT IN THESE VIEWS.
