Ideological differences

I am an atheist, a materialist, and an empiricalist- that much we might agree on. But the more I look around this website the more I see that the majority of you are socialist, progressives, and authoritarians. Most of you oppose gun rights and economic freedom, most of you support welcoming in millions of terrorists into our countries, and most of you supported Hillary. Albeit, I supported Trump, but at least I can admit he is a douchebag and that his daughter is a shithead.

Either way it is aside the point, I know a Marxist and we get along, I know a Neo-nazi and we get along, I even know a few populists and we get along. My Great Aunt and Great Grandma both voted for Hillary- and yet I'm cool with them. That isn't the problem. I'm not one of these trendies who freaks put when someone dares to disagree with them, that's not the point.

For many of you, it isn't enough to believe, for example, that no one needs a gun, you want to force me to act in accordance with your wrong belief.

Furthermore, many of you can't even come up with an argument against my stances. When I made a post saying I would like for most government functions to be handled locally, myckob responded by calling it stupid, which is not an argument. He didn't make the same response to truett, who advocated a global communist regime, so why not apply it to the other extreme?

It seems that many of your ideas were also adopted from the Nazis- who supported strong government control of the economy, social welfare programs, gun prohibition, a European Super State, and eventually, a World Government.

I am a Classical Liberal- as a Classical Liberal, I support decentralised power, strong borders, maximum personal and economic freedom, and a smaller, less intrusive government. If you don't like it- that's your problem. On a few occasions I have avoided expressing my stances as to not make people like myckob angry, but it isn't my job to agree with you.

Abraham Lincoln once said 'you can get some of the people to like you all of the time, and you can get all of the people to like you some of the time, but you will never get all of the people to like you all of the time.' I just have different beliefs than the rest of you, and so I am bound to make enemies- so deal with it.
