Individual rights?

Does this philosophy extend to abortion and homosexual marriages or should the government take away the "freedom" of individuals to choose those options for themelves via a Constitutional amendment?

What about the individuals rights to take any drug they want?

What about the individuals "right" to a fair trial and the "right" not to be incarcerated without due process for years?

I'm just saying the some people value "rights" in very vague terms, but in reality are all for eliminating as many rights as possible.

Some political parties (let's just say it: Republicans) cry loudly about freedom and individual rights and getting government out of our lives.

But they seem to change their tune dramatically when it comes to gay marriage, abortion and people accused of terrorism. On those issues they don't want a government they can "drown in a bath tub" -- they want to all-powerful avenging government that will take away "rights" they don't think others should have.

Individualism & Individual Rights: Individual rights is the only proper principle of human coexistence, because it rests on man’s nature, i.e., the nature and requirements of a conceptual consciousness. Man gains enormous values from dealing with other men; living in a human society is his proper way of life—but only on certain conditions. Man is not a lone wolf and he is not a social animal. He is a contractual animal. He has to plan his life long-range, make his own choices, and deal with other men by voluntary agreement (and he has to be able to rely on their observance of the agreements they entered).

Some people don't get it - They always seem to think that when there is a post on here from the peace freedom and prosperity movement, that the person that is posting it is anti-democrat and pro-republican. Give me a break - We are INDIVIDUALIST - PRO FREEDOM - LIBERTARIANS - ANARCHO-CAPITALISTS - VOLUNTARYISTS!

Ya gotta love people--already the Obama bashing has started--even though DUH the facts are Homeland Security was created and implemented by former President George W. Bush--and then there is the small fact that in the 1980's when air traffic controllers started saying that they were not being adequately trained or paid for the job they did in protecting our skies and thus went on strike- the Republican Messiah--Ronald Reagan-simply went in and fired everybody and gutted the agency all together which lead to a complete denial of the problems with air traffic control and airport security until a group of foreign terrorists on 9/11 pointed out the flaw in deregulation and complete lack of government oversight (and a group of homegrown terrorists disguised as bankers ran the middle class and pretty much the economy off the cliff using the same loophole--but that's another story).

But because I am literate and know what words actually mean and understand the concept of sarcasm (teabaggers) and really have no use for the established elitist members of either political party--someone will come along and call me a "libretard"

Liberals may shred the US Constitution but Conservatives have enough glue and tape to put it back together again. The Constitution of the USofA is not a Humpty Dumpty, but the Democrat/Liberal Elitists are "the King's Men." [They think Obama is their King.]

This is what happens when you let the lowest common denominators of society control your security...
