(13,459 posts)And if they agree that those restrictions constitute freedom for them, fine, none of my business. We have many more religious zealots with quite a bit more power; thanks to our two party system. I wish it were otherwise, believe me. And I am very certain that you do not really want Southern Baptists electing representatives that will be voting on what they consider blasphemy to be.
Aren't those parliamentary systems with more than two parties, where religious zealots do not control nearly half of the elected officials?
Countries have their differences. We have freedom of speech. I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever been attacked on a Progressive message board for supporting freedom of speech. That's more than a little strange to me. I thought we were about real, personal freedoms unlike the so-called conservatives who criminalize everything they can. Is this still the same DU that is repulsed by the Patriot Act? Freedom?
