The Right-- call them "conservatives" or Republicans-- are just as wrong as their opposition but on different issues.
They are wrong about police, "borders", the military, and many paternalistic things.
Cops are not the good guys, and they need to be abolished. No, this doesn't mean (other) criminals should be allowed to run rampant- just that cops are not the answer.
"Borders" are a violation of property rights. Closing them works both ways and I don't advocate caging Americans to "protect" us from foreigners or drugs. Government programs to import foreigners, handout programs, and other such things to artificially encourage people to come here are big problems and need to end, but closing "borders" isn't the answer.
The military doesn't protect your freedom or keep you safe. It puts you in danger and empowers the state. And, it sucks up your money and uses it against you.
Taxation is wrong, no matter what you use the stolen money for. It's not only wrong to spend it to import foreigners; it's also wrong to spend it on "border" control, police, or a military.
Prohibition "for your own good" is wrong.
Censorship is wrong.
Anti-gun "laws" are all completely wrong, in every instance. The Right simply can NOT be trusted on guns, either. They are usually less awful than the others, but seem to always be looking for some excuse to make up or enforce rules against guns and gun owners.
The Constitution isn't the savior of liberty that the Right seems to believe it is. It established a state, and that's either an unforgivable mistake or an intentional plot.
Opinions about morality are fine. Government making up or enforcing legislation to impose someone's version of morality on those who don't share it is wrong. Making things illegal only makes everything worse.
None of this means the Left is any more correct-- they aren't. They are just wrong in different ways on different issues.
Also, I always appreciate any support.
