Hi, I am ML2007 from Texas. I am a moderate in most all things in my life. I believe moderation is the balance in life that makes us sane. To me, Extremism has been what makes us unbalanced and insane. I am moderate in my political views and lean toward Populist and Libertarian philosophies. I have always voted Independent, but have actively worked within the party frameworks for an individual I thought worthy of being elected.
If we can agree that the definition of Fascism is the willingness to favor the state above individual rights as the dictionary says, then, I think this country, the US of America, has been slowly evolving into a Fascist state for some time. I believe for whatever reason, it is inexcusable to take away our individual rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the US. I refer most recently to the suspension of Habeas Corpus by our current President, to illegal wiretapping, and to torture of humans, regardless of citizenship and without recourse. Therefore, I spend a great deal of time debating those who cannot reconcile how the ideology of fascism supports such ideas.
Finally, I believe in calmly debating the issues, and I take no quarters, but if the debate turns personal toward myself or one of my friends or family, I will defend myself with twice the voracity of the attacker. I will always prefer debating issues. I am not familiar with this forum and their rules on this site, yet, and how they handle these matters. The social site I just came from was very lax in dealing with such matters, but now they seem to censor what they do not agree with. I am seeking a sight that allows free speech and the exercise thereof, but will draw capable debaters who wish to discuss and debate the issues, not personalities. If you are not mature, then, when you debate me, beware. I give no quarters, and I do not ask for any in return.
