I have no doubt that this abhorrent mind had "Liberty" in his rambling manafesto.
I don't know whether it does or it doesn't, but liberty doesn't just mean MY liberty or white man's liberty. It is liberty for all.
However there are a hierarchy of liberties. One's liberty has no right to impinge on another's. For instance; my liberty to camp in the middle of the street is subordinate to other's liberty of free thoroughfare. Ergo, camping in the middle of the street is not allowed.
Wasn't meant to be nasty, I wasn't trying to connect Wayne to the actions of a nutter, it was meant to show a disconnect of a belief and conscience.
Ok I'll accept that, but it wasn't obvious at the time.
A belief in liberty doesn't absolve one of bad behavior towards others on the site who turn up with different political view, at least I haven't seen that in Joe,s site commandments.
What do you call bad behaviour? Disagreement with your doctrine? In case you haven't noticed, you have and have had equal right to air your opinions and political ideology robustly.... without those disagreeing with you trying to invoke site rules to shut you up.
Hate the sin, love the sinner and nobody is breaking any rules.
BTW I wouldn't think any one here would not believe in liberty, its certainly not defined by your political views or level social conscience.
But socialist ideology is very much about impinging on individual liberties in favour of some collectivist ideal. That is not liberty.
