    What does that mean to liberals? Give me Free stuff.

    What does it mean to conservatives? Give me my guns, and leave me alone.

    I'm pretty sure for conservatives it actually means "plz Mr. government protect me from the drag queens"

    In the 1700s, conservatives would have shot them on sight.

    If you ask and answer your own questions, you have no need for a message board.

    In the 1700s, conservatives would have been Tories, and aligned with the Crown.

    So...not leaving them alone is what you are saying...

    So, you want the government to force your choices on others, but leave you alone because they should agree with all of your choices?

    Also they would have worn wigs, used powder on their hair and face and worn tight breeches and frilly shirts

    Well, to be fair he said "leave me alone" not leave everyone alone. Nothing to parse, no subtext, just text.

    It means you and your ilk bark about liberty as you cheer the rights of others being curtailed or taken away. Hypocrisy much?

    Seems like we are headed back to that with the quickness. At least we have better powder now.

    … then they all agreed on things like black people were property and only white male land owners could vote. Sounds nice, but it was empty words to them…

    Good point… it was also “give ME liberty”…. Not “give everyone liberty”.

    No doubt all pedophiles using today’s logic of the right wing. It’s a wonder we made it as a society.

    Depends on your definition of liberty.
    Unfettered liberty or limited liberty.
