Another "Conservative"

I've already posted the conversation that preceded this about how public school is bad. This guy comes along a few days later and posts this comment, and here is my response, but I have a few additional comments below.

What I didn't bother to say in reply to the guy is that the whole purpose of the group and politics is to convince people to think a certain way. (At least that's what it ought to be, but most use it to get government to force people to do things--the actual Gestapo.)

When he says "You have NO right to tell people they have to think a certain way...", he's telling me I have to think a certain way. The statement is self-refuting, and shows the level of thought in this group. It's as if everyone in the group has gone to substandard public schools. He can't live up to his own principle.

The whole principle of public school is built on the idea that society, the government, the voters or whoever, is going to force people to pay for government schooling whether they like it or not.

I unashamedly attempt to convince people of my beliefs, which include pointing out the immorality of forcing people to pay for public schools. I can see certain situations where in the far-from-biblical world we live in where some people might almost have no choice but to send their kids to public school, accept social security or welfare. I see no way around using roads or occasionally having to call the police or fire department. What I don't see is conservatives supporting those socialist programs and not working to establish alternatives so that they can be ended...exactly for the reason that Henry points out. Because those programs demand a Gestapo to force people to pay for them whether they like it or not.

Henry's comments were completely hypocritical. He's the one supporting the Gestapo. He's the one violating his own principle of not telling others what to think.

And I also don't care for those who post responses and never respond back after I reply. Which he has done in the past.
