Yep, republicans hate Americans and want to control every aspect of our lives. They hate freedom, whenever they see anyone expressing their liberty in a way they themselves wouldn’t they want to ban it.

The same line of thought is quoted in a noteworthy article (archived) by Cory Doctorow.

This goes quite nicely with the post where I learned about Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

Was that post related to politics? I find sovereign citizens fascinating.

Wow, you guys need to touch some grass

Funny you mention touching grass. Michael Parenti dedicates an entire chapter about how marijuana was used by Nixon to galvanize white moderates against the hippies during the Vietnam War in “Blackshirts and Reds.” You can even read it outside… on the grass.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. —Frank Wilhoit
Then much of progressivism is actually conservative, or at least very similar (social norms often replace law here).
The word "progressive" is the wrong word choice here, but you are definitely following the bread trail toward the right conclusion. ;-)
Can you explain more? I think I get what you mean, but I can’t think of examples.
