Don't worry about the republican party. What you need to worry about is pressuring your elected officials into voting for the right legislation. Depending on the day, the Democrats or Republicans (overall) might be on the right side of the issue. Saying that Democrats or Republicans or even the Libertarians are the problem is simply laziness -- get involved yourself and redefine.
completely agree with this take on what freedom encompasses, but I'm completely disheartened by the current state of the republican party which seems to have rejected this idea of personal liberty. I'm curious to know how people that view freedom in ways consistent with this video (if there are any in the republican party) square their views with the republican party's ridiculous pandering to the religious right? Abortion and gay seem to be more important than fiscal responsibility and freedom
