According to a new study released by the Mercatus Center of George Mason University, some of the most liberal U.S. states rank lowest when it comes to personal freedom.

No way! You mean to tell me, that if you believe in continuously and systemically giving away your indigenous power to surrogate entities that personal freedom suffers? Get outta here!

I'm with you Todd...they needed a study? I could have told them that for a couple cases of Natty Light.

LOL Tippy...I thinking the same thing but it was from Todd and it's clear he is middle of the road and doesn't take sides, so I'll take it no matter the source he's posting! LOL :)

No no...I was merely mocking those who reject the entirety of a study simply based on from where the study originates. Im sure glad we don't have anyone on THIS forum who would ever do such a thing. ;)

Actually, I get stuff from Newsmax all the time, so I assumed it was conservative based on sites I've looked at and/or belong to. Personally, I don't think Fox News is that conservative, they just have more conservative analysts than the other networks...but for straight news, I don't think they are more conservative or liberal than anyone else...maybe they give more right-sided views than the more liberal news networks, but they have liberals on there too giving their views with equal time...again, I'm only talking about the straight news stories.

I always laugh when liberals point at Bill O'Reilly as some voice of conservatives...conservatives for the most part hate him...he is neither conservative or liberal...he just hates liars and cheats and likes calling them out. Most people (like myself) find him just a little too full of himself and annoying to watch. :)
