<<<<< Other myths would include "individual responsibility" >>>>>

Weird wording if you ask me. The myth would be that conservatives say they believe in individual responsibility - but then don't live my their own claims. Here is what you would agree to and urge if individuals were honest about "individual responsibility;

1) An individual would be responsible for their own health care.

2) It would be up to the individual to which recreational drugs they used - not the government.

3) What a woman did when she was faced with a child conceived from incest or abortion would be up to her - not the government.

4) It would be the individuals own responsibility who they married - not the governments.

5) How a person ends their life would be up to the individual - not the governments.

6) Allll those businesses and farmers would NOT rely on government hand outs but making a profit would be their own individual responsibility.

Conservatives speak with forked tongue; they really want the government to help them run their businesses, help with their medical cost when they don't have insurance, and in general they want the government to be responsible for our own morality. They're not for individual responsibility at all that's for sure!
