17: You believe corporations are people too, and are deserving of the same rights as the rest of us. Just not the same obligations to pay personal income tax free of corporate loopholes, or penalties for massive criminal behavior and tax evasion. In these matters, corporations are deserving of special rights.

16: You strongly defend individual freedom, but that freedom doesn’t include a woman’s right to decide her own healthcare needs.

As I have been saying for years, conservatives support individual freedom, but only insofar as the individual is acting in a manner that the conservative approves of. Or, to put that more succinctly, conservatives do not support individual freedom.
