Conservatives Beware — Lest You Drive Moderates to Extremism!
One of the classic liberal conceits, the knee jerkisms, apparent in a couple of comments above is that conservatism and religious right are the same thing.
I guess when you only have 12 firing neurons up there in the ole head, you naturally gravitate to such kinds of simplistic worldviews.
My goal isn’t so much “small” government (though highly limited federal government is embedded in our founding documents) as it is lean and mean government. It is the ever burgeoning federal bureaucracy (what ? Obama has added yet another layer with 15 Russian Czars ?) and thousands upon thousands of un-firable people in jobs where they push paper around, for life, well, I could write here all day as to how the crippling and ineptitude are endemic to our own current version of Jabba the Hutt federal government.
Oh, and it’s against my very soul to ever want that government to do anything at all beyond (practically) its sole job “provide for the common defense”.
Because anything that government has immersed itself in in my lifetime (medicine, education, anything) has turned to sh!t under bureaucratic meddling.
