A word to the wise. If you are going to continue to post on Free Republic, make sure your posts are consistent with the principles of limited government, original intent, Natural rights, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, i.e., having a government that will just leave people the hell alone.

Good advice, and also a good thing to give young (?) conservatives a chance to figure out what exactly it is that they believe.

So, FreedomStar, there is such a thing as too much government. Conservatives favor limited government that is limited to those actions that governments tend to do better. Protecting life/liberty/pursuit of happiness: Defense, foreign and domestic, social and economic, and adjudication. I add transportation and highways to that list, but some don't, but I have no problem with individuals owning toll roads/bridges. It's just too big and expensive a project even for a corporation, anymore.

Conservatism also supports retaining the positive values that have been revealed to humanity over the eons by Nature's God.

It seems anymore that as soon as discussion of God enters the conversation that many modern conservatives become humanist libertarians.

Thank you for the advice. I’ve had awhile to cool down, and you’re both right. I am young, and generally frustrated about the state of the world and everything. I’m just irritated that when I try I don’t get anywhere.

I just want to work and support myself and loved ones. That’s it.
