There are no pictures for libs, so you'll have to listen. Before you go into Republican bashing mode, you might want to realize that the speaker in the video is a libertarian/conservative as I am who opposes the big government of the Bush administration just like most libertarian/conservatives. They abhor the kind of politics the Republicans resort to in the name of populism, like the housing bailouts. They also stand against socially conservative government, because it is just another form of socialism. However, the Left (progressives, liberal Dems, whatever you want to call yourselves), blind in its opposition to free market philosophy, commits even greater violations of individual liberty in its neverending quest to find government solutions to problems that no government has ever solved. The more power you give the government, the less you have. If you grant the government the power to grant rights, you also give it the power to take them away.

That’s true, though libertarians oppose that at even the state level. Libertarian/conservatives kind of split half and half, but all agree the states deciding these issues would be better than the federal government.
