One of the slanders of conservatives is that we are against all government regulations.

We aren’t. Those people are anarchists, the political brethren of liberals.

Most conservatives believe in limited government (and therefore some regulations) and abhor excessive regulation.

It’s government employees that I dislike much more than regulation. Especially when it becomes obvious that their own rules do not apply to them.

Actually, there’s a pretty good argument for real Anarchists (not the “black-bloc” nitwits) being the ultimate Libertarians. Extreme leftist politics generally takes the form of communism/socialism/fascism. The extreme of big-gov right is military dictatorship, and the extreme of small-gov conservatives tends to true anarchism.
