Conservatism faced an identity crisis in 2001 when Lyndon Baines Bush started Great Society II and the “Republican” Congress spent the next six years going along with it. That completely undermined the conservative coalition. Now spending restraint has necessarily taken center stage and social conservatives are crying about how they aren’t the center of attention anymore. Big government is the Whore of Babylon that social conservatives ignore at their peril. It is evil, pure and simple. Unless we cut the size of government, there will be no more social conservatism. Conversely, if government is small, it won’t be pushing things like gay marriage and abortion on demand. It won’t be able to. The bottom line is that way too many social “conservatives” are Huckabee type Christian Socialists who want a big government as long as it does their bidding on social issues.

I am for leveling the Federal government in a process of constitutional restoration. All at once and completely in an unread peice of emergency leglislation. ;)

Libertarians are not so innocent. They support liberalism’s humanist or atheist State religion but scream like stuck pigs if they hear a Christian assert moral behaviors and choices in life.

You can not have constitutional freedom with a culture of Marxism as is the ideal of Rand. The former is capable of self rule and independence from the government; the later guarentees a police state made for undiscerning, amoral, immediate gratification peasants who are a danger to themselves and the society as a whole. An amoral, material culture promises more dishonest bankster type abuse.
