As one of my sig-files goes ....
"Libertarianism without Conservatism is anarchy. Conservatism without Libertarianism is fascism."
"Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face."
-- Thomas Sowell
I'm more of a P.J. O'Rourke fan, but that's a good quote.
Except for Bill Buckley, most of the rest of the grumpy, bluenosed conservatives just don't move my mental muscles.
And I must be an outcast - I wouldn't do Ann Coulter if she had a freshly-baked meatloaf and mashed 'taters on the dinner table.
