[Hemingway's Ghost]

And they have freedom loving, patriotic, limited-government "conservatives" cheering them on. Who'd have thunk it?

It's mind-boggling to think of the time, money, and energy we've spent worrying about what others put into their bodies, or how others conduct their private lives. For me, the golden rule of conservatism has always been "above all, mind your own business."
