Its amazing how minimalizing federal government intrusion into our lives is no longer conservative, its libertarian.

And you said that like it was a bad thing.

In this specific instance, your argument is wrong. It is generally right as a principle, but it can definitely go too far. The modern conservative movement was founded on the principle of "ordered liberty," not liberty as an end in itself. Liberty can become license, as it has in this instance.
