So you advocate the government elitists tell them what to do?

I'm not sure what would lead you to that conclusion, but you're not alone - see my reply #49.

I assume smart guys like you would be in charge.

Who better? :) No, seriously it bugs the shite out of me to see the gov't elitists, media, movie stars, talk show hosts, etc. take control of the thinking and therefore the lives of so many lemmings who are just so happy to let them.

When I agree with the statement that a lot of people need to be told what to do, I'm making an observation about human nature, not a proscription.

People may not like government restrictions, but the sad fact is that most people in this world (and this nation) need to be told what to do and when to do it.

If that's your belief, what are you doing on a constitutional conservative website?

Sorry, I'm going to have to agree with the caller on this one. I'm basically independent / conservative, and like most people on this forum, a big part of that is thinking for myself. But the sad fact is that most people would rather chew glass than use their brains, and are perfectly willing to indenture themselves to anybody who will do their thinking for them.

That post led me to that conclusion. Others seem to have seen it as well. So you just repudiated it (I think) and it's on to the next thing.
