Rush says: “We don’t want to tell anybody how to live.
That’s up to you.
If you want to make the best of yourself, feel free.

If you want to ruin your life, we’ll try to stop it, but it’s a waste.”

This would be great, if true. However, the GOP has squandered billions and intruded on countless private lives via the failed drug war.

I also do not see the role of government in telling people what kind of family contracts they can engage in.

Rush supports both of these big government nanny state intrusions (except of course when he is a victim of the drug war and weasels his way out of it - his case is different somehow. Hmmm)

These are one of many reasons why the GOP is not conservative: they have a huge authoritarian nanny state streak.

We need a real small government party and movement-that advocates FREEDOM- now more than ever. Who will step up?

Conservatism is about happiness. When is the last time you heard a liberal talk about it? They all talk about how America's best days are behind her. I believe America's best days are yet to come!
