Here’s the litmus test:

What’s the proper role of government?

a) Protection of life, liberty, and property.
b) Providing for the needs of its citizens.
c) a & b
d) a & a little of b

If you answer anything but a!!!! and a!!!! alone,
you’re not a conservative, you’re a moderate cum liberal.

I’ll go along with A.

If you have (A), (B) will take care of itself. (B) should read.... provide for the defense of its citizens. We ALL have ‘needs’. That’s the never ending proposition were saddled with now.
