I worry about a person who says they are a conservative who wants to use the government to TAX behavior that they do not agree with. These same people probably have no problem with the government only taxing cigarette smokers to pay for kids healthcare. How freakin’ damn conservative is that? Someone may not like smokin’, but why are they are okay with that?

WTF? What the heck are we doing here? Maybe I an more of a liberatian.

Geesh, this stuff is unreal.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

And it isn't just the smoking issue where you'll find a fair enough number of self-professed conservatives suddenly having orgasms over the prospect of taxing something they despise.

Maybe you am. Lower-case "l," of course. And if you am, I for one would welcome you with open arms.
