You’re confusing conservatism (limited government) with the libertarians who seem to think that they can get by with practically no government.

While Michelle Malkin is a good conservative, I believe she used police services numerous times when threats against her and her family were made. She also used the public highways to move numerous times as I recall.

Remember that true libertarian philosophy says that government shouldn’t be involved in so-called “victimless crimes”. We’ll see if the “liberated” people of Colorado Springs take up the legalization of drugs, prostitution and various other “victimless crimes” in the pursuit of “true liberty”; which anyone with a lick of common sense knows will only create MORE government.

Nonsense.

I lived there until 2003, and it's easily one of the most conservative communities in Colorado.

So using a public property or services you pay taxes for makes you somehow an imperfect conservative/libertarian? Dang! I guess we better bury the Republic now...all those Congresscritters keep meeting in that thar Capitol building!

Are you saying there is no prostitution now in Colorado Springs? Does making it illegal limit the role that government plays dealing with prostitution?

Think about it and get back to me.
