I agree DariusBane---as a "Hippie Type" that goes around county and state fairs selling incense and tie dye--conservatism to me is small federal government and even smaller state government. Certain laws and regulations are need to keep society moving smoothly and so that we don't eat poisoned meat or drink funky water.

Liberty is what I want. The freedom to pursue my happenstance. I also want a certain amount of law and order to keep the rogue elements of society from roaming at large.

But, the police state that has been constructed here in this very United States is something that is to be fought against at all levels. How us fellow freedom loving freepers will continue to exist in this march to totalitarianism is beyond me.

If your selling tie dye, that’s reason enough for some of these clowns to encourage a police beat down on you!

Not a lot of compassion. I was shocked the first time I heard the term “ferrel humans” as a justification for a police beat down. I don’t get these people. As soon as the definition of ferrel human changes, or the people defining who a Ferrel human is, they could be the ones being beaten down. Myopic.
