Are you sure you're a Conservative? The only government jobs I support are those directly tied to an enumerated power of the Federal Government - like defense jobs.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is lobbying individual senators in a quest to secure what appears to be one more vote needed to legalize gay marriage in New York and deliver a major win for the national effort.
The Democrat met with three Republican senators in his Capitol office Thursday and plans to meet with more on Friday, the day Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos predicted his house would bring the bill to a floor vote.
The quietly-called meetings come as talks drag on, leading the Senate's Democratic leader to say Republicans are more concerned with protecting their majority.
Some advocates thought a gay marriage law could be enacted as early as Tuesday.
"The meetings are ongoing," said Cuomo spokesman Josh Vlasto, putting no end date to the closed-door sessions.
"I'm still a `no,' I'm still talking to people, so I'll let that speak for itself," said Republican Sen. Andrew Lanza of Staten Island after leaving Cuomo's office Thursday night.
He said he continues to seek further protections for religious groups opposed to gay marriage so they can't be prosecuted for discrimination if they refuse to allow their property or services to be used during gay marriage ceremonies.

Yes, I noticed finally.
Sorry, I’ve been watching Ronald Reagan telling jokes on YouTube because of a link that I got in my email this morning. I miss Ronnie a lot.

I confess that I also prefer the original, but I found the newer rendition to be quite creative.
They created a ‘right’ to murder the unborn, and they are rapidly working on making a ‘right’ to murder those ‘no longer productive’ in society under the guise of ‘right to die’.
The secular humanists see rights where none exist, and they want to destroy those that do exist.
He was probably just girding his loins for the next round with Grand Inquisitor Wagglebee. :)

Hadn’t paid much attention to the user tags earlier, am now leaving this discussion, for obvious reasons. I post here a bit and don’t wanta annoy the site owner. The conversation’s been interesting, and, loboinok, wagglebee, love those CAPITAL LETTERS on IMPORTANT WORDS. If we meet again on another thread, I’ll know when you REALLY mean it, eh?
Oh, and government jobs are worth less.
About 80% of all fedgov jobs could be eliminated tomorrow for the benefit of all.
Even the fired gov workers. They could start doing something useful, like maybe growing vegetables.
Must have been.
You can run but everyone, including the site owner, now knows that you are not a conservative. So you can mock but I'd bet you now post on borrowed time.
Perhaps he's actually contrite but fearful that we'll regard him as having fallen into line too quickly.
Ping! Start at post #68. :)
Lamh Foistenach Abu! They’re snide because they believe they got away with it. And they did. This time. The Boss is a very patient man and tries to give people a break. This posters snide bravado will be the breaking point eventually.
Time will tell. :)
Agreed.
1. It’s going to happen anyway.
2. The government should not be involved in this issue.
Concur.
And let’s legalize more drugs, and not just alcohol, nicotine, and white sugar, for the same reasons.

Heeellllllloooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is anybody home? If the government legalizes all those things, then it IS involved in them. The government is involved with them by default that way and all that does is open the door for MORE government interference and regulation. Legalizing something will NOT stop that.
I’ve noticed him before, and he was on the wrong side of whatever the topic was then, too.
The slave trade was banned as illegal in the United States in 1808.
More of that danged government interference there for you.
We can’t have that being illegal, now can we? After all, the government has no business being involved with moral issues and has no right to tell someone that they cannot own another human being.
I mean, really,.....
Follow this liberal *logic* (for a complete lack of a better term) and this is where it will get you. Are there any libertarians who support slavery? Hmmmm? Where are those champions of non-government interference in people’s personal lives?
