we got swat teams raiding peoples homes for small personal amounts of pot.

we got swat teams raiding peoples homes for making their own liquor.

we got swat teams raiding peoples homes for possessing tax free cigarettes.

we got swat teams raiding peoples homes just because they can.

and now, they are raiding peoples homes for fresh, unpasteurized milk.

the war on drugs, the war on alcohol, the war on tobacco, and now the war on milk.

this is why I left the conservative movement, and became a small l libertarian. The constitution, as written, is the only way out of this madness.

Exactly.

I didn't leave the conservative movement. It fragmented, hyphenated, and has become virtually meaningless with more 'exceptional' variations. (Those who are conservative, except...).

In short, it left me.

When the likes of Mitt Romney and Chris Christie can be described as 'conservative', the word has meaning only next to totalitarianism for contrast, and more and more, the similarities are striking.
