If you want to return to small limited government, then support the people who gave it to us, and who are fighting for it now, the conservatives, not the liberals and libertarians, they are the ones who took over in the 1960s.
Social liberalism creates, imports, and breeds, more democrat voters, and it even changes conservative voters and their offspring into ever more liberal voters, just look at how far left the nation has moved in 60 years, today, even conservatives are arguing about abortion and gay marriage, and a homosexual military, drugs, and porn, a weak military, and things that were inconceivable in the past.
I'm a freedom lover and a freedom fighter. I don't know what a "conservative" is. I'm not interested in labels like some are around here and I'm not interested in keeping the status quo. I'm interested in life, liberty, and the free pursuit of one's happiness however they choose as long as it doesn't interfere with some else's freedom. I'll support those who support freedom from government coercion. As I said, politically, everything else is chump change
