A perfect opportunity to chase off our fellow conservatives.

Who needs 'em?

If libertarians are conservatives I must be something else.

Depending on how much you want the cops to reflect your idea of good moral choices, you might be something else. Janet Reno thinks of herself as highly moral, and found it perfectly normal to project her morality into public policy. Unless you are very confident that only right and reasonable people will prevail in politics, you might want to choose a more restrained public sector instead.

John Ashcroft is surely worlds better than Janet Reno, and views himself as something of a Bible wonk. Do you trust him with every power he wants to acquire through the Partiot Act and Patriot II? Will you trust his successors, too?
