Having a 'big' military for a big country raises no problem with me. - Favoring a big federal government for a union of big government states & localites is ludicrous.
and more than a few of us relatively big government in others, such as preserving the social safety net (although perhaps not quite as big as present, but still big). Deal with it.
I try to 'deal', but me flesh is weak. -- It crawls when you socialist welfare FReeks pretend to be conservatives.
You can say we are ersatz conservatives, but then a case can be made that perhaps you might be one, since preserving the social order (some might consder that a conservative tenet) is not a high priority for you.
I arguably spend more time discussing/defending the constitutional rule of law than most posters here at FR. -- That, imo, ~should~ be considered the highest "social order" subject.
That it is not tells the tale. At one point most here agreed that:
"Free Republic is a place for people to discuss our common goals regarding the restoration of our constitutionally limited republican form of government.
If people have other agendas for FR, I really wish they would take them elsewhere.

Needless to say, your ideology doesn't prevent you from cashing your excessive SSI checks each and every month. No doubt such unprincipled hypocrisy is easy for you to rationalize.
