There are those people that want to be left alone,
and there are those people that refuse to leave others alone

Ping for a common sense, hence controversial, article.

While the premise of a limited government is to be hailed this writer is not correct in his break down of 'republican' factions or the ideologies.

I am a Right Wing Christian Conservative, I am also a Fiscal Conservative. I don’t hate gays or brown people. I am anti-abortion and anti- federal tax. I don't want to outlaw porn or guns. I don't want D.C. funding welfare or public schools or churches. I do support State and local control even if they want to display the Ten Commandments, a Buddhist bell or a statue of MLK. I am against the Drug War but not for legalizing pot across the board. (it should be a state and local issue).

This writer only wants to separate us so that we cannot work together on the issue we agree upon.

This is why I let all the "losertarian" comments roll off my back with good humor, but I'm quick to correct anyone who calls me a Republican.

Aye...
...Bump for freedom.

Do you recall my suggestion that many conservatives are conservatives simply from the "Leave me alone" drive? It's a year ago or more now.

Some people think it's a bad thing that Democrats have their hands in your pocket, tell you who you must associate with and all the other odious things Democrats stand for but at the same time think it's fine that Republicans want to have a say in your bedroom and in other private and personal issues that are none of their business.
