You are in the wrong forum. You want the DU, down the hall and to your left.

No he doesn't. Liberals are the ones who want the government to get involved in every aspect of our private lives, restricting our freedom "for our own good." Conservatives are the ones who want the government to butt out and leave us alone, to let us exercise our freedoms, to choose our own risks, and to do what we want unless we harm a nonconsenting other. Or at least that's the way it's supposed to be.

I wonder at what point all of this started swinging the other way. What many Conservatives support now, not just the WoD, but in general, were definitely not Conservative issues in the past...

Finally...someone who thinks like I do! IMHO,

Conservatism = less intrusive, smaller Government
Liberalism = more intrusive, larger Government

This is the barometer I use on EVERY decision (within reason), even when the issue is against the popular FR opinion. I've gone through a lot of asbestos underwear because of it!
