[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Sam is a very nice guy whom I will choose over my other current choices, but many things about him disturb me. He is a compassionate conservative. He believes it is the government's job to clean up the messes people make of their lives. I strongly disagree. That idea always leads to socialism, and it is a denial of the core of human nature -- a sin nature. It is because of that nature that we must build a true freedom that leaves a strong connection between sowing and reaping, or cause and effect if you like that terminology better.

I will NOT vote for any candidate that supports the notion of top down, government directed social engineering. This is simultaneously an economic and a social issue and, in my eyes, is the defining issue of what in means to be a modern American conservative.
