Eliminate overseas nation-building and foreign welfare aid.

Neither of which come from the DOD budget.

Stop diverting SS/Medicare funds to all sorts of Big Government boondoggles.

End the income and payroll taxes straight up.

Great, what about increases in capital gains taxes? Does Government then fund itself on duties and tariffs? How is that an acceptable expansion of Government?

Government should not be allowed to define what constitutes marriage.

Great, so marriage between Adam and Steve is no problem. Got it. I wonder how many conservatives would agree with you.

Federal, yes. State, depends on the State.

So conservatism/small Government only applies Federally; nothing about States or localities.

Well, since gluttony is bad, overeating should be prohibited and consumption of food by individuals should be regulated, with certain "bad" foods prohibited outright.

It's being advanced right now... Good luck finding certain fats and oils being used in New York City, Seattle, and a host of other localities.

And you didn't answer the question about criminalization of drugs. I take it you're for the legalization of drugs, then? No problem cooking meth, growing pot? Also legalization of prostitution, I assume, is OK with you?

Trite sayings are great for sloganeering, but they really aren't a platform...

And I have yet to see you define why Brown in a RINO and should not be supported, as you so strongly demand.

If Brown does not believe exactly as Rabscuttle believes, then Rabscuttle is against him.

Capital gains taxes are income taxes.

That's not what I said.

By allowing the Government to define marriage, you cede control over the definition to the Government, and therefore, whenever a faction that holds beliefs that you do not agree with gains power (as is the case now), they also gain the opportunity to re-define marriage.

I take it you're for the legalization of drugs, then? No problem cooking meth, growing pot?

Two things: one, what you do in your house and on your property is your business; and two, I don't like the Government treating me like a criminal just because I carry cash or buy cough medicine at the grocery store.

Also legalization of prostitution, I assume, is OK with you?

Considering we already have 535 whores on Capitol Hill, sure, why not?

Romneycare.

Support for a regional cap-and-trade initiative in New England.
