Me, and we have friends who are gay (and yes my landlord for my office is gay) and they are conservative. I believe in small government, and that means I don’t care what you eat or sleep with (if both are consenting adults) or smoke.

That is libertarian, not conservative.

Conservatism is the political position that seeks to preserve valuable processes and values. So, we do care about things like obesity, sexuality, alcoholism, theft, murder, homosexual marriage, etc.

That's why we bring it up. They all hurt the person, the community, or the culture. We are 'conserving' the values that have been handed down that say these things are harmful.

You are taking a more libertarian than conservative approach. Did you know that?

I really wish the libertarians would quit pretending that they belong here.
