In my book, being a conservative, is being opposed to everything that has happened since the 1930`s. I oppose everything from FDR`s New Deal socialism, to LBJ`s Great Society liberalism, to Clinton's "I Feel Your Pain" liarism.

I agree with this. I've made the point in other threads, but it was the conservative Republicans who opposed the MJ Tax Act on the grounds it was unConstitutional. Nowadays there are people like yourself who call themselves conservative and go along with the socialist foolishness.

The GOPers who opposed FDR were right then, and their ideas are still true today. IMHO, one of the more constructive things we can do is encourage the President to appoint Clarence Thomas clones to the Supreme Court; I think he thinks like a New Deal-era conservative.

Opposing the legalization of illicit drugs, such as cocaine, heroin and marijuana, doesn't make me a socialist. Supporting government restrictions over these harmful substances, doesn't make me a socialist either. Your argument is hollow and has no basis in factual truth. Law abiding citizens/societies have every right to restrict personal behavior of individuals, that they deem harmful to society at large. You may consider that socialism, but you'd be wrong. Its law and order that reigns supreme in a civilized society and not chaos and anarchy.

On that, we can agree. Clarence Thomas is a great American and a fine SC Justice.
