A believer in Free Speech and the Bill of Rights in exile. I have been a member of this site since 1999 under one username or another. I do not identify as a “Conservative” because to me that would mean that I want to keep most things as they are, and that is the last thing I want to do. More of a “Classical Liberal” to be accurate. I always approach each proposed solution to a problem with one question, and it is the most important one. “Does this course of action make us more free or less?” I will always err on the side of more freedom.
