I am not a conservative!

Libertarians
I’m getting tired of people accusing me of being a conservative. I am not. I am a Libertarian.
  • I am not opposed to gay marriage. I don’t think the government should be in the business of issuing marriage licenses to anybody.
  • I am in favor of ending the insane “Drug War.” Didn’t our country learn anything from the first time we tried prohibition?
  • I am in favor of lower taxes, abolishing the current income tax and replacing it with a fair tax.
  • I am a capitalist pig. We have too much government regulation and we need a lot less interference in our economy.
  • I was critical of many of the things George W. Bush did during his Presidency. (Medicare prescription drug coverage and No Child Left Behind just to name two.)
  • Criticizing Barack Hussein Obama‘s policies does not make one a conservative. I think Obama is as red as Chairman Mao and he’s taking our country in the wrong direction.
  • Listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio and watching FOX News does not make anyone a conservative.

I encourage everyone to take the World’s Smallest Political Quiz and see where you are on the political map. My political views place me at second base on the diamond.

That is usually one of the things the opposition party campaigns on. Can they still do that now? We’ll see.
