Florian--I am a fiscal conservative and a social progressive. Kind of the anti-Bush. If you haven't read this mornings column by George Will http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20101121/OPINION/101119410/1042?Title=WILL-Security-or-theater-Life-in-the-T-S-of-A- you should.

The points he makes about how bureaucracies expand and need to be trimmed periodically are not merely witty, but right on. But my biggest problem with the so-called conservatives in the Tea Party and this forum, are social conservatives, who are more interested in other people's religion and sexual behavior than with governing or looking for solutions. Government is certainly not efficient, but is sometimes needed to counterbalance the powerful but amoral instincts of business. Duh. I am pretty much at a loss to understand how the anti-liberty Church Ladies fromn Wassilla are actually considered conservatives--and why the Republicans abandoned their party to them.

The church ladies just don't want the Government controlling people - it's their job!

I guess you have to consider the source. Wink


Very funny. I post an opinion about a current event, and Im quickly flushed down ISO's toilet, even after he praised my "nice" pm to him.

Strikes me funny that the turkey with 7000 posts-from-the-porcelain-pulpit calls other’s contributions crap.
Iso’s raison d'être is to get everyone’s giblets in a grinder. True holiday spirit! Wink
