What’s a conservative to do?
As a conservative libertarian, what am I to do?
On one hand, we have the Socialist Democratic Party which is advocating having the government steal more of my paycheck in the form of tribute taxes. This is, of course, on top of the almost 30% of my pay the government is already taking. The Democratic Party is already waging war on my own personal belief system – the belief that everyone should be held accountable for his or her own life, and not beholden to the Mommy State to take care of his or her every need. Democrats even foster the belief that my personal property can be taken at the whim of a greedy State, or that my car can be towed so some politician can get his cut of the towing fees.
On the other hand, the Theocratic Republican Party is expanding government spending at a rate that makes Bill Clinton look like a miser on par with Ebeneezer Scrooge. In addition to the runaway spending, the government is bloating to a size of epic (and catastrophic) proportions. Legislation based upon religious ideals is being passed left and right, with no evidence of restraint. Judges are forcing parents to teach their children to follow “mainstream” religions (read: Christianity), or requiring people to either go to church or go to jail, and no one so much as yawns.
As a conservative, I want to see the Republican party go down in flames for betraying the most basic principles of conservativism. Unfortunately, this would allow the Democrats to assume power, and they’re just as bad.
