02/24/2007 | Taxation for the purpose of redistribution will always fail. The idea that government is best suited to make our choices and provide for us will always fail. Both taxes and large government lead to corruption and oppression.

07/30/2005 | First we don't need lower taxes because lower taxes are benefiting the top 1% of the nation's wealthy. Second of all, the country can't improve if you don't let the government do its job. Keep the government out of our personal lives and let them handle the business aspect of things. Government must do its job like regulating and enforcing rules on small and big businesses. Just don't allow the government tell you what you should or shouldn't do in your own home.

07/29/2005 |  . . .uh, hello? Anyone home? This is what I want but that 'conservative' as you call him in the White House is spending our money for his fabricated war in Iraq. Local taxes and federal taxes will directly or indirectly pay for this. Limited government? Limited government isn't making decisions about morality (abortion) and scientific advancement that will go on with or without American involvement (stem cells). Conservatives only want less government when they (like alleged 'liberals') look the other way or take the wrong stand on immigration and health care. You can't be for less gov't if you obsess about what women do with their bodies. You can't claim to be interested in less gov't involvement if you believe that a few queers marrying is cause for legal and social armeggedon. You can't claim you're for lower taxes and spending when you wave flags and spend money on yellow magnet stickers that support a war that our president clearly wanted after 9-11 despite evidence. I'd be more than happy to be a conservative on many issues. . .if they could just make up their minds about their concrete philosophy.

07/29/2005 | The Big #1. This country wasn't intended to be (nor should it become) the socialist welfare state that many people desire. The very nature of the origins of the U.S. is that it was a business outpost started by European entrepreneurs. The idea of overregulation and high taxation was anathema to them and is contrary to the principles which have built the U.S. into a superpower.
Capitalism flourishes where there is the least amount of government intervention.
National health care, after-school programs intended to baby sit the children of people who reproduce irresponsibly, midnight basketball, etc. etc. are simply not features of a society where people accept responsibility for their decisions and the consequences of those decisions.
People who are very quick to create expensive government programs (aside from National Defence which is specifically mentioned in the Federal Constitution) just don't understand what this country is about.

07/29/2005 | People like me have no where to turn either, EO. I agree wholeheartedly... I hate to say it, but could balance of power be a required characteristic for fiscal discipline? With nobody wanting to be labeled as a traitor to the party (e.g. Mccain), a a Republican House, Republican Senate, and Big Gov GWB are out of control in their spending habits. Nobody has the guts to remind people what fiscal conservatism means. You'd like to think that folks could learn to spend within the constraints of what funds are available (and because govt is not nearly as efficient as private enterprise), but that just doesn't seem to be the case.

07/29/2005 | People like me have nowhere to turn these days. The current crop of RINO's are as drunk with power as the democrats were for 40 years, capitalizing on the largesse of the federal government's ability to allow them to play Santa Claus to their constituents at home, you know, the people who elect (and re-elect) them. Spending other peoples' money is an irresistable power trip and few can rise above it.
