Sounds to me like you're a Libertarian. Supporting states rights, small government, low taxes, individual freedom (i.e. owning guns, and smoking pot), etc, etc.

Welcome to the Libertarian party. We throw good parties. I for one am glad to have you.

Love,
a long time fan (who sadly doesn't wear red toe-nail polish)

Beat by two before me. Rats.

Yes, you sound like a right-leaning libertarian. Which is probably why I enjoy reading you so much.

Reagan was a true conservative, unlike too many of the current (R) party, who are nothing more than moderate statists--the current White House occupant included.

What? You mean conservatives don't like to get nekkid?

Honestly I think people have a little from something on each side. I am a Republican but there are some things like you that I feel a little differently about than some Republicans. I'm sure there are probably some liberals who have a conservative view or two as well.

Definately a libertarian. In my eyes I am also a libertarian, and being a REAL libertarian, I don't belong to ANY party, including the LP, and vote for whoever I think will get the job done right, whether that be Democrat, Republican, or Mickey Fucking Mouse.

Amen!

"Conservative" has absorbed so much libertarian that it's not what many who have yet to catch up knee jerk expect it to be.

Meanwhile, "liberal" has absorbed control freak authoritarianism more and more, which is ironic. Yet not so much, since the primary source of freedom constricting and mass death causing movements and regimes has been the left rather than the right.

Been meaning to write some comprehensive post on this one day.

Yup, definite libertarian, just don't know it/won't admit it yet.
(BTW, uncapitalized libertarian means 'won't go along with ALL of the planks/policies of the The Offical National Libertarian Party (TM )'. But, you probably knew that.)

Ah, another Libertarian...

Excellent.

Libertarianism is anarchism in camouflage, premised on the idea that nobody is too stupid to live free.

Conservatism (classical liberalism) recognizes a correct role for government: that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

We've strayed far from that principle now. People can be forgiven for thinking that government as such is the problem; but in fact it's the wrong kind of government that plagues us.

If you revere the Constitution and the spirit of the Declaration, you're a conservative. Don't be distracted by anarchists or God-bothering busybodies.

Cheney Vows To Attack U.S. If Kerry Elected
GREENSBORO, NC—In an announcement that has alarmed voters across the nation, Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that he will personally attack the U.S. if Sen. John Kerry wins the next election.

"If the wrong man is elected in November, the nation will come under a devastating armed attack of an unimaginable magnitude, one planned and executed by none other than myself," Cheney said, speaking at a rally in Greensboro, NC. "When they go to the polls, Americans must weigh this fact and decide if our nation can ignore such a grave threat."
Added Cheney: "It would be a tragedy to suffer another attack on American soil, let alone one perpetrated by an enemy as well-organized and well-equipped as I am. My colleagues and I urge voters to keep their safety in mind when they go to the polls."
Although Cheney would not comment on the details of his proposed attack on a John Kerry-led U.S., national-security experts said he possesses both the capabilities and the motivation to pose a serious threat.
"There is no question that Cheney has the financial assets and intelligence needed to pose a threat to our nation," said Peter Bergen, terrorism researcher and author of Threats And Balances: Former Executive Branch Officials And The Danger To America. "After all, this fanatic can call upon the resources of both the Republican Party and Halliburton to aid him in his assault. America would be foolish not to take his warning seriously."
After his speech, Cheney was asked to confirm his remarks.
"Make no mistake: If Kerry becomes president, no one will be safe from me," Cheney told reporters. "Businesses, places of worship, schools, public parks: No place will offer you refuge. A vote for Kerry is a vote to die in your own bed at the hands of Dick Cheney."
Stepping up to the podium after Cheney, Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge vowed to increase surveillance of the vice president.
"Wherever Cheney is—whether in his office in the White House or stumping in battleground states—we will be watching him," Ridge said. "I will not rule out raising the terror-alert level, should Kerry begin to draw ahead in the polls. Every percentage point conceded to Kerry brings the nation under greater threat of attack by Cheney."
In a televised address from the White House, President Bush promised "to serve and protect the nation" by being re-elected.

Above: Cheney describes the threat he poses to the nation.
"A war against Dick Cheney would be a long, hard struggle," Bush said. "It would be a difficult battle against a shadowy nemesis who is able to hide among us, loves only death and destruction, and hates our freedom. I have the experience, the leadership, and the Republican nomination required to protect us all—myself and my family included—from Dick Cheney."
Although the effect of Cheney's remarks has yet to register in the polls, some voters report that the vice president's threats have concerned them.
"Frankly, I'm terrified," said Dwayne Cummings, a 38-year-old metal-press operator from Cleveland, OH. "The idea of getting attacked by Cheney right now, at a time when I'm out of work, uninsured, and have kids to worry about, is overwhelming. I'm not sure I can vote for Kerry anymore."
Mary Pershing, a loom-worker and lifelong Democrat from Limestone, KY, said she appreciates the government's surveillance efforts.
"At least they're warning us about the danger," Pershing said. "I've always suspected Cheney might do something dangerous someday. Now that we have confirmation of a possible attack—from someone as high-ranking as the vice president, no less—we can make moves to stop it."
Cheney's remarks quickly drew a response from the Kerry campaign.
"I urge all Americans to remain calm in the face of this new threat," Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards said. "Rest assured that, once elected, John Kerry has a plan to contend with any threat against our nation, whether from rogue nations, terrorists, or former vice presidents."
"Should John Kerry be elected, he and I will work with, not against, the international community," Edwards added. "I have no doubt that we would be able to assemble a coalition of nations more than willing to aid us in the war against Dick Cheney."

Alert! Don't let Dems silence this film! Bombshell 4 Dems!!

Stolen Honor is an expose on the "True Colors" of John Kerry.. It includes filmed testimony by Vietnam vets, who believe & insist that they were held longer, & tortured as a result of Kerry's public condemnation of them. There are clips on the website below to view.

Buy it, support it, but most importantly, spread the word about it to everyone you know.. The mass media has tried to hush it, & dems blackmailed the only company that had the nerve to show it.. Now they won't because their own extreme lefty share holders threatened to sell off their stock.
