V the K says in a comment on Gay Patriot:

I don’t want politicians to “court” me. I want to be left alone by government to live my life. Government should protect the borders and provide the national defense, and maybe a few other things. But everything a man can do for himself, a man should do for himself.

The political left has made a bargain that goes like this: “We’ll give you total freedom to do whatever you want to whoever you want in the bedroom, in exchange, you let us micromanage every aspect of life outside the bedroom. We’ll tell you what to eat, what to drive, hell, we’ll even dictate what kind of lightbulbs you can use. We’ll limit your economic freedom by raising your taxes as high as they’ll go. We’ll put in place affirmative action laws to decide who gets to go to school and who gets access to the best jobs. We’ll regulate what you can do with your own property to the point where ownership is meaningless, and with eminent domain, we’ll confiscate your property and give it to somebody else if they’ll pay more taxes. We’ll tell you what to think and if you don’t agree with us, we’ll call it hate speech and take away your right to say it. We’ll confiscate your means of self-defense and make you dependent on the state for that, too. When we run health care, we’ll tell you which doctor you can see and which one you can’t, we’ll even decide who lives and who dies. The only freedom we won’t infringe on is the freedom of terrorists to plot to kill you.”

That’s why I’m a Conservative. And not a moderate and not a Republican, because there’s plenty of them that feel more or less the same way as liberal lefties on the issues mentioned, including, regrettably, most of the front-runners for the GOP nomination.

What more need be said?
