the day a liberal realizes the government is not comprised of sets of well meaning rational actors is the day they get a clue.

I can play this game too! You should maybe try one day a week where you don't act like a condescending prick. You might find it liberating.

Why a liberal? Conservatives also believe in government.

Actually, I think the idea is that conservatives are distrustful of government and are keen to limit its power and influence in their lives.

[guelo]

Conservatives want more government when it comes to the military, the drug war, opposing abortion, restricting civil liberties (everything the ACLU does), "tough on crime" laws, immigration, Israel...

[chrismcbride]

Conservatives don't want that stuff, republicans do

[guelo]

There is supposed to be a difference between libertarians and conservatives.

unless the head honcho is wearing a jesus t-shirt. Sorry, I don't actually mean to be so snarky, I just hate democracy so much.
