Lets get this straight once and for all. It is LIBERALS who are enslaving me 5 months per year. It is LIBERALS who demand I pay for abortions against my will. IT is LIBERALS who demand I buy art that turns my stomach. It is LIBERALS who want to tell me where I can live, what I can drive and to what purpose I can put my PRIVATE PROPERTY. It is LIBERALS who demand the exclusive right to fill my children's heads with LIBERAL BULLSHIT. LIBERALS are using the levers of government to invade every crack and crevice of my life. NOT CONSERVATIVES!!!!!

Excuse me, I thought it was understood that making moral demands involved the beneficiaries of government largesse. Since conservatives are not equivalent to libertarians, I can only say that we are for reducing the role of government for the most part, but that it depends on the issue. But the main thing in mind is the sort of thing practiced in twelve step groups, like acknowledging a higher power (however you conceive it), taking a moral inventory, making amends, and the like. Also, merely taking a certain attitude towards the recipients of aid, for example, expecting them to pull their weight by participating in the activities of the soup kitchen or shelter, helping to set up, serve, and straighten up, treating them as responsible and able to contribute, makes a large difference........
