Understand - my principles are conservative, in the sense of what conservatism should really represent. I don't care who anyone fucks, or marries, or what they smoke or drink or stuff up their noses, asses, vaginas, or veins.
What I know is that the government should stay out of our personal lives, and out of our wallets. The more money I have in my wallet, the more I'm gonna spend on cigars, and the more I'm gonna spend on parts for my Harley, and the more I'm gonna spend on my house. And that puts a lot of people in business. And the more cigars there are in my humidor, the more I'm gonna want to up and ship a box out to Steve, or Ken, or JR. The more I have in my wallet, the more I'm going to be willing to kick out to the homeless guy on the street, or my unemployed neighbor, or my church. The more I have in my wallet, the more likely I am to indulge my wife's sentiments that we should maybe adopt some troubled kid. The more I have in my wallet, the more I'll spend on firearms training so that I can dispatch the sumbitch who feels the need to splatter people's blood or steal their cash. That makes the world a better place.
But when Obama starts sticking his hands in my wallet, I turn into a tightwad. That makes the world worse off.
That's the kind of conservative I am.
