Why I Lean Right...
People have slandered me and I need to set the record straight.
Most of my Facebook posts recently have been making fun of liberals and their policies. As a result I have been getting called everything from a "fascist" to a "closet Republican" (you know who said that one, dear wife). Now, to be honest, I have always said that if a gun was put to my head and I was FORCED to vote for anyone but the Libertarian Party candidates I would probably vote Republican, and there is a common sense reason; besides being shrill, Liberals are juggernauts who crush self-determination and individual freedom.
There are a lot of policies I dislike about conservative principles, the biggest being they are judgemental, rely too much on law enforcement to solve all problems and love putting our soldiers anywhere we can put up a base. But when a conservative law passes, it tends to be retractable. When liberal agendas pass, the course tends to be irreversible.
I (and the Cato Institute) felt that the Bush administration was a fear-mongering, citizen-spying, over-extending-police-powers fraternity. A bunch of chest-thumping bastards that took advantage of a shocked and not-so-bright congress to get the PATRIOT Act passed. But, as oppressive as that piece of legislation is, it CAN be repealed if our esteemed lawmakers ever get their head out of their ass.
On the flip side, the Obama administration has not only passed the incredibly onerous health care act, but government control of student loans AND banking. Once these balls really start rolling, there is no pulling back the reigns; entitlements never die, they just bankrupt the country. Furthermore, while Big Brother is out and about, sanctimony reigns. For instanced now the "health experts" are EVERYWHERE, telling us that "moderate" consumption of soda is ONE beverage A WEEK! You know what? These people will affect our life because they can "prove" too much Pepsi is causing health problems, ergo, it must be banned to keep government-run health care cheap. Well, not banned really, but taxed until no one will buy it anyway. Eventually liberals will find a way to show how dangerous bottled water is so that it can be taxed.
And the thing is, liberal representatives don't even help their own constituents....When was the last time Barney Frank moved any legislation in support of same-sex ANYTHING?! At least conservatives promote a gay lifestyle for Pete's sake!!
So there you have it. I DO lean right because those mistakes can be corrected. I can do nothing but mock an enclave that will not be happy until we are all the same...While at the same time promoting diversity...As long as anyone who makes any money can be wrung dry to pay for protecting us from ourselves. Simple, really!
