The 'Liberal / Conservative' labels have 'jumped the shark'.

I thought being conservative meant limiting the control of government in our lives, and fostering personal responsibility for one's actions.

I see nothing truly conservative about the government telling people who to marry, what drugs to put into their bodies, what to watch on TV, or listen to on the radio. I don’t see anything too conservative about the extensive foreign adventures upon which we’ve embarked over the last few years. Massive government intrusion into our private lives through mechanisms like the PATRIOT act don’t seem too conservative to me either.

My friends who call themselves ‘conservative’ call me a liberal, but as far as I can tell, I'm far more conservative then many of them...
