re: #68 HappyWarrior
I am not sure. I just think it’s funny that the people who bellyache the most about “big government” are the same people who think any defense cuts will cripple the military, want more money on prisons, and are okay with punishing marijuana users because remember the drug war escalated under Reagan.
Part of what makes that funny, though, is the fact that it’s not consistent and they seem unable to reconcile that. It doesn’t seem to matter to them that it’s not.
Whereas it is funny to us because we can see the inconsistency.
I can at least respect the (real) libertarians for being consistent, even if I think their view of society and the role government is supposed to play is flawed. Conservatives are just …nuts.
