Thread Name: Folk Songs for Conservatives
Subject: RE: Folk Songs for Conservatives
Kendall: tax dollars to support things I believe are destructive to the family and country.

BlueJay: lots of Republicans say they are conservative but they aren't. There often isn't a dime's difference between Republicans and Democrats. And when there is a difference, it's often not the direction they want to go--it's just the speed they want to travel.

I think in general my philosophy can be summed up: There's lots of things society can and should do. There are a few things government should and must do. I don't believe that society and government ought to be the same thing, but nowadays (i.e. for the last 70 years or so) government is taking over every function of society that it possibly can, and they hadn't oughtta do it!
