Another Reason Why I’m Not a Republican

Reason finds gays at CPAC:

Of course CPAC is not a REPUBLICAN convention, but a CONSERVATIVE one. Hey, I think all drugs should be legal, don’t really see any reason for the state to get involved in marriage of any sort, think you should be able to buy crew-served weapons at the corner convenience store (let’s face it, you can’t buy MP5s at 7-Eleven…how “convenient” are they, really?), and personally think taxes should be collected in a user-based system such as sales and property tax rather than income.

So let’s be honest, there’s not a lot about me that’s “Conservative” either.

Screw them, is what I say!

    My opinion? do you know why it is difficult to find LGBT at a conservative gathering?
    Because they don’t advertise it, they don’t make it their identity. They are conservatives, they believe in small government, etc — their sexual orientation isn’t the primary characteristic of their belief.

    And generally, despite the mainstream media pushing the idea, conservatives generally don’t care about an individual sexuality. What they care about is the values of society. Like you many don’t want the government getting involved, especially giving special status to yet another group of people.

    I disagree with the property tax as all that does is make you a renter in a home you supposedly own.

      Actually, you have a, typically, one year lease, with an automatic one year extension. That extension is only granted when your annual payment is accepted. If it’s not portable, and some level of .gov levies a regular tax on it, you don’t own it. You are merely charging the next lessee with a hefty transfer fee when you “sell” it.

      Whoever takes possession when a default of payment occurs, is the real owner.

    The moniker “conservative” largely fits those on the political right in this country because they seek to conserve the form of government intended by the founders.
