I don't think there is going to be a need for links on this post, but I never know until I write it and have to back it up. One of the thinks we fail to do most often as conservatives or originalists or constitutionalist or libertarians or whatever is to fail to tell the rational portion of the left, the compassionate morons, that we have the same goals. "What?", you ask. We do. Honestly, I'm guessing you already know this, but no one is having the conversation. For example, health care. As I said before, I'll pay for someone else's care if they need it, but I won't force someone else to. Do I believe in the National Endowment for the Arts? I believe the Constitution establishes the power with the Congress to support the arts. I think it has gone horribly wrong. I think George Washington would probably challenge the guy who put a cross in a jar of urine to a duel and I'm guessing he'd win. Do we want to end homelessness? Of course, and we want them to have jobs and we'll donate to the shelters and the churches, but we don't want to force you to do it if you don't agree. We believe in taking care of our communities, but we don't believe in forcing someone else to do it. Our aims are similar, our methods different. Of course, our President's aims may be a bit more nefarious, so I won't comment in that regard.
