When it comes to matters concerning my family, I don't trust the government; I don't trust others; I only trust myself. I am the only one who will act in my and my family's best interest.
The older I get, the more to the right I move. There are 10 two letter words that make up the only real axiom in life: If it is to be, it is up to me. The government really only gets in the way when it works outside of what it is supposed to do.

I also distrust the government, which is why I think we need to make sure a Republican doesn't succeed Bush. I don't particularly like any of the Democrats (and as I've said, will likely vote 3rd party if Hillary is nominated), but we need to break the cycle. The crop of Republican candidates, other than Paul obviously, seem bent on continuing the terror hysterics with accompanying rights infringements.
I think that a certain amount of government intervention is necessary, but feel that Bush has been intervening in all the wrong places. I don't think anyone can make an honest argument that any of the Republican candidates would interfere any less than any of the democratic candidates; it's only a matter of where you prefer the interventions to be. |
