Jesus! You really DO believe all that crap!
@sneakypete Conservatism is premised foremost on individuality - Rugged individualism. Standing on your own and making your own way.
I have not had an employer since my early 20s. I have always had my own businesses.
I have always fed myself, more or less, and my family.
If anything I am going back to that. Increasing my ability to stand on my own. Moving myself further - as far as I can - From the system, which I know is going to come crumbling down.
Conservatism 101. Rugged Individualism.
Part of living where I am - more than anywhere, except maybe AK, people here will fight for those libertarian ideals. Because we still can function individually. Because we can see that removing our own ability to fend for ourselves is the penultimate surrender.
The only master I will serve is not on this earth. And I serve him gratefully. To no other will I bend a knee - And that you think I should just shows how far the country has fallen.
Big Government is not your friend, ever. The government big enough to help you is big enough to enslave you - and it most certainly will.
