Yes, I know. In my party, when I say "Lets take our country back" this is precisely WHO I want to take it back from. I also recognize it will negatively impact a huge number of jobs. But you can't "cut" 25% of our national budget without some very difficult and unpopular choices.

When and if a legitimate "conservative" party ever re-emerges, and they start talking sense about these issues, I'll support them. In the mean time, I'm a man without a party.
