And most are, I'm sure to the dismay of liberals who'd like to pigeonhole them, more libertarian than anything else. Sure, they're anti-war/pro-peace. But they're not pro-"fairness." They don't give a shit about those liberal fantasies. They just want to be left alone to do what they want to do -- "lifestyle entrepreneurs" of a sort.

Re the other thing, the Democrats are playing their hand well. But that has nothing to do with me calling you silly for stating the obviously technically correct, yet absurd and pointless fact that yes, we could balance the budget with tax increases alone.

I called you a hippie-basher because you were calling lefties "delusional" for saying things that are true, if unpopular with conservatives.
