turtleneckjock saidYou know, it would be really nice to see the Log Cabin Republicans grow a pair, find their voice and start shouting down the ultra conservative tea baggers that infest their party.
If they were to do that and believe it is best to work with, instead of against the other side, we could really accomplish more.

I'd hate to see the Log Cabin Republicans duped into playing for their side and get fucked over, because I think there's a lot of truth to what they are saying.
Yet nobody gives a second thought to the fact that the "we love the gays" party (i.e. the Democrats) controlled Congress and the Presidency for 2 years (January 2009 - January 2011) and they didn't grant "we gays" the "gay marriage rights" that we constantly hear Democrat candidates promising to give us "should we vote for them and they get elected."
BeingThePhoenix saidOf course... Politicians don't care about Americans, as much as they care about their careers. If they did, we would be SOOOO much better off.

On the contrary, I shudder to imagine the country in which all politicians actually "cared". To see that terrible power on the Hill directed at its citizens for their own good... Better that they fritter away their time on nonsense.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Lostboy saidLarky,
Your "small government" leanings are disturbing.

Are you feeling the burden of government regulations in your kitchen, bath and garage?
Examples please.

In my kitchen: light bulbs, trans fats, sodium, fresh milk, 4Loko...
In my bathroom: low flow toilets, "water saving" showerheads, "efficient" appliances...
In my garage: fuel efficiency standards, Ethanol subsidies (also effects my kitchen), a range of market manipulations to prop up General Motors...
Larkin_PLR saidIt's a burden to flush a toilet 3 times (and waste twice as much water, btw) because the city ordinance forces you to basically install a broken one.
