I guess you can say I'm conservative because I believe in a limited federal govt. Religiously, I believe there's a god and your relationship with him is personal so no one can save me except me. I believe in being responsible for my own actions. I sleep in the bed I make so to speak. I strongly believe the govt. can't legislate morality so I'm against the drug war, the new smoking ban, the abortion issue should be a state issue not a federal issue etc. Govt. should be as local as possible because how can washington know what is going on in my community?

I would classify Mr. Libertycaller as a true Libertarian. Reply...
LC, I am getting mixed signals. are you liberal or conservative, or wishywashy middle? Are you athiest, or believer... Do you believe in large or small gov?
Who are you really? :) Reply...
That's a good question. Money, finance, and economics aren't good topics and I myself only recently became interested. It looks like controversy and attacking character work pretty good in this forum but it's not something I like to do or do very well. Reply...

"but is making judgments about our policy decisions that would effectively be a takeover of monetary policy by the Congress" - B. Bernanke The U.S. Constitution already gives this power to congress. I think it's in Article I. so if this were the case, this power would be back where belongs. Reply...
"My concern about the legislation is that the GAO is auditing not only the operational aspects of our programs and details of the programs, but is making judgments about our policy decisions that would effectively be a takeover of monetary policy by the Congress, a repudiation of the independence of the Federal Reserve, which would be highly destructive to the stability of the financial system, the dollar and our national economic situation." - Ben Bernanke Chairman of the federal reserve
Congress only wants to take a look at your books, what harm could could that lead to?

"The few who can understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on it for favors that there will be no opposition from that class. While on the other hand, the great body of people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." - Rothschild Brothers of London Reply...

This is the most stupidist bill i have ever heard of! And those of you who dont smoke does not know the difference between lights, medium, and full!
There is a big difference in the taste and as well as the strength of the cigarrette!
I dont see them getting all gung ho about alcohaul!
Ever wonder why we are in the recession?? The reason why is because so many people have quit smoking therefor they have to up the taxes on everything else Just to pay for all of the construction that is going on in many different states!!!
KIds are going to smoke if they want too wether or not they have that education just like they drink and do drugs and have sex!!
Why is it that they are more concerned about smoking then the drugs that are out in this world or the drunk drivers??
37rye your statistics are highly falsified just like the statistics from the american cancer society!
Trust me they can not tell you even if 1 person died from cigarrette nor they can not tell you that 1 person died from second hand smoke!!
why because they times it by 100,000 and that is how they make their statistics!
Not only that there have been proven studies that certain foods that we eat everyday has carcinogens in them!
We breathe,eat and smell carcinogens everyday of our lives!
by what we clean our homes,cars and so with to the factories,cars and such that put out smoke and exhaust!
It is ok to say that you want to be healthy but then you have to take in to the fact that going outside or even staying in house is bad for our health!! and that there is no way to get past things that might kills us!
Do you think that the reason why people are getting cancer more and more is because of the nuclear testing that has happened ???? not just from korea but by other countries as well?? Reply...
I am for free enterprise, government has their hand in everything.
Where is the big tax on porn, sports cars, doughnuts, skydiving, abortions, or gay sex?? Reply...
