If you believe you should keep more of your hard earned Atlasian Dollars
If you believe the government is overly in bed with big labor unions
If you believe a voice is a voice no matter how small
If you believe the regions should have greater influence on the wedge social issues
If you believe in Atlasian greatness at home and abroad


Then The Coolidge Society is for you. A place for conservative and libertarian Atlasians to come together to bring about the changes we desire for Atlasia. While we respect the Federalist Main Street folks we believe a conservatarian agenda is one for serious consideration

I'm still getting used to understanding Atlasia but this sounds like paradise.

The purpose is to bring conservatives, conservatarians, and libertarian Federalists together to discuss ways of improving the conservative/small government movement in Atlasia.

I really wish people would be focused on effective government, not "big" for the sake of it, or "small" for the sake of it.

We are for an efficient government. Yet we hold to the maxim attributed to President Thomas Jefferson
"That government is best which governs least."

Efficiency is great up to a point, but I'd much rather bad and oppressive laws be enforced in an inefficient manner.

Are you suggesting JCL is not a statist?

Why would that matter to me? My stances are antithetical to libertarianism. I believe in government intervention in the economy and labor unions as well as regulating social issues. Also, why are you a SoCon libertarian? Isn't being socially liberal a big part of being a libertarian?

Just because I'm pro-life and am for marriage as Holy Writ defines it doesn't mean I can't have socially liberal views.

And excluding marriage equality and reproductive rights... what other socially liberal views do you hold?

It depends on what the limits are defined as. Jbrase is rather socially conservative on a personal level, he just doesn't want the Gov't involved with enforcing a social structure.

Also old Libertas was a pro-life Libertarian, of course that was part of a fake persona by his own admission. Still you do have real life examples like the Pauls (Of course whether or not you consider one or both of Ron and Rand to be real libertarians is another matter as well).

While I am not sure about all the finer points, I am pro-life, I do agree regions should be more involved in social issues, would like to see taxes as low as practical.

I also said that I envisioned some overlap between the two groups (kind of like those who held membership in the Mainstreat Caucus and the RSC in the Republican Conference) and I planned to be one of those who did so.

So...
