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

Exactly! Efficient government, not "small" government.

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

You realise it isn't 1806 now ....

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

Mmmhmm

You are aware social conservatives are welcome in this group

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?
