We don't have scarce resources because we have too many people, we have scarce resources because too few people are being given control over them...

Curbing global warming? Sorry, but if that means a tax scheme to enrich a few climate-pushing billionaires count me out.

Conserving fossil fuels? This isn't for government to do. This is for us to do. We haven't decided to yet. But something you should know about fossil fuels: Nearly everything around you has oil in it at some stage of production, if not every stage, and the majority of components of those products are oil based as well. You tell me, how do you conserve in a situation like that without crashing the economy or creating artificial price spikes forcing even the poorest among us to pay more for their goods?

You've spent enough time on this site and have seen enough of my posts to know I don't advocate this kind of thing at all.
Let's try to be intellectually honest here ok?

Resource wars are started and fought by governments who are bought and paid for by corporations.

Understandable on the hot debate thing. I hold nothing against you.
One thing I think both of us can agree on is the influence of corporations on the government. What I don't like about modern conservatism is the penchant to defend indefensible practices by private industry. While I am a free market proponent, I do recognize that so long as their is corporate influence in government corruption will be the name of the game.

You'd be surprised the kinds of policies I would advocate as a Constitutionalist. I would LOVE to see universal health care...At the STATE level.

I support private and individual state education, but the DOE has got to go. They haven't done jack in the 50 or so years they've been around. We have the worlds worst ranked education system and every day we see examples of it's failures.

As far as globalism is concerned(as a typical left wing stance would be), no thanks.

I want to speak freely and I wants others to as well, especially the ones who offend me.
I want to own whatever guns or other means of self defense that I so choose.
I want to be secure in the knowledge that some government goon isn't listening to my phone conversations or reading my e-mails.
I don't want to be taxed to death by a war mongering government.
