We ARE your feared:
Fire-breathing, right-wing, hard-charging, gun-toting, opinionated, outspoken, rabble-rousing, letter-writing, radio microphone stomping, Conservatives and Rational Libertarians!
We take on all Progressives, Liberals, Moderates, and Squishy Republicans and fly to the aid of rock-ribbed freedom-loving and liberty-seeking/leaning folk anywhere!
What this all means in plain language is that we are Constitutional Conservatives, Libertarians, and Conservatarians. We want to conserve the limitations placed on government by the Constitution. If you line up to defend those limitations, we might applaud that if it catches our eye. If you attack or undermine those principles, you might get a trip to the rhetorical woodshed. It’s just that simple.
