I hear a lot about "conservatives" and "liberals". Well I've figured out what "liberal" means. It's basically this; someone who wants everyone to be able to do and have anything they want and the Government should pay for it.
What I don't understand are "conservatives". They say they want smaller government and they don't want the government to be involved in our lives. On the other hand, they are the first ones to tell someone else what they "can't" do. Something like "I don't want the government to tell me how to live my life, but I don't want YOU to be able to use marijuana to ease your pain, so let's keep it illegal."
How can you have it both ways?
I must be a conservative liberal or something, because I don't believe in everything either has to say... ;D
