That's cool, I agree with you. But usually when Righties say Government is too big, they talk about services like the EPA. When they talk about the EPA, they say things like their restrictions prevent job / business growth etc, therefore the Government is in your way / the government is too big.

Wow, I agree too! Way too much money is spent on the military, and too much money is lost on Tax loopholes for big business. GE for example, pays no tax, and big Oil actually gets Tax subsidies.

That might be too much, but yes I mostly agree. Even a 10 or 20% reduction in military spending would be cool. The US really needs the money and in my opinion this is a good place to get it.

Not at all! You are about to get another free beer from me.

I would hope that those of you with a modicum of intelligence would see that I am the furthest thing from a racist or a social conservative that a person could possibly be.
As far as the Libertarian party... I never thought about them until 2012.
I felt betrayed by the Republicans, and believed Obama when he said he was going to change things.
Now I feel betrayed by the Dems too.

Why do you feel betrayed by the dems?
When I read Gary Johnsons views, I realized that I agreed with him far more than anything that the Republicans or Democrats had to say. I felt that the 2 ruling parties were just gonna keep on doing the same things they've been doing all along.
Hasn't got anything to do with Obama being half black.
I do have a lot of black friends. And when we shoot the shit about politics they are not happy with what Obama is doing either.
Keep in mind that these are successful black men that I'm referring to.
Are there lots of white rednecks who are racist? Of course there are.
And there are also lots of black people who are racists as well.
I have no time for the white or black variety of racist people. They are all ignorant in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
High-five.
