You can't say that and keep Grover Norquist as a standard-bearer and treat "starve the beast" as a legitimate governing philosophy...

- weberc2 8y agoI don't know any conservatives who consider Norquist a standard-bearer. And there's no dichotomy between believing some taxes are necessary and believing the current tax levels are excessive. 'Taxation is theft' is fringe libertarianism; 'taxation in moderation' probably does a good job of representing the budget hawk position (and not all conservatives are budget hawks!).
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoWhy do you think Grover Norquist is a standard bearer for weberc2? You seem to be willing to lump all conservatives together, but not willing to listen at all...
- weberc2 8y agoI’m not even a conservative :) Just a fan of honest dialog and intellectual consistency.
