Some people think they're politically libertarian, when in all actuality, they're politically conservative. I'm a staunch fiscal conservative and believe tax reform and serious efforts to cut waste, fraud and absue in the federal bureaucracy are the major methods to get American back on a conservative track to fiscal responsiblity. That makes me a supporter of a smaller and less intrusive federal government. But I'm not a libertarian. I'm a conservative.
