I'm libertarian. I tend to be more towards the conservative side of the spectrum on many issues, however, I feel the government is way over-extending it's limited powers. For instance, the war on drugs was lost a long time ago. When some of the most heavily guarded prisoners in the US get addicted to heroin, we need to change tactics. While not a user of drugs, I don't care if my neighbor smokes pot, and I think if taxed and regulated correctly would be a good source of income. I'm tired of the mis-appropriation of funds and the huge burocracies. Federal govt should only exist to the things that the local govt/communities can't do on their own. At least, imho.
