I suppose I'm a fiscal conservative, and am nearly completely apathetic to social issues but I am very sensitive to respecting tradition and traditional values. I also believe that minimal government is good government.
However I am in favor of programs which can help our least fortunate by I believe that intensive steps should be taken to assure that those crutches never become full blown prosthetics.
And finally, like Steve, I have a deeply held belief that people should not be protected from the consequences of their own poor decision making.
