    It works both ways

    "We've got a lot of people in this country who want to lead their individual lives, they want to be left alone by the government, and they call themselves conservative Republicans"

    You want government to leave you alone? Well why don't you leave government alone? Really. Stop using the GOP to attack other peoples' rights because they don’t reflect your own values. Stop pulling political strings to shred the constitution because you don't like what it says. And while you're at it, stay out of our bedrooms, our schools, our libraries. Keep your hands off our bodies. Hey, by all means, attend your silly church and cherry pick the parts of scripture that reinforce your pettiness, hatred, and intolerance. That's your right; knock yourself out. Just please go away from the political landscape, and maybe the government will return the favor.
