Judging by how big the government has gotten and how many ridiculous programs there... the fiscally conservative seems to be going the way of the dodo.

Are any other nations of this world fiscally conservative on similar terms to our own? I would imagine that most Americans would be fiscally conservative in comparison to the rest of the world, no matter how you looked at it.

I definitely subscribe to the western form of conservatism (rugged individualism, personal freedoom and small government) more than the southern variant (lots of religion thrown in)
Just like I prefer classic democrats (farmers and factory workers who need a voice in DC) rather than the current Deomcrat message (champion of the supposed opressed)

[/I]Sans[/I] is actually French, although it might've been lifted from Latin.

and yes, that is what I was saying when I said that "SJC" sounds roughly like "right-leaning libertarian".

and yeah, conservatives from the American West tend to be pretty much in line with me (with the two big Arizona names--McCain and Goldwater--coming immediately to mind).

[Middle English, from Old French, blend of Latin sine, without, and absenti, in the absence of, ablative of absentia, absence from absns, absent- present participle of abesse, to be away. See absent.]

So you're both right.
