Less Government? How 'bout Less people.

Kind of tired of people pushing this message of government being the ultimate evil, this tyrant this awful thing. Well, I'm fairly sure that I like government far less than most of the people denouncing it.

There is a large population of Libertarians on Newsvine. This group makes up the majorety of the conservative thought here. I thought it would be interesting to find out what camp my Libertarian friends fall into in their policy beliefs.

Christians who vote are Christians who support murder, theft and slavery

Christ did not vote. He didn't. He didn't talk about voting, He didn't promote Christians to support government or Caesar. There is no reason to think He would have supported it.
