Libertarian is the only political affiliation I claim these days. I hesitate to say that however because libertarians, both "big L" and "smalll l" tell me I can't be because of this and such.

Whatever.

I used to be a Republican in Reagan. But Reagan wouldn't recognize the party these days, I feel.

I am probably not as familiar with the SCOTUS opinions and terminology you are referring to as I should be. But at 48, I am still pretty young and don't have completely rigid political views (read: I could be wrong). I consider myself a simple soldier with some opinions about things.

And no, I am not a big fan of the New Deal and related programs. I think you have a right to starve in this country and that public assistance should be just that, and NOT a way of life. And I truly have a severe dislike for those who game the system.
