The Strange Case of Councilman Green and the Comal County Fair AssociationOn the heels of last week’s piece in support of District Two Councilwoman Aja Edwards’ personal efforts to develop a support program for LGBT youth, we’re going to dive right into race issues. It’s a civil rights double shot, y’all, with all of the accompanying hazards for your faithful writer. You see, writing about race is like defusing a bomb. I make one move based on a bad assumption and the whole thing will blow up in my face. Right in it. Fortunately, I’m used to the risks, and people like to watch a man walk a tightrope. With a bomb.
On Tuesday, September 23, I received the following text from District One Councilman George Green: “News Flash - Comal County Fair Association denies City Councilman George Green entry”. That got my attention. He then requested that TX Citizen staff accompany him to the Fair the following Friday and Saturday. The next text that came through read, in part, “Please Recall the contract between the City and CCFA”. Holy cripes! Hardball.
Green went on to explain, via the same text, that he was told of a code violation at the Fairgrounds on Friday, September 19, but the following day was denied entry to the parking area where it occurred (an area he said he had been using for the past 50 years). He went on to detail how he was born and raised here, how he is the first African-American City Councilman in New Braunfels’ history, and how he’s “dealing with the same mind set as the 60’s and 70’s in NB today in 2014”, at which point it became clear where this was going. I was being handed a live bomb.
We didn’t attend the Fair with Green the next weekend, but that Friday night, (September 26), I received yet another text from him, reading “The CCFA ordered me to leave an area because it’s a restricted area for rodeo contestants. I’ve been going to that area for years.” If you’re wondering what I was thinking, it was this: Logistics and personnel change over time, and with them, so do the rules. This didn’t look like Green was being singled out.
Green went on to let me know he had been in touch with both a private and Texas Municipal League attorney regarding the lease agreement between the City and the Fair Association, and that “The consensus was I have every right to be anywhere on the property since I’m a city official.” This was getting real - real fast.
After another message which included references to a past when “black and brown people (were) not allowed to drink out of the water fountain on the Plaza”, and the present, with both local
school district’s decision to not close for Martin Luther King, Jr
Day, and the “first elected African-American City Official in 170 years denied
entry to it’s (the City’s) own city property”, I agreed to meet with him. After all, that thing with the lease might have had legs.
After talking with a variety of people over the next few days, I decided to drop the story, because Green has a reputation for “Don’t you know who I am?” behavior around town, and this was looking like more of the same. A story with no substance in which Green was going to end up with egg on his face for complaining about being denied a measure of respect he believed he deserved, justified or not. Before I rake a politician over the coals, which is kind of my thing, somebody was going to have to really go past the line - I’m not going to kick the guy over what I, a white guy who’s never experienced a quantum of racial animus, sees as a non-issue.
It’s important to keep in mind that regardless of today’s situation, Green actually lived through a time when it was way less fun to be a black man in Texas. The fact remains, however, that if I’m going to back up charges of racism made in this column, I’ll need hard evidence. That evidence never materialized, but on Monday, October 13, Green took two firm, official steps over the aforementioned line when he demanded Council vote on an audit of the Fair Association’s contract with the City.
The Fair Association was at the meeting and came out swinging, with Past-President Arlon Hermes outright making the charge that the proposed audit had no legitimate basis and was purely retaliatory in nature, prompted by the Fair’s refusal to let Green park in a restricted area. As it turned out, prior to Green’s demand for the audit, two separate City inspections were carried out, on his behalf, on the electrical work that he was concerned with, and both ruled the work in compliance. City Building Honcho, Bob “The Builder” Kinsey, dang near lost it while explaining to Green that the work that was being done, a fixture replacement that one might do at home, did not require a licensed electrician to carry out. Snap.

Continued from page 3.Then Mayor (and Eighth Wonder of the
World) Barron Casteel got into it. Honest to gods, my jaw dropped as Casteel chastised Green with what might be considered the greatest display of diplomacy since Nixon went to China. Here’s Casteel conversing with Psychic City Attorney and “You know” enthusiast Madame Val Acevado during the meeting:
Mayor Casteel: “I have a question, and I don’t mean to interrupt Councilman Green, so if I’m interrupting you, tell me, because I wanted to ask the City Attorney a question.
(To City Attorney Acevado) I want to ask you a question. Not putting you on the spot. If I, as Mayor, or any of the Council members on this dais, decided to go out and do some inspection at any location, we’re now doing that outside the scope of our authority. I’m not a licensed inspector. Neither is any member of this… not for the City, I’m not your City Inspector, nor am I your City Attorney. When I step out of my role as Mayor, or Councilperson, that’s a dangerous problem for us, correct? You’ve told me, or we’ve talked about some of this.”
Madame Acevado: “Right. You know, I mean, a lot of times, a Councilperson is elected to do certain things within his or her district, so they, you know, do a lot of, you know, inspecting in their neighborhoods. If you have a constituent complaining about something, you know, the Councilmember will go, as a guest, not as a trespasser certainly. They don’t have any other rights different than any other citizen to be on that particular property, you know.
“Any job of inspector or inspecting, if they’re going into, uh, maybe, you know, um, private property to inspect something, make sure something’s up to code. At that point, they could be in danger, uh, you know, um, of being harmed themselves, and, uh, you know, possibly being tres… being trespassed themselves, a trespasser on private property. Um, as a Councilperson, you can again certainly explain to them, ‘Oh, I’m just here because I have a complaint about flooding, from some people down the street’. And if they want to let you in to take a look, then, then, you know, you’re more than welcome to, as a Councilperson. But you do not have a right of entry, or anything like that, any more than I would.”
Casteel: “And the same would ring true, the Fair Association has a lease, I think the first option ends in 2015, the other one in 2084. It is their property”
Acevedo: “Yes.”Casteel: “Regardless whether or not the
City has ownership, it is their property under that leasehold interest. And if they said, ‘No, Mr. Casteel, you’re not allowed to come in

Acevedo: “Yes.”Casteel: “Regardless whether or not the
City has ownership, it is their property under that leasehold interest. And if they said, ‘No, Mr. Casteel, you’re not allowed to come in
and do this’ or ‘You may not drive on this’, they have certain rules. Whether I find that to be offensive or not, that is their ability to make that choice. And so, at that point, I depart from my ability to investigate?”
Acevado: “Yes, sir. They could certainly welcome you on. They could certainly, if they have their rules in place, um, you know, and they…”
Casteel: “I have to abide by those rules.”Acevado: “Yes, sir. You wouldn’t have the
right to enter. Neither would the City Manager. Uh, but our Inspectors certainly would under color of the ordinance. It gives them authority to be there to conduct certain inspections. As we heard from the Building Official, we’ve never been denied access, uh, when requested, to enter upon, regardless of the time of day.”
The way Barron navigated that minefield was epic. Everyone got the message, and Green was permitted to keep his dignity. Very well done. I’m starting to love this guy. #mancrush
In the end, Council voted against the audit, with Green contributing the sole “aye” to the roll. As for the Fair Association, well, they were just getting started.
Here Comes the PainOn Wednesday, October 15, I got a request from a member of the Fair Association to attend their meeting later that night. I already knew that the Association was considering an ethics grievance against Green, as Hermes announced that possibility before Council, and whether or not that was going to be a thing was to be announced at this meeting.
First of all, let me say this: If I ever harbored any doubt about there being two New Braunfels, it was blown to bits at that meeting. It’s clear that there are Fair people, and then there are Wurstfest people. Wurstfest people wear whimsical costumes and take group vacations to Germany and are very, very secretive about what goes on behind Wurstfest doors. Fair people wear blue jeans and feed caps and clearly do physical work for a living. I don’t belong in either group. Maybe there are three New Braunfels. Wurstfest people, Fair people, and, um, “other” – the third group consisting of those that don’t own leather pants, refuse to lift things, and burn bridges for a living.
Anyway, after some formalities, it was announced that yes, the Association would indeed be filing a complaint with the City’s Ethics Commission, with an eye toward censuring Green, or whatever it is that an ethics board in Texas’ Most Corrupt City™ can be expected to do. But that’s not all. They’ve sent their grievance up to America’s Hottest District Attorney™, Jennifer Tharp, with the intent of having criminal charges filed against Green on some kind of abuse of power basis.
Association President Warren Montague told me that should Tharp decline the case, they have a Plan B ready to go, in which they’ll file a complaint with New Braunfels Police, which the Fair hopes will trigger an investigation by Texas Rangers - although that might be a tough row to hoe should Tharp opt out. They could also petition the Texas Ethics Commission. This is all going to get very, very confusing in the coming weeks. Should be a barn burner.
What we know for sure:1) Green told us that the Association
denied him entry. This was not true.2) Green reported the Fair to the City for
code violation conditions which did not exist.3) Green called for our support of the
revocation of the contract between the City and the Fair without legitimate cause.
4) Green officially demanded an audit of the Association, again without cause.
5) The Fair Association is taking this very seriously.
6) Green is, in general, a very nice person, but he ###### up on this one.
The horrible part of all of this is that both Green and the Fair have endured years of abuse from people in power. Green grew up in a time when blacks were treated so poorly that I still can’t believe the entire country didn’t suffer a violent revolution, and the Fair has had to put up with various Council members trying to stick it to them for decades. The now-deceased District Four rep Robert Kendrick and still-alive, former District Six rep Juliet Watson before him come to mind. Green had it worse, but that’s not going to fly if this thing winds up in court.

Fun Fact: I wrote the first draft of this article while on a road trip, at the Waffle House in Vidor, TX. The name of the town sounded familiar, so I asked the waitress what they were famous for:
Waitress: “Hash browns, mostly”.Me: “No, I mean the town. I’ve heard of
Vidor but I don’t remember why.”Waitress: “Oh. I don’t know. I’m from
Beaumont.”Me: “Of course you are.” (That much was
clear from the condition of her teeth.)
So I Googled “Vidor, TX”. The irony of writing this, in the middle of there, wasn’t lost on me. What a world.

When I was 10 years old, my parents took me to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. In the main lobby of the museum, there was a large sculpture made of various ribbons of metal. Initially, I couldn’t quite figure out what the thing was. After some minutes, with sudden clarity, I saw that it was a person piloting a kayak.
That was an extremely important moment for me because, for the first time, I realized that art didn’t have to be just beautiful, it could be weird, snazzy and full of play. That metal sculpture increased the landscape I used to demarcate the definitions of art.
Since then, I have seen many more pieces of metal sculptures – some brilliant, some dreadful. The problem with metal sculpting is that it all too often comes in one of two forms:
The first is the Implosive Mess, which is just a bunch of metal detritus stuck to more metal detritus. The Implosive Mess makes art sad. The pieces of metal, once discarded, are happy to find themselves useful once again, until they see the disturbing mutation they have become. When walking past the sculpture, it grabs your shirt, begging you to pick up a sledgehammer and bring it sweet release.
The second unfortunate form is Rustic Crap. These are a variety of brown metal pieces stuck together to reflect a past our ancestors worked so hard to get away from. These pieces often have razor-sharp edges that lacerate dogs and children.
Luckily, though, I have just discovered Scott Rolfe, an Austin artist who has restored my floundering faith in metal sculpting. Rolfe’s work, like the kayak sculpture, is fun, which is one of the most important and often overlooked
requirements of great art. To top it off, Rolfe’s pieces are also quite beautiful to look at.
Because of his use of divergent ingredients, Rolfe’s work is truly surreal. He combines a number of elements to put a project together, things that have little relationship to one another outside the piece.
His series of post office boxes best defines the Rolfe’s sense of play. The artist constructed his pieces from the doors of old post office boxes, often with a small animal poking through the slot. The effect creates a three-dimensional appearance upon an already three-dimensional background. Instead of mail, you get a small horse or elephant exiting the slot, as if your post office box has taken on an inexplicable and bizarre life of its own.
Rolfe often utilizes animals in his themes, such as a collection of pieces relating to various fables from Aesop or his Native American trickster series.
“I have often wondered why I like to use animals,” he said. “I make more animal themes than I do human. When I was a kid, I would draw animals all the time, and it just continued. There’s something about their expressions I’m really drawn to.”
Rolfe said that some of his fascination for animals may come from the idea that there is more to the animal than just what we perceive.
“The trickster series are based on Native American ideas that animals, such as the raven, are spirits,” the artist said. “The Native Americans believed everything had an animist spirit, especially animals. Each one had its own personality and power.”
Still, don’t misconstrue Rolfe’s creative intent. He is an artist and, as such, the priority is on creating something that, well, looks good.
“I’ve often found that if I try to assign some philosophical explanation before I start a piece, that’s probably the kiss of death for it,” he said. “Your conscious mind is steering it too much when you should just be giving it a rest and let the unconscious take over. Later on, after the piece is done, I might start to see the meaning behind it. But when I’m working on it, I’m just hoping it looks nice and everything’s balanced.”
His heart series is a solid example of this view. Rolfe constructed a series of hearts made from a variety of objects: wrenches, gears, filigree, screws and more besides. He uses just a dash of paint, usually a pastel color, which adds a visually pleasing touch. The use of color on such objects is a tricky business because use too much, and the artwork gets overpowered by the color.
“I’ve cursed myself sometimes when I over-paint,” Rolfe said. “With gobs of paint, the details get lost. I try to have a balance so I can accent the object. This way, I can tell the story of the piece.”
With his heart and post office box series, Rolfe said he allows the medium to dictate the form.
“Usually, I go to junk yards or thrift stores, wherever I can find junk,” he said. “I’ll find certain shapes that will remind me of something, say bat wings for example. Then I will construct the piece around those key parts.”
The next step is to fit and join the pieces together into a whole. In a sense, Rolfe’s
constructions are like an Impressionist painting: up close they are bits and pieces but step a few feet back, and they come together cohesively.
“I’ve gotten very creative in the way I attach things,” he said. “If the pieces can be attached by something permanent, like a screw or nail, that’s what I will do first. Then I will use adhesive, like JB Weld or glue. I just try think of ways to make the piece stay together for years to come.”
However, it is the construction of the piece that defines the work, the in-and-of-itself of the art. Thus, the construction is the most important and complex process.
“Looking for the parts is fun, but the most tedious part can also be the scariest,” Rolfe said. “Let’s say I have to attach two things together but I need just the right-sized screw so they will hold together properly, I will have to cut or shave off parts of one of the objects. If I cut anything too short, then I will screw it up. It can be both tedious and harrowing.”
Rolfe’s work can be viewed and purchased at Traveling Art in Gruene Lake Village. Besides Rolfe, Traveling Art also has for sale a number of intriguing pieces by other area artists.
You can also look at more of Rolfe’s pieces on his website, srolfe.com, or on his Facebook page, scottrolfeart. You can email the artist at [email protected], or call him at 512-453-8752.
If you choose to buy one of Rolfe’s pieces (they are at various prices), it will be money well spent. His work isn’t the kind of art you hide in the darkest corner of the basement under old carpets lest you make eye contact with it. The benefit of owning one Scott Rolfe’s works is that it will remain interesting and attractive, so you can display it with confidence.

Dear Karl: If a homeowner or realtor advertises a house or property listing “Private Island Privileges with access to Comal River” as an asset to induce someone to purchase that property, would they be committing fraud?
Or would these benefits of ownership be as benign as if I offered to sell my NB home and listed Port Aransas privileges with access to the Gulf of Mexico and the Intercoastal Waterway?
Don Talley Dear Don:Truthfully, you may very well be able to
sell “private” privileges to the coast from your New Braunfels home, and you can certainly get away with it as long as someone is dumb enough to pay for such privileges.
The key terms here in regard to the Forbidden Island are “private” and “exclusive.” You can tout access to the coast because everyone has access to the coast no matter how many times the word “private” is used in the contract.
In the same fashion, you could tout access to the street in front of your house. If you put in terms like “private” and “exclusive,” you are actually insinuating that the public street in front of your home is private. This is clearly a lie and saying the street is private doesn’t make it so. So, the buyer can stand in the “private” street, rant and rave at people who walk past, and call the cops. The difference here is that unlike on the Island, the police certainly won’t support this point of view.
Those who still hold that they have “exclusive” Forbidden Island access show the same kind of tenacious ignorance that believes:
1). The moon landing was a hoax.2). Dinosaurs never actually existed
and fossils were put there by the devil just to confuse us into believing the world wasn’t created only 36 years ago.
3). If you didn’t do anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.
4). The creepy neighbor who likes to dig in his backyard late at night, “just prefers to keep to himself.”
All of these are lies, but for the people
who believe them, no amount of evidence will make any difference. This is especially true for the denizens of the Forbidden Island area.
In a way, it’s hard to blame them. They paid for “vapor-estate” and no one wants to admit to being a rube.
Liebe, Karl I have lived in New Braunfels for
five years now, and there are still times that driving here frightens me. It seems to me that many drivers here always think they have the right of way in any situation.
Marcus Dear Marcus:While I certainly have seen worse driving
elsewhere in my time, there are still areas of New Braunfels I avoid like French “beef”:
1: Walnut. This is not just because of the eons of roadwork on the Avenue, but also because of the spooky two-lane ride up or down the hill. If you’re heading east and there is a wreck, you could be slammed into an unforgiving wall of rock. If heading west, you could tumble 700 ft. into an abyss where demons live.
2: River Road. This road with its stunning views is more dangerous than Syria.
3: The Downtown Roundabout (“The Squircle”). The rule to the roundabout is that you turn into the outside lane if you are turning onto the next street. If not, you take the inside lane until you reach the turn you want, then pull into the outside lane. The reality is, however, that if you get into the inside lane, you will be there for the rest of your life.
4: Around Either High School: The problem here is that there are a number of teens who have licenses but little experience behind the wheel. It’s like driving with moody monkeys where the rules of the road are, like, whatever.
Liebe, Karl

Dear Mexican: What do Mexicans
in the United States think of the violent
drug cartel problem currently in
Mexico? Do local Latinos cringe with
disgust or fear when they hear another
drug cartel story on the news…or do
they feel a sense of disconnect because
they are living in America now and it’s
no longer a concern of theirs? Do local
Latinos currently fear crossing San
Diego/Mexico border? Do they worry
about being kidnapped or carjacked
on the way to Rosario like Caucasian
people do right now?
Yo Gabba Gabacho
Dear Gabacho: Mexicans can be
scared of the cartels all they want, but far
more frightening to the majority of the
population is the Mexican legal system.
Police officers in the state of Guerrero are
being investigated in the kidnapping of over
40 student teachers; last year, a judge set
free Rafael Caro Quintero, the notorious
drug lord implicated in the murder of DEA
agent Enrique Camarena. And the less than
can be said about President Enrique Peña
Nieto, the better…actually let me take that
back. PINCHE PENDEJO BABOSO.
By the way, you and your fellow
gabachos gotta stop thinking the mundo
revolves around you. Unless you’re a meth
dealer delinquent on your payments or
a drug-war soldier, gabachos in Mexico
can walk around with impunity—you’re
Quetzalcoatl incarnate. No way are the
cartels stupid enough to kidnap a random
gabacho or kill them—otherwise, Obama
would drone the narcos to kingdom come,
and the Mexican government would
pretend to care about justice. But if you’re
one of the many Mexicans in los Estados
Unidos kidnapped when traveling in
Mexico, or have paid ransoms for family
members? The American and Mexican
governments don’t care—after all, those
victims are just Mexicans.
Dear Mexican: A friend and I
ate at Carl’s Jr. My Arizona Republic
newspaper was on our table. A young guy
brought our food, glanced down at the
headline and winced. It read ”’Chorizo’
new mascot for Cactus League.” We
asked him why he’d winced. “Chorizo,”
he said with disgust. ”You speak
Spanish? It means ‘meat’.” “It’s a swear
word,” I said, “like cabrón, pinche?” He
glared at the paper. “They are so stupid.”
So, chorizo = meat = prick, yes?
Su Amor Uni-lingual
Dear My Beloved Monolingual: Let me
show you my chorizo, and you can find out!
Dear Mexican: Why do Mexicans
ALWAYS hand-deliver invitations
to birthday parties, quinceañeras,
baby showers, bridal showers, etc.
to streetside mailboxes, rather
than mailing them through the U.S.
mail or delivering them to the door
(which is less than 20 feet away from
the streetside mail box). Regardless
of the fact that it is a felony to put
items into U.S. mailboxes, it seems
to be impractical with gasoline
at over $3 a gallon to be hand-
delivering invitations.
Mail Male
Dear Gabacho: Heaven forbid
Mexicans practice good manners! This is
a relic of Old Mexico, where mail was an
illusion and inviting people personally was
an opportunity to catch up with the invitee.
It’s actually a beautiful thing, much better
than getting an eVite or overlooking an
invitation on Facebook because it got buried
in your feed under the umpteenth Candy
Crush Saga update.

On ConservatismLike many libertarians, I struggle during election time to find a candidate that really reflects my beliefs. Things have gotten better in recent years as the Libertarian ticket has gained strength and fielded candidates of some consequence. In those cases, I feel very comfortable voting for the candidate with an “L” in front of their name. Other times, the Libertarian candidate is too far out of the mainstream for me to feel comfortable giving them my vote even if it’s unlikely that they would ever win. On those occasions, I almost always lean Republican simply because they are less likely to see a government solution to every problem.
Because of this, my friends of a liberal persuasion call me conservative, and I’ve always rejected this notion vociferously. I know that “conservative,” to their mind, means socially restrictive, prudish, and oftentimes bigoted. I’m none of those things, and my friends know better, but they can’t seem to move past their narrow view of conservative actions on social issues to see the larger picture of conservatism. I am conservative in many respects, just not in the way my friends envision it.
I am unquestionably fiscally conservative. I don’t believe the government should make deficit spending the norm. To do so devalues our currency (both literally and figuratively). It takes from those who are responsible enough to save and gives to those who spend irresponsibly. More than that, deficit spending encourages government waste and expansion. When our representatives feel comfortable spending money beyond what’s in the treasury, there is no limit to what they might spend it on, and the temptation to use the money for their own political gain is just too great. I can accept deficit spending in extreme circumstances (war comes to mind), but I’m dubious of any attempts to tinker with economic conditions or finance massive infrastructure or social programs in this way.
I’m of the opinion that our government does, and spends far too much now. I support efforts to rein in that spending and shrink government responsibilities considerably. In this respect, I am more conservative than most conservative candidates. Most Republicans at the very least have sacred cows that are never touched by cuts to government spending. I have no sacred cows. I would like all government spending to be carefully examined for waste, fraud, and
abuse, and such problems are not limited to only certain sectors of government spending.
I am also conservative in a traditional sense. Conservatives are reluctant to support sweeping change and often look to the past for more appropriate systems. This can be crippling if taken to extremes, but I’m not one to believe in a Golden Age where our society was perfect. That said, I don’t watch The Pajama Game or Leave it to Beaver and scoff at the ignorance and backwardness of my elders. There is nothing wrong with faith, family, and patriotism. One doesn’t have to denigrate traditional family structures to believe that other constructions are possible. I don’t think God is dead. I don’t believe that marriage is a tool of the Patriarchy. And, I believe that America has been a force for good in the world.
On this last point I am adamant. There has been no greater force for freedom in the history of the world than America. We have made mistakes in the past, and we continue to make them, but the overall effect has been decidedly positive. America has been on the right side of history consistently and forcefully. The liberal view seems to lack judgment in all cases, and as a result, America holds no special place in history for many liberals. All too often, liberals are actually willing to compare America unfavorably to failed regimes like Soviet Communism or China under Mao. I not afraid to call these people wrong and remind them of the atrocities perpetrated in the name of progressive politics. Che was a butcher, not a liberator.
I’m an ardent Reagan lover. I see him as the best president of recent history, certainly far better than Carter who he replaced and Bush the elder who succeeded him. I give Reagan the majority of the credit for ending the Cold War and toppling the Soviet Union and all of the credit for rekindling the American spirit after Vietnam, Nixon, Ford, and Carter. I don’t even try to dispute that Reagan may have been suffering from Alzheimer’s during his presidency with my liberal peers. I find it amusing to point out that even if this was true he corrected the slide that Carter couldn’t and beat Mondale in an unparalleled landslide for his second term. Reagan was the type of leader we see once in a lifetime, and it’s unfortunate that this is true. We could use his like in politics now.
While I am not as interventionist as many conservative politicians, I believe in a strong
America, and that includes a strong American military. I would caution that America should not be involved in every conflict on the globe, and being a policeman should probably never be our military’s role, but our enemies should most definitely fear us. When at war, America should bring to bear awesome destructive power. Our opponents on the battlefield should be crushed and forced to surrender unconditionally. That’s the American way.
I believe that any war on an idea is a mistake and the war on terror is no exception to this. I am happy, however, to have a war on some specific terrorist group, and I would expect us to bring the battle to them and their supporters to avoid having it come to us. Terrorism would decrease worldwide if the terrorists experienced a little more terror themselves. Many terrorists are willing to give their life for their cause; we should be willing to help them out with that.
On social issues, conservatives and I part ways more often than not. I am not overly concerned about “a woman’s right to choose” or “marriage equality.” Many conservatives seem preoccupied with these issues to an unhealthy degree. I understand the sentiment involved, but my libertarian beliefs prevent me from supporting legislation that would involve the government in private decisions.
Unfortunately for liberals, this attitude flows both ways with me. The liberal mindset also calls for government involvement in private decisions. They hope to enforce their value system as much as the conservatives do. Because of this I am no more “with” liberals than I am “with” conservatives on social issues. In fact, I can rely on the American people and the Constitution to hold much of conservative overreach at bay because conservatives tend to violate areas that already have a good background in precedent when they go too far.
I may shy away from the conservative label, but in many respects, I am conservative. I don’t reject the idea of conservatism, only the presuppositions that go with the label in the minds of liberals. But, if I’m forced to choose between a conservative vision for America and a liberal one, there really isn’t any contest. Call me a conservative.
