I am the newest author here at catallaxy.net. Read my short bio here.

I describe myself as a conservative. I am often told that I am a libertarian. [Editor’s Note: She’s a libertarian.] To which my response is an old Reagan quote explaining that, “I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.” I got my political start in the Republican Party, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that today’s Republican Party is no safe place for any true conservative.

If you’re a small-government gal like me, there are countless reasons to be disenfranchised from the current Republican Party; e.g. wiretaps, the drug war, the ‘terror’ war, massive government spending, suspension of habeas corpus, unprecedented debt, and on and on…

The fact of the matter is that the Republican Party, as it is now comprised, stands for massive government (whereas, of course, the Democratic Party stands for gargantuan government.).

So, you may be asking, where do disgruntled former Republicans go from here? I am not sure yet. I’m still trying to figure that one out.

In the meantime, I look forward to writing here at catallaxy.net.
