In a world over run with political correctness, micro-aggressions
(?!), over-regulation and general government intrusions into every level of our
existence, I find it both surprising and somehow heartening that there are
young up and coming conservatives who really seem to get it. You know those
younger folks who don’t buy into the Feel the Bern hucksterism of a
politician/sugar granddaddy offering up “free” stuff.
One such person comes in the form of self-described Libertarian Chick, Kristin Tate, a
conservative author, columnist and commentator who is out with her debut book, Government Gone Wild: How D.C. Politicians
Are Taking You for a Ride – and What You Can Do About It. Tate busts out
her take on some of the major issues facing the country and along the serves up
so not so common sense in her on unique fashion.
Tate is about a subtle as a claw hammer when it comes
to delivering her opinion. As an old school conservative I throw some people
for a loop when I talk about the so-called war on drugs. I am right there with
Tate’s take on things…the war is a failed effort and any true free market
conservative knows that we could solve a whole boatload of money issues if
moved away from incarcerating personal users and in the process started taxing
the crap out of people’s habits. There’s a reason that tax stamp is wrapped
over the cap of your favorite adult beverage at the liquor store.
While Tate is shy about telling you what she thinks and
she at times comes off as a little too hip for me, I clearly get that her just
leave me alone and let me do my thing attitude is what that country truly
needs. Like her, I don’t care who you sleep with, I don’t care what you ingest,
if you leave me alone, I will return the favor. Now is that too hard to
understand? Oh and let’s not forget, I take care of me and mine, and I’ll expect
you to do the same.
