		<description>Great article by O&#039;Rourke.  I do think, though, that he fudges a bit on the life issue.  Rather than being a fringe &quot;social issue,&quot; it is a necessary foundation for all personal liberties and property rights.

Every person has the right to &quot;own&quot; his/her life until they forfeit that right through a violation of law.  (Although, those against capital punishment may argue that even then, the ownership isn&#039;t forfeited, just the right to unfettered &quot;use&quot; of this property.)

The Bill of Rights fundamentally affirms our personal sovereignty and freedom.  No government or person has the right to deprive an individual of these rights without legal cause.  In the case of the right to life, as a society treasuring freedom we cannot allow for the deprivation of the right to life without great cause.  

If we do so, what foundation do we have for restraining a government or a neighbor from taking other property?  What obligation do we have to protect our neighbor&#039;s property rights?

Without the right to life, all our property rights and personal freedoms are subject to the tyranny of the majority.</description>

		<description>Thank you. Finally some comon sense being spoken in SC. The right wing radicals, and the left wing spenders have taken this party to its end game. It is time to start a new one...call it the conservative party if you will...

but based on getting governmen tout of peoples bedrooms and minds..and focusing on lowering spending and reducing the size. If we focus on reducing the scope of government first, then the tax cuts will by nature inevitably follow.</description>
