But some of that "castrate government" that the Libertarians are talking about is starting to look tempting.

The problem is that they want to cut the balls off of needed services. I want to cut the balls off of Dept. of Homeland Security and the NSA.

Perhaps there is common ground somewhere.

Edit: And for those NSA onlookers, I'm talking about cutting funding. The old fashioned democratic way. Got it?
