I'd like to see evidence of actual deregulation. "Deregulation" in practice always seems to really mean removing one regulation on a crony business and replacing it with two new ones on the crony's upstart competitors. The net burden of regulation always increases.

I fully understand the partisan trap.I grew up in a conservative family and became aware of politics during the Clinton administration. I still generally agree with the broad Republican arguments against the majority of Clinton's policies. However, during the Bush years, I became aware of the deep philosophical flaws and rational inconsistencies of the Republicans too.

Now, I strive to use a standard of individual rights and liberty regardless of partisan special pleading. It is this drive for individual liberty by universal standards that apply to all people regardless of the titles they claim that made me an anarchist.

Of course, the commies say I'm not a TWOO ANARCHIST because I support private property and free markets instead of embracing their own irrational authoritarianism.

To put it in the most blunt form possible, I support the right of married gay Mexicans to grow marijuana and defend their farm with machine guns. All without any registration, licenses or taxes. They'd be better neighbors than puritanical partisan control freaks.
