That's the way I am. Interestingly enough, I've been called a progressive conservative before because of my Constitutional stances and a desire for a smaller federal government while endorsing state level plans that would be seen as progressive.
I think the term progressive is too broad for most. If anyone really drilled down on what a progressive really was I don't think people would be so quick to say they were one. Mainly due to the loss of personal freedoms.
And your small gov stance is no way a progressive. Your an enigma. Lol (I say that with all due respect)
