Strict Constitutionalist. I would be ecstatic if we went back to the original intent of the Interstate Commerce Clause and got rid of welfare (I include subsidies) and most alphabet agencies go away.
The founders really were genius how they setup our government. Maybe they failed us in some respect by not being specific enough in their language. Although hard to hold them to fault, how could they foresee all the idiocy we have today?
I'm a Libertarian / Constitutionalist as well. The country would be much better off if State's rights were better respected.
If the South would have been allowed to secede, I wonder what that country would look like today, or what affect the Confederate States would have had on the progression of the Union. Both countries could perhaps have more respect for the individual as a result.
Welfare is a plague. The "New Deal" and the "Great Society" are the causes of many of our current problems.
