I agree wholeheartedly with Williamson, here. His punchline is a great summary of why becoming increasingly conservative (over against my strong libertarian baseline) has made me less, not more, Republican:

It’s really too bad there’s only one party in American politics that doesn’t cheer mass murder and use mob tactics to ensure that it can be performed without even minimal health standards.
