One thing I wonder about conservatives is - if they don't want to conserve anything, why do they call themselves conservatives. To talk about some more recent topics, I have issues when puppets with no experience are put on national platforms with mottos like "Drill baby drill."
A government made up of the corporations, run by the corporations, for the corporations to benefit the corporations.
An entire group of people so sure that Jesus is coming they think it's cool to tear up the entire globe and wait for his return in the destruction they created for themselves. Has anyone ever thought that hell is what's left over after we destroy everything else?
S&L scandals, robbing people's retirement funds, predatory lending ... all regulated into law and then left in place and allowed to ruin people's lives.
Enron and BP
Oil spill in the gulf - researchers are still not allowed to enter many areas in the coastal estuaries but the gov't is calling it 'cleaned up'. Covered up maybe - but cleaned up? No...
Anyways - it's not about Vietnam for me or the Gulf war. I believe in the second amendment. I want to protect myself and I know we have to protect ourselves. Whether I agree with where the troops get sent I'll always support them. I know they are made up mostly of kids who just want to get to college and defend their country doing it.
Tax credits for the rich and the corporations, the biggest deficit due to that and then blame it on the next president when there's a budget shortfall. Horrible education system. We pay more taxes than almost any other country. What's wrong with asking for basic healthcare? I don't think we get a good deal for our money in the US. We have a right to complain about it.

Conservatives LIE every time they call themselves conservatives. They've been more fiscally liberal than Clinton EVER was! They believe instead in Corporate Welfare and subsidies instead of the far smaller portion that would be required to maintain adequate social services.
They want to privatize everything so guys like Cheney and Halliburton can make a business of government services all the way from the Post Office to fighting wars and rebuilding countries we've smashed.
