The "New" Conservatives


The current GOP (Greedy Old Pricks) model of a "conservative," is a person who believes in: the freedom of religion....as long as it's the Christian religion; the right to life while at the same time, they embrace capital punishment; the pursuit of happiness........as long as your idea of happiness is the same as theirs; the elimination of welfare........as long as it's not corporate welfare (huge tax breaks, "no bid" military contracts, sweetheart laws that protect big Pharma and big oil, etc.); limited government......and supports the BATF, DEA, Homeland Security, the Federal Reserve, warrant-less wire taps, The USA PATRIOT Act, assassination of its own citizens (without as much as a facade of due process), etc.; a hatred of communism......but supports a "Soviet-style" foreign policy that includes "nation building" and toppling of dictators (except "friendly" dictators).....and laws that have NO authority, in any of the eighteen "enumerated powers," Gitmo, torture, and detention WITHOUT trial; cutting the Federal budget......as long as it doesn't include cutting the Pentagon's budget; talking like a Libertarian, spending like a Democrat, and behaving like a fascist! Honorable men such as Robert Taft and Barry Goldwater are spinning in their graves!
