It is just that I find the attitude of some other conservatives (here and in toto)
that only conservatives can heal the debt situation as appaling
as the nanny state ideas of "progressives" and
religious "arguments" from the whole spectrum,
beginning with Darwin-doubting conservatives to extreme "sharia to rule the world" POV.
