There's nothing conservative about

[ScienceRocks]

-Letting our infrastructure fall apart and having shitty third world roads. Eisenhower would be pissed at his party today.
-There's nothing conservative about allowing a healthcare system that we had before obamacare to be put back into place. This system cost 3-4 times per person more out of our economy then most european nations you say are socialist.
-There's nothing conservative about hating education. There was a time during the 40's, 50's and 60's that the conservatives were some of the smartest and most educated people on the stage. Many of the early 20th century scientist were also Christians and believed in conservative social values.
-There's nothing conservative about our trade deals! Most of the 19th into the 20th century conservative presidents raised massive taxes against imports and demanded fair trade.

I find it weird how libertarianism has taken over the conservative movement and turned a movement of efficiency and proud into one of I just hate government.

You don't get to refine conservatism

I think they gave up when they realized government employed cultural marxists and neo coons were sabotaging all their efforts, and even destroying certain individuals who took umbrage at this.

The cowardly conservatives who remained decided to loot the vault. It's now become a many decades proud tradition. It's what "conservative" is now.

Actually, its very "conservative" - as its defined today. Same with "libertarian".

I just made this comment below, that "libertarians" now are nothing at all like what Dave Nolan had in mind.
The same is true of "conservatives".

Now, its all about giving money to the 1% while doing nothing yourself.

Okay, that may not be entirely fair. Some RWNJs and some Libertarians do indeed work at jobs but when I read "libertarian", I think of the nonsensical crap written by self-proclaimed "libertarian/anarchist" TemplarKormac

In any event, RWNJs do not believe in investing in their own country. They believe in paying higher taxes in order to enrich the 1%.

I disagree with your conclusion, but everything else leading up to that is right on. Good job.
