Dispute it if you can.
That's not what I'm talking about and you know it
No I don't. Why don't you tell me?
Here I'm interested in preventing thieves from taking what is mine and you characterize it as a power grab
For the purposes of this discussion power can be defined either as the ability to do what you wish or to get others to do what you wish. Politics is certainly about the latter and often about the former.
Conservatives as a whole don't steal from anybody and don't want to steal from anybody
It's all in how one defines these things...and the reality is always different than the theory. Neither conservatives nor liberals condone what is commonly defined as theft. And when they do condone theft they give it another name and legalize it; taxes, tax breaks, socialization, privatisation, etc. etc. etc. Clean hands are hard to find.

Talk about lacking an education.
You are completely insane if you think conservatives want to do away with the country's infrastructure.
