Isn't King Features best known for their comics?
"... a true conservative would vote against all foreign aid and would practice an isolationist foreign policy."
WHAT! I'm a "true conservative" and I wouldn't support either of those issues. That statement is from someone who is a LIBERTARIAN - NOT A CONSERVATIVE.
Aw phooey. A "true conservative" is just that, conservative.
What that word means is that they are not excitable people who run off madly in all directions even though agitators (activists) want them to. They are *generally* comfortable with the status quo, and support it. This does not mean that they are pleased with everything, but that they are content that *gradual* change, one way or another, is all that is really needed.
"Don't fix was isn't broken."
True conservatives have few illusions that the world can become an ideal place if we all just clap our hands for Tinkerbell, like John Dean believes. Nor do they believe that years ago, people were all patriotic, noble, polite, decent, and generally wonderful; or that our nation can somehow return to this fantastic-nostalgic past that never was.
That's a true conservative. And no matter how much the agitators of all stripes want them to hurry up, they are in no hurry. "But you'll miss all the excitement!", they cry.
True conservatives want a government that governs, not an acting troupe that runs a soap opera/comedy-variety show to entertain.
A true conservative would never equate Republicans to Pol Pot and Karl Marx.
