Which “conservatives” do you mean? The ones on this website are for far fewer laws, and for proper enforcement of the fewer laws in question. Nobody that I’ve seen on here is calling for counter-legislation to the heaps of unconstitutional leftist legislation.

I described my observations here. I did not mean to say everyone but neither can you.

You need to listen closely, it is there. Most all solutions here are of a political nature, passing more national laws or electing the right politician. The government is the solution for almost every problem.

It is human nature to take the easiest path and pass another law in a centralized government. Every bit of legislation is another law to be used against us. What legislation doesn’t cause more problems than it solves? Name me one!

What is conservatism? Few know, or have their personal one issue definition.

One of the principles of conservatism in understanding human nature.

Now having stated my case, what is the solution if not a centralized government?

The answer is, there is no solution, no magic bullet. We cannot pass laws against human nature.

The best we can do is move the power/corruption back to state/local. That should be our goal and the founding fathers knew this. The battle is never won and must be continually engaged.
