Conservatives completely gave up on small government after 9-11, if not before.

Yep, and that means they are not Conservatives anymore, they are just liberals in the GOP party.
It's astonishing, and rarely gets mentioned, just how fast the government has grown over the last 15 years or so, i.e. since Reagan got out of office. Perhaps because we've always complained about growth in federal spending, but it's gone exponential since Reagan, so much so that there doesn't seem to be much hope of reining it in.
Not all conservatives gave up on small government after 9-11!!!
