Maybe THEY don’t get to decide, but I do... and if you do not hold fast to conserving the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land, in its original intent and meaning, and shrinking the Federal Government to its intended size and (VERY) limited authority, you are anything BUT a conservative. If you want any foreign entanglements outside of what the Founders prescribed, if you want one single government program not specifically authorized by the Constitution, you are NOT a conservative. I don’t know what you ARE, but conservative you AIN’T.
And JUST WHERE — besides on the insides of your eyelids — is it written that this battle is “unwinnable?”
Sure glad you weren’t at Lexington, Concord Bridge or Yorktown!!
