alleged conservatives abandoning conservative principles out of sheer hero worship turns my stomach.
We abandoned conservative principles when we invaded Iraq. Since that time we’ve spent $7 trillion on mideast wars and occupations, and it continues today. The GOP and “fiscal conservatives” don’t complain. So I no longer complain about spending money here at home on Americans.
I realized that “fiscal conservatism” was a fraud when the fiscal conservatives - including Freepers - were ok with endless spending in endless overseas wars. Only when somebody proposed spending on Americans in America did “fiscal conservatives” start yelling “we can’t afford it!” They’re ok with limitless federal spending - but only for foreigners, foreign wars, foreign occupations, foreign nationbuilding, and foreign “aid”.
Interesting, who’s President Trump sound like.
Please explain what the conservative principles you say are being abandoned are.
