Then the self-proclaimed 'real conservatives' will never support it.
Oh, you're a hoot.
Seeing that one of the few real and constitutional duties of the federal government IS to defend and protect the borders of this country, I'd think %100 of real conservatives would overwhelmingly support it thankyouverymuch.
Based on what I've seen on other threads, anything that cost more money (e.g. the Dept. of Homeland Security) is a bad thing according to those who have labeled themselves the 'real conservatives.'
So, hon, don't get snippy with me. Get snippy with them when they start ranting about it.
