Your post is a load of BS.

To equate conservatives' rightful disgust to "DU mantras" is completely idiotic.

Conservatism is a philosophy that opposes government action in society, regardless of any Constitution or preference or items of convenience. And don't reply with a spasm of rhetoric and hide behind the Constitution, talking about it requiring government to do border enforcement things for you. That's not conservatism. You "conservatives" are flailing your arms and posturing outrage because Big Brother government doesn't step in and do things in your life and now you're angry that Bush didn't announce even more government action.

You guys are not conservatives. You want government to be Big Brother.

Yes it is, conservatives believe in limited government, not zero government. Defending the borders is a legitimate function of government as defined in the Constitution.

No, you are confusing conservatism with libertarianism.

#93 is another load of BS.

Thankfully folks who "think" (?) like that are in the minority on FR.

You are confusing anarcho-Lbertarianism with Conservatism.
Protecting our country and borders is a legitimate power of the government.
