I wish it was as easy as having a liberal vs conservative arguement politically. In Texas Republicans (supposedly conservative) are giving us a massive tax increase.

These discussions are useful.

Clearly the Republicans are the party most capable of implementing a conservative agenda but there are too many moderates.

To me its fairly simple - Conservative believes in:

Limited government and Strong defense

While we are getting strong defense from current conservatives we are NOT getting limited government.

A new group of candidates needs to be drafted to challenge RINOs in all races.

That is a reasonable description. But strong defense does tug against limited government. I'm for strong defense too, but not so strong it can conscript me or rob me blind.

Has America ever had limited government? At what point in history has government gotten smaller?
