The problem as I see it is that political conservatives have put all their eggs in the Republican basket and then failed, as Mark Twain instructed, to watch the basket.
They're quite happy to court our votes every four years.
They're equally happy to kick us in the face in the intervening years.

"The problem as I see it is that political conservatives have put all their eggs in the Republican basket and then failed, as Mark Twain instructed, to watch the basket."
I would view it as Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are the eggs to be guarded, with various entities out there that would suck eggs--or infant brains from their womb.
And, the Social Conservatives are the ones who value all equally and have the guns and the WILL to best stand down threats.
