That may have to happen, or not.

But the problem still remains, long term we could end up right back in the same mess 50-100 years from now, maybe sooner.

As a conservative I want to fix things for good by being reasonable and open to where we are now and where we are going, not just to where we have been.

If by being reasonable and open you mean having to ignore the blatant usurpation's of power by the federal government then I don’t see how you can claim to be conservative. One would think that the entire purpose of the conservative movement was to conserve the constitution. If you are willing to give up constitutional procedure for social engineering, it being either “right” or “left” then I don’t see how you can lay claim to the title of Conservative. In fact I think people that ignore constitutional principle to further their agenda, no matter what their agenda, are the most dangerous foes of the USA.
