Hey Titus, EEE was correct.
Today’s “conservatives” no longer believe in small government. They have become more progressive in their thinking, hence giving us progressive Neocon candidates like Bush & McCain.
"Neocon" - a term, like "racism," that means the one using it has no argument. Typically used by libertardians and Ron Paul nuts.
I've noticed, libertarians tend to think conservatives are "big government" because conservatives oppose abortion, oppose the redefinition of marriage to include homosexual "marriage," oppose the legalisation of prostitution, oppose the legalisation of all drugs, and oppose private roads, private court systems, and private armies.
It was libertarians that made me become a conservative.
