"The agenda that advances "conservative" goals such as new entitlements for prescription drugs, greater federal involvement in education, federal involvement in faith based charites, the repeal of the first amendment via "campaign finance reform", a "know your customer" violation of the forth amendment, and an ever growing federal leviathon? That conservative agenda?"
I would add a few but yours is a good start. The diminishing of unique freedoms first accorded to us by a now catastrophically trashed Constitution in exchange for a false security called safety constitutes another biggie for me.

I only commented on a few of them, and only the so called consevative agenda of the elected officials.
The so called conservatives here are another story. Many support no smoking laws on private property, government price controls on ATM fees, and just about anything else that confirms the governments control on most things imaginable. They value order above all else.
Then toss in the violent theocrats masquerading as conservatives and you get quite a stew.
