What happened to conservatism? Conservatism used to be of the Reagan, and later, Gingrich, mold. Fiscal AND social conservative, fairly libertarian approach to government regulation, and pro defense.

I just came over from being a registered libertarian to a registered republican, partially from urgings in the FR forums and partially to be in the mainstream, however, it appears to me a conservative republican is someone with a pro-life agenda, which I don't have a problem with, but it doesn't matter if the "conservative" is for big government spending and regulation programs as long as Jerry Farwell likes them. While I was paying $3.79/gallon for gas, Sam Brownback along with Dick Durban and Barak Obama are fighting to maintain a 51 cent a gallon tariff on imported ethanol. I seen Huckabee this weekend on the news and he's for government subsizided music.

I am so sick of big government liberals calling themselves "conservatives" because they are pro-life and anit-gay.
