Did you know that, at the end of the Civil War, there were more prostitutes in Washing DC than in any other city on our planet?
For me, a conservative is one who believes in limited government, the rule of law, the supremacy of the constitution, the special role of God in human affairs, balanced with a regard for free will and an acceptance of no established state religion. Furthermore, it is a political frame of mind in which responsibility is at least as important as rights, where entitlement is earned and not given out to those who have produced nothing of value.
In actual practice, a conservative is a guy who gets along with the local business elite, who bangs on about patriotism while looking for ways of avoiding military service, and who says he is for family values just after banging the maid.
There still are. They’re just called congressmen now
No, but that makes sense.
Today probably the most transvestites in the USA are there.

There still are.
There still is, but now they occupy the seats in the House and Senate, as well as the White House, and all the government agencies.
Does that figure include members of congress?
They are still there. They are just called Congressmen/women now.
On the planet? I doubt that. Washington at the end of the Civil War was a garrison town in the middle of a big war. Prostitution was rampant. Whether Washington had more prostitutes than New York or Philadelphia, however, I don't know. And I would guess that many much larger cities around the world had more.
