Still Waiting For Conservatives To Conserve

Looking back it's clear that the conservative movement crusaded by Barry Goldwater - and bequeathed to Ronald Reagan - was flushed in 1994, when Newt Gingrich and a new wave of evangelical Republicans began prioritizing legislation of morality over all else.

Along the way the Republican brand has been mired in dichotomy and overt disarray. The preservation of individual liberty and less government now exist only as vacant rhetoric, hidden deep in the pages of the party platform.

Deficit spending and foreign currency borrowing have never been higher. Climate change continues to be ignored and freedom just isn't free, unless an individuals moral compass is directed towards James Dobson.

At the crossroad of irony and oxymoron, there is ample reality that shows conservatives simply aren't conservatives, since they have failed to conserve in every promised measure.
