Or, in other words, all "conservatives" don't necessarily agree on or believe the same things, and this varies by person and by region.
Like any political group, there's a wide variety of ideas. Religious right folks get lumped together with constitutional libertarians, but have very, very different ideas on the proper limits of legislation and government power.
And yes, there are both idiots and brilliant thinkers in the Republican party (which !== 'conservative'). There are very good ideas, and abominably stupid ones.
Much like any group of humans.

When it comes down to brass tacks they are as quick to use the government to crack down on an individuals choices as the other guys.
- claytongulick 3y agoYou mean a political party has talking points that they don't always live up to? Next you'll tell me that there have been presidents that haven't lived up to their campaign promises...
