Ignoring the cost of uncontrolled illegal immigration to Americans in the areas of crime, healthcare (dozens of closed hospitals) and education (tax dollars earmarked for school programs re-routed to esl and other illegal-focused spending) is 'live and let live'?
How can one be 'hopelessly liberal' on social issues (gun control, abortion, family integrity, open borders, personal responsibility are social issues) and still be a Conservative?
Wanting lower taxes does not make one a conservative...especially when one is a small business owner who would personally benefit.
Sorry but the one whom you choose to defend profits from illegal immigrants and when asked about the negative effects on our society caused by these people, specifically the cost to the victims of violent crime perpetrated by them, responded - and this is a quote - "YAWN"......iow, screw them, I'm making mine.
Share your bed with whom you will.
Because we're talking politics here, and 'Conservative' should refer to political issues.
Which we all agree on.
If you start saying "X is not a 'real' conservative', like me", then you're kicking them out of your coalition. And that is a sure way to lose elections.
