What's wrong with conserving? After all we're conservatives. Conserving our energy and resources for REAL threats makes sense. I grew up as the son of a sharecropper. There was never an abundance of anything except drought. We used our energy and resources for productive things. That to me is the essence of Conservatism.

Journeying through today's political landscape is very akin to walking through a barnyard. Identifying B-—S—T early is a necessity. A handy indicator has always been the party espousing a particular view. In the last few years, it has become increasingly difficult, because of the very poor decisions being made by those claiming to be Conservative.

Developing A healthy sense of skepticism is useful.
