The Myth of Conservatism part 2

I have always considered myself a conservative. I want to conserve our natural environment for the health and enjoyment of our children. I want to conserve American jobs by not allowing companies to move them to China. I want to conserve our tax dollars by using the purchasing power of "We the People" to get the best deal on things like health care. So why are the "Conservatives" against all of these things? I believe it's because the "Conservative" movement isn't a solution for governing as much as a marketing campaign. The Ads read Family Values, Keep Government out of our lives, Fiscal Responsibility, etc. So why is it that when Republicans are in power they are plagued with scandals of infidelity and corruption. They push through the most intrusive government programs such as The Patriot Act and warrant-less wire tapping and advocate for the government to decide what we do in our bedrooms and generally side with big business against individuals. The fact is that none of these issues ever get solved, abortion is still legal, there is more cursing on TV than ever, the government seems to grow and the budget goes out of control. If conservatives were to actually solve the problems they campaign against they would loose their taking points and need to address some of the more pressing issues. Let's face it, the conservatives or at least those in congress don't govern well. Since Reagan took us down the path of Voodoo economics we have dropped in every measurable way as a super-power. We went from being the largest exporter of finished goods to the biggest importer. We were the biggest creditor and now the biggest borrower, we had strong unions that helped build the middle class now our manufacturing jobs have moved to China. If we are going to continue to be the greatest country on earth we must stop pretending that what's good for the top 1% is good for America and call the conservatives what they are... Snake Oil salesmen.
