What’s wrong with conservatism?

Someone recently asked me how I feel about the conservatives in Washington. I had to look at them in despair and bewilderment; I didn’t realize we actually had conservatives there. The recent fiscal cliff debacle and the previous outrageous  appropriations bills and spending bills, social programs bills and other heavily inflated legislation that has come through has been most often pushed by those so called conservatives. I had to explain that the ones that your radio and television set say are the conservatives are most often than not the same ones who push big spending and high taxes. I had to ask him who in particular he believed was a conservative, he gave me too names and I shuddered, Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio! This guy is certifiably crazy, he honestly believes that these too individuals are actually conserving anything at all.

Paul Ryan has been one of the foremost frontrunners for the Republican Party both before and after this election cycle, claiming himself as a fiscal conservative. But is he really what he claims. The short answer is no, but some folks need reassuring facts presented to them in plain English. So here it goes… http://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/26344/paul-ryan#.UOeB2XfQup4 .  In all fairness this will take some reading to get an understanding of why this guy has the conservative streak of a crack head with 50 dollars in his pocket.

Senator Marco Rubio republican from Florida is by far the most deceiving member of Florida’s representation. The fact that this man has retained his place as a mainstream conservative choice bewilders me and most of the people I talk to. But is he what he and the mainstream media say he is, read on folks, this will give you the rundown of the past legislation and appropriation bills that has had the approval of Rubio. http://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/1601/marco-rubio#.UOd_FnfQup4. 

So you ask the question, what’s wrong with conservatism?  Nothing would be wrong with it, it is what we need but we don’t have conservatism; we have a deplorable example of representation and an imperial outlook on the world, we have a very low regard to being fiscally responsible, we have a country who if were a household would be in severe debt, had its home and vehicles repossessed and a stack of past due bills higher than the now extinct world trade center buildings stacked end to end to end(yes there were three buildings that fell), if the American government does not reverse its course and find a true sense of conservatism I feel we will all be doomed to repeat the horrors of the Great Depression and the Wiemar Republic depression.  

What can we as citizens do to ensure a more responsible future and a resurgence of real conservatism, some will say we need to pressure our politicians to perform their sworn duty and to represent them at all costs. Some will say we need to enter politics and turn the tide on the socioeconomic devastation being perpetuated and condoned by those in Washington. I like both options, we need better representatives and senators to be true to the meaning of conservatives and the people need to hold those people to their actions. There has to be some kind of change in the system, we cannot maintain this course, we cannot afford any more of this. We are on the perilous edge of the real cliff. That same cliff that has destroyed Greece, Spain and countless other countries and was the ruination of the Roman and Greek empires of old. The future belongs to us; we need to own up to it. Live Free my friends, I feel soon they will even try to take that from you by force.
