While I agree with much of what is stated here, I don't think most conservatives (either big or small C) are against services to the handicapped, public transportation and education.

And what would be missed entirely is that in 1986 when the government considered canceling the census as a cost saving measure it was the PRIVATE SECTOR that stood up and demanded that there be a census. The data collected via the census is used by businesses across the country to make smarter decisions and make more profitable decisions. Are the Conservatives against that as well?
