I realize some people in the world despise everything conservative and think we all want the army, with guns, on the street, in the cities, and that we all have some over arching secret agenda but not all of us are members of the jonathan stuart leibowitz bj corps.

I don't think you have a secret agenda, but Glenn Beck is a different story. The problem I have with the conservative movement in the US is that their social policies are outdated and create division. I am not talking about welfare, health care, etc... It's things like gay marriage. It's coming. The younger generation who will control elections in 20 years don't care if people are gay. It's the same with the military policy. You talk to the older generation of the military and they don't want don't ask don't tell revoked, but you talk to the young soldiers who are doing most of the fighting and they will tell you they have served with someone who is gay and it didn't matter to them. Same thing goes for abortion. I am anti-abortion, but don't thing the gov't should legislate against it because it is too much of a grey area. If conservatives just stuck to the ideals of fiscal responsibility and small government I would vote for them more often. Unfortunately, they want to give a group of people less rights than the rest of us, and make big deals out of things like the community center at ground zero and I am not going to vote for someone who espouses those views. I feel that equality is more important than the economy. I also feel that conservatives are going to look back from 5-10 years from now and feel ashamed about how they were anti-gay marriage and making a hub bub about the "mosque" at ground zero just like they feel when they look back at the Civil rights movement last century.
