Conservative Vision For America = The Wasteland On Road Warrior

I am serious. Every time I hear a Republican talking about "conservative values" I want to hurl. Their dream for America is to have a handful of people running the whole show (their contributors) and the rest of us slaves working for crumbs. All in an overheated iceless world where "weather events" are constant. Fires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes are killing people right and left, and there is no money to even help the victims, because it is all in the Cayman Islands.

Where is a Democrat with the balls to tell folks what "conservative" really means in today's America.

Fiscal conservatives that voted for Bush, and his 7 trillion dollar war our children will have to pay for?

Social conservatives that want every single 10 year old rape victim to carry their child to term?

Climate change denying Koch Industries employees (half the Republican Party).

The list goes on.

We as a party need to challenge the word conservative, because it doesn't mean what they think it means.

I know, it will never happen, but it is nice to think about it.
