Since when did Conservatism equal Intrusionism?
The Conservative says, "I don't want an abortion, so nobody should have an abortion".

The Conservative says, "I'm paralyzed below the waist, but I don't want stem cell therapy, and nobody should receive treatment with stem cells".

The Conservative says, "I don't want to get married to someone of the same gender, and so that means nobody can get married to a person of the same gender".

Conservatives:

Small Government

OR

Intrusionism

You can only pick ONE!

(Intrusionism - A ck'ism which means that people want to keep interfering in other people's lives, even in matters that don't really concern them.)

1. I would call it fascism...
The melding of the corporate power, religious power, and government power.

2. Yeah, this is what is going to break that party, I think.
Or weaken it a bit anyway. The small government conservatives are going to eventually wake up and leave the party - or start fighting the religius intrusionists.
