You write an entire article on the factions and direction of conservatism in 21st century America and not one word on the 23 trillion dollar debt!

Obviously your college eduction was far more about indoctrination, than anything resembling clear logic.

As anyone who has ever had a credit card can tell you, debt doesn’t matter, until it does.

When you are my age, the question is not going to be what side of whatever Middle Eastern conflict we are on, but whether the landmass of the United State is one country, or several. Debt does matter. We will not be the first nation to debase its currency, trying to keep everyone happy. Nor will we be the last, given people tend to have to learn the same lessons every few generations.

You might be a Republican, but you have a lot to learn, before you qualify as a conservative.

Maybe just start by looking the term up in a dictionary.
