Once upon a time there were real 'Conservatives', they believed in fiscal and political responsibility
The "C" Word
"Once upon a time there were real 'Conservatives.' They believed in fiscal and political responsibility. They expounded on the virtues of getting government out of people's lives. They talked about caution with regard to the use of military force and foreign intervention. They even promoted a policy of governmental accountability. Many of these people existed in the Republican Party. They might have been off track, behind the curve possibly, or at times deluded, but most tended to be civil, honorable and sincere," writes Bill Zide. "Now, it seems that this new brand of 'Neo-' or 'Theo-Conservative' that populates the rank and file of the current GOP leadership has put the 'con' back into 'conservative.'"
