So what polices of Trump's do you oppose? And on what basis do you consider those policies are
not conservative? If you are defending Bushism then you are not defending conservatism you are
defending neoconservatism. To this old palocon Trump looks like the most conservative president
since Ike.
Lack of fiscal responsibility
Huge "infrastructure" expenditures and protection for entitlements.
Pro Kelo eminent domain.
Against returning federal lands to the states thinks the Feds are doing a "wonderful job" managing lands they seized from the states.
Continued funding of planned parenthood.
Do I seriously have to explain to you why those aren't Conservative?
I'm not defending Bushism...until Obama came along he held the record for the President who increased the federal deficit by the largest amount in the history of the Country.
I'm defending Reagan style Conservatism. The style of Conservatism that led to the two biggest landslide victories in the history of the U.S. and started an economic tidal wave that lasted early into the Bush 43 administration.
THAT is the kind of Conservatism I'm talking about.
As far as Ike goes...He accepted and in some cases even expanded the New Deal. He was the first demand-side Keynesian in the White House, and like many presidents after him, he listened to the people who said productivity (supply) doesn't matter as long as spending grows. It took nearly 30 years for Congress to realize that paying perpetually higher prices for the same bundle of goods was leading us down the road to perdition. We still haven't fixed the policy problems from the post-war era.
