The States might be 'United' but the people seem to be splintering. :)

As long as these groups stick to themselves (each believing they are the
'right' group) nothing will come of them, apart from the occasional
extreme nutter doing something illegal. If they got orginised they could
create quite a stir.

"Conservative" is a set of political ideals that *used* to be what the
Republican party largely stood for:

A Federal Government that is limited to only what it's supposedly
required to do by our Constitution: a bare minimum in most cases.

Alas, that was back before the Republicans developed the "Southern
Strategy" after Democratic President Lyndon Johnson alienated most of
the white Deep South bigots with his civil rights programs: pandering
to that "Southern Strategy" and the Republican's courting of the way-
out-there-far-right fundies has resulted in the GOP's swinging so far
to the right that they've mostly forgotten what the party used to be
all about: freedom as opposed to government control of practically
everything.

These days the far right is every bit as controlling as the far left:
the two simply disagree on what needs to be controlled.

The Democrats are big on gun control, health control, and unlimited
taxing and spending.

The Republicans are big on morality control, unfettered laissez-faire
capitalism, and unlimited spending *without* taxing.

Who do I vote for?

The best compromise I can find between sanity and ideology.

Of course, Republicans *invariably* go to fruitloop lefites like
Saddlebag when they want an accurate, honest definition of
Conservative values.

Much as Democrats define themselves according to the gospel as
preached by Sarah Palin...

a) Saddlebag may be a fruitloop, but he's not a lefty or a righty
because he is quite able to think for himself and form his own values
b) Conservatives go to Fox News to get an honest definition of
Conservative values.

Sarah Palin only speaks Teabagger. English speaking folks don't know
what the hell she is saying.
