ORIGINAL: StrangerThan You want to know what most conservatives want? Just leave them the fuck alone. Stay out of their business. It is, that simple. Well, no, it's not that simple, because it's not true. And it hasn't been true for many, many years. The libertarian conservatism of Eisenhower and Goldwater has been replaced as the dominant conservative paradigm by the religious fundamentalist authoritarian conservatism of Bush and Cheney. The party of "mind your own business and leave me alone" has become the party of "hey, god says you shouldn't be doing that!" Republican political leaders are clever enough to cloak their fascist agenda in the benign libertarian rhetoric that appeals to most of middle America, but their actions belie their rhetoric. Completely this. Iowa is a shining example of it right now.
