You're confusing ignorant and conservative. There is nothing conservative about half of the population denying evolution.

In the brief clip, the man who describes himself as an independent voter, questions Santorum’s record and support for big government programs like Medicare Part D, No Child Left Behind, and five debt ceiling increases, while he was a Senator from Pennsylvania.
“What is limited government about that sir?” the man asks Santorum.
A visibly annoyed Santorum fires back "Vote for Ron Paul, that’s what you should do.”

Rick Santorum Says Vote For Ron Paul If You Want Someone Who Voted Conservatively - YouTube My guess is it was pretty obvious to Santorum the guy was a Paul supporter, in his face. Lets be honest Frank. Santorum, never said,"if you want someone conservative, you should vote for ron paul.

What is the approval rating of Congress? 14%? Yeah, you 2 party only types are doing a fine job of running the country. Folks are lining up to support your efforts.

Getting back to your attempts at perverting the meaning of conservative;

Tell me, what was conservative about the Patriot act?

What was conservative about no child left behind?

What was conservative about saddling the populace with another intrusive and ineffective government agency like Homeland Security?

What was conservative about entering into an ill-advised war in Iraq that's cost us trillions of dollars, thousands of dead soldiers, and countless maimed and wounded with little likelihood of ultimately accomplishing anything other than giving the people that actually attacked us another country from which to base their operations?

We as a nation can no longer afford to support your idea of conservatism. You, those like you, and your equally destructive liberal counterparts have driven us to the brink of bankruptcy.

Color me unimpressed with what you believe passes for conservatism.

I can only speak for me. But I am equally anti-tax and anti-war.
I want small limited govt. I want transparency. I want accountability.
I want integration of Big Gov and Big Corp dissolved.

There is some crossover on the issues,but I don't see like that at all.
What I do see is self professed conservatives who simply don't know what the term means.

Such as the OP who thinks not buying into the Neocon agenda is "anti-military"

"Anti-military" to a fake conservative is not wanting the USA to stick it's nose into the affairs of other Nations.

I'm anti-war but strongly pro-military. In fact, if we weren't spending so much on logistics and world wide hand holding, we could afford to equip our service personnel better and increase their numbers while saving money.
