The argument Conservatives use for nuclear weapons is... we better have bigger and more nukes than our enemies, so why are they so against building a computer that could essentially crack any encryption type?
Someone or some country will create such a computer eventually, so why shouldn't we create the first and best one?

I'm a conservative and I don't know WTF you're talking about. Wait let me guess, since conservatives don't want us to spend a couple million or billion dollars we don't have on a computer you feel that we don't actually want to build the computer right?

so you found one news article that suggests that the NSA wants this so they can spy on the world, which is their job anyway, and you are turning it into a conspiracy? and you liberals call us conservatives wacky?

IBM in fact is leading the way in quantum computing, they have a processor that operates at a 7qbit speed, and is on the cusp of being pre production prototype ready. there are still issues that need to be solved before one becomes viable though. things like how do you keep an atom spinning perpetually so you can store information on such an atom.
and once a quantum computer is developed, in what ever country, it wont be long before others are building their own quantum computers, and then it wont be long before they hit the public markets. and of course it wont be long after that, that the current style of PC goes the way of the commadore 64.
Conservatives value brute force, not that sicency thinky stuff.
It's easy for the Nascar crowd to think of bigger booms. Computers are just trolling devices and porn boxes to those people. Encryption is a word that might as well be in Greek.

Why do Conservatives support the US having nuclear weapons, but are against the US building a "quantum computer?"
