OK. Tell me which societal problems you can lay at the feet of conservativism. Just curious.
Also, you like to suggest that problems arise with extremism on either side, but you neglect to mention that there are a host of problems that may be presently be laid at the feet of simple liberalism in this country, not extremism.
And if you believe bush is no more liberal than Reagan, some historical research is in order for you. Consider the massive entitlements and wasteful educational spending that bush is responsible for before you suggest that Reagan is as liberal.
And we have already been over the "unitary executive" business and have learned (or should have learned) that the unitary executive always arises out of modern liberal philosophy, not conservativism. Look at your commie buddy down in venesuela, taking the inevetable unitary executive route of all liberal governments. So any authoritarianism you see in bush is due to his liberal bent, not strict constitutional conservativism.
Myth. Conservativism is for sensible, well thought out change, not simply change for change's sake. Conservatives know that all too often, the torch of progress turns out to be a devouring conflagration. If they were thinking people, liberals should have learned the lesson by now as much scorched earth as they have left behind.
