Things conservatives believe

Source

So what is it exactly that conservatives believe? Yglesias gives us a clue:

Human Events lists the "ten most harmful government programs," two of which -- income tax withholding and earmarking -- aren't programs at all. The super-popular pillars of the social insurance state -- Social Security (#1), Medicare (#2), and Medicaid (#7) -- all make the list, along with genuinely harmful farm subsidies at number five in a tie with "contraceptive funding." Rounding things out are affirmative action and the obscure-until-last-fall Davis-Bacon Act.

Good idea, folks. Why don't you run against Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And of course all that contraceptive funding. The government is spending way too much money on that one, isn't it.

Just to hammer home the point that wingers are somewhat lacking in the soul department, we have Bay Buchanan at Crooks and Liars:

"I think Katrina has worn its welcome.- I think the American people are tired of it."

Got that all you displaced Gulf Coast residents? Sit down and shut up. We're tired of hearing about it.
