Again, you simply do not know what you are speaking of. Not only do people live in middle-America, such as myself, but also I consider myself of the American Conservative persuasion and let me tell you that what the world has been told about what the Conservatives believe and what a few blowhard ninnies who have been fortunate enough to receive above ample air time in mainstream media and have unjustly propounded as being "Conservative" are simply not the same thing. Either on purpose, or out of ignorance, you are misrepresenting a group that I am grouped in. The raw essence of American Conservationism is smaller government, less control, and more freedom - to include freedom of speech. The true Conservative movement in America (not that portrayed by FoxNews and the like) do not, will not, and never will support any movement that functions to increase governmental control over our lives. That is the simple truth of the matter. It is not mainstream America that is so uptight, it is a vocal minority who are speaking on behalf of a movement they truly do not understand.
