The simplest way of defining conservative designs would individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government. Many make the mistake of believing that the Republican Party stands for those goals.
The great Angelo Codevilla writes about a fact that has long been the major thorn in the paw of conservatives.....the fact that there really is only one party....the UniParty....and it is not conservative. The best that can be said of most Republicans is that they are for the status quo.
1. "....Republican Congressional leaders and their Democrat counterparts produced a Trillion dollar, multi-thousand-page spending bill that was voted immediately after being unveiled, without having been read. Republican 2012 vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan authored the latest edition along with Democratic Senator Patti Murray. Republican leader John Boehner preempted Democrats by preemptively accusing Republicans who opposed the bill of wanting to shut down the government.
2. He topped off this feat of leadership by declaring political war on the conservatives who had given Republicans the majority that had made him Speaker of the House ...
a. .... Republican Partys leaders have functioned as junior members of Americas single ruling party, the UniParty.
3. ... they have made Democratic priorities their own when the White House and the Congress were in the hands of Republicans as well as in those of Democrats, and when control has been mixed. The UniParty,....
a. The Outs are always the same people too: American conservatives. They dont have a party.
4. The latest negotiations were over some $80 billion out of three trillion dollars in spending. The bipartisan negotiators did not let into the room any of the major issues that concern Americans. Not Obamacare, not racial preferences, not religious liberty, not endless no-win wars. The UniParty is unanimous: more of the same!.... mere voters will have no way of affecting what the government does.
5. Breaking up the Uniparty, means breaking the Democrats hold on non- Democrat congressmen and senators. The only way to do that is to break the Republican leaderships hold on other Republicans and on the Republican label. That in turn requires using the primaries to screen out UniParty people.
6. Only about a fourth of those who vote Republican feel well represented by Republican officials. Because Republicans roar like lions but lie down like lambs, the label Republican does not inspire people on the non-Democrat side of American life ... conservative, voters need assurances that the Republican label cannot supply.
7. ... organizations that promote particular issues (the National Taxpayers Union, the National Rifle Association, Americans United For Life, etc....
8. ..... and arguably above all, to the Tea Parties) for assurance about substance.
These groups much come together and support the same candidates.
9. Candidate Smith, whether for President of the United States or dog catcher, must be able to say: I am the only candidate who represents those Americans who want smaller government, who want to safeguard human life, who defend the free exercise of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, and who oppose the governments intrusion into our lives, and I am so certified by the following organizations .
My opponent is supported by the Republican Establishment. What do you think that represents? It represents the UniParty!"
10 It is high time for the leaders of the main conservative organizations, together with the most obstreperous Republican elected officials (present and past chairmen of the House Republican Study Committee, Senators Cruz, Paul, Lee, Rubio, etc.) to consider how and on whom to affix the precious joint certification: conservative."

Until such time, we conservatives will view the Republican Party as a mirage, and a scam.
