Why conservatives can't govern

We all saw the fruits of compassionate conservatism in the wake of Katrina. Thousands of Americans stranded by a government with an ideological axe to grind.

We can all see the fruits of compassionate conservatism once again as the US government, "instead of charging to the rescue, is charging for the rescue" of US citizens from Lebanon.

It used to be that carrying a US passport abroad meant something more than this. It used to mean protection, not protection for those that could pay.


Conservatives in action

Conservatives can't govern because they hate government and want to destroy it, but without any plan for what comes afterwards.

What comes afterwards seems to be a government that strands Americans in the face of Katrina, or war, or global warming.

ADDENDUM: It appears that even corpses must pay extorting safety
