Conservatives are fiscally conservative. If you do not like Ted Cruz or Trump or the Tea Party then you can personally thank the McConnells, McCains,Ryans and other RINO's. These people campaigned on a platform of fiscal responsibility and then proceeded to spend like drunken sailors.
Actually as Reagan put it at least the drunken sailors spend their own money. Thad Cochoran and his buddies just want to have an easier job with lots of benefits and they sell the sheep a bill of goods.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
