I actually hate the Conservative label, I take it too literally, maintaining the status quo.
But the general usage of conservative is supposed to be someone for smaller government, hawkish on defense, pro life, Christian values, etc. Is there anyone in Congress who fits that billing ?

A Conservative by the general definition would be cutting Government spending, reducing the size of agencies,etc to make spending fit a more modest budget.
The Patriot was a crime of passion, and we've been there before in American History. Obama was elected to get us out of wars and kill stuff like that. But he actually became the head of the largest spying administration we have ever seen. We need to kill it. The IC will argue they can't keep us safe without it. We need to stand up to them and reform them.
