Well, to be fair, there used to be forced prayer in schools and it wasn't liberals who put "In God We Trust" onto our currency in the McCarthyism era nor in the late 1800's. It wasn't conservatives who pushed for women's rights and it wasn't conservatives who pushed to end slavery. So their track record as far as butting into people's personal lives hasn't exactly been very good. They've never seemed to mind the idea of having church and state be buddy-buddy with each other.
But on the issue of being good to small businesses, supporting the little guy, being against the idea of losing jobs, being against the idea of buying things that are made in other countries, conservatives have made done a complete 180.
