Would you consider yourself a libertarian conservative, then?
What's interesting to me, and this might explain a little about why you received flak (at first) from conservatives for ripping on Bush's spending, isn't Bush a "progressive" Republican? I didn't really know that progressives had infiltrated both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party until Glenn Beck brought it up during one of his many informative segments.
Glenn Beck shares the same notion that Bush was spending far too much to be a real conservative. Late into Bush's second term, before I noticed it was out of control, Republican friends of mine began getting upset over the debt he was creating. For some reason I didn't 'see the light' until Bush signed a $700 billion check over to Wall Street,
which I discussed in more detail here. At that point I realized that he started something that would be multiplied infinitely if a Democrat were voted into office: that part also came true.
So, from what I take after you mentioned the problems Bush started and Obama continued, the fact that the Democrats have raised the debt limit by $3 trillion in only one years of Obama's presidency probably scares you too. Our country is in such a bad debt crisis, at some point or another it will explode. And then.... and then I dunno what happens, but I do know it won't be good. Especially if Democrats are still running wild in this country like they own it.
