Conservatism / Individualism at its core always runs into a wall.
On a personal level conservatives want people to decide their own path, until the girl next store wants to have an abortion. Then cons point fingers and talk about evil.
On a local level conservatives want homeowners and apartment dwellers to take care of their own problems, until their neighbor wants to leave 3 junk cars on his property. Then cons want zoning laws.
On a state level conservatives demand low taxes. Then roads fall into disrepair and they can't understand why they can't be fixed.
On a national level conservatives demand small government, then spend millions to become a part of it -- hopefully for life.
