"You're not a conservative. You're a vandal."

11. The Vandals

The Vandals like most Germanic tribes possessed certain standards that placed personal honor and loyalty above personal gain. These personal standards or to use an old term virtues were applied to the community. By the time of the Vandals the Roman Empire had degenerated into a nation whose behavior was similar to the behavior of the so called conservatives of today. The Roman political system had been corrupted much like our system today, personal political advancement even to the detriment of the common good.
The modern day conservatives really don't have any interest in promoting the common good which is reflected in their attitude and actions that has reduced the public education system to a failure at the national and state level. The only answer is to privatize and continue their redistribution og wealth to the upper income levels.
