Logic, Capitalism, Family Values and A Strong Military?

The modern "conservative" movement in the United States trumpets its logic and support for capitalism, "family values" and a strong military. Unfortunately, their leading figures do not reflect these principles in their backgrounds or personal lives!

What do Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and Mitch McConnell all have in common? They've all been divorced at least once (some of them more than once) and NONE of them have served in the military. Tucker Carlson has the distinction of being the husband of one wife, but (like the others) never served in the military. Of this august club, only Pirro, Levin and McConnell can boast advanced degrees (all in law) and Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh were all college dropouts. Moreover, with the notable exception of Senator McConnell, every one of them has exhibited a penchant for conspiracy theories.

And, although they are all strong advocates of capitalism, every one of them has either inherited their wealth or made their fortunes in the media (or government service in the case of McConnell). In other words, NONE of them can legitimately lay claim to being a self-made businessman (including Trump, who inherited his wealth and real estate business from his father).

Hence, when one looks at the backgrounds and personal life stories of these prominent "conservatives," we are forced to conclude that their reputation for supporting logic, capitalism, family values and a strong military is undeserved. In fact, their own life stories make a mockery of their public reputations, and the moniker of "conservative" is shown to be an illusion.
