So What is A Good Conservative?

38. He expanded social security

Signed civil rights laws protecting the right to vote and used federal troops to enforce desegregation in the south. The US wasn't alone in building up it's nuclear arsenal and late in his presidency he regretted giving the MIC so much sway. He's more liberal than many in congress who label themselves democrats today. The OP asked if there were any good conservatives and Eisenhower was one of the only reasonable ones that came to mind.

So you're against war? Most are. Sadly no one in congress gives a shit democrat or repuplican given our recent history. War in afghanistan? War in Iraq? Libya? Threats to Iran and Syria? How about the war on terrorism or war on drugs. Ask the people and they will tell you all these wars should all end. Ask our elected officials and they'll work feverishly to sell you on the need for more war. Heck the pentagon openly tells us they work with media to do so. Do I like it? No. But between a war monger that expands social services and a war monger that cuts them....

(Eisenhower also had the highest income tax rate at 92 percent and at at the time union membership among workers was at it's all time high. If republicans could resurrect Eisenhower they'd win. Instead they run lunatics.)
