Trouble with logic on the right?

I have having some trouble following the logic of many on the right of the political spectrum.  Seems that contradiction is something under which they suffer but they cannot see it.  For example:

1.  They want the government out of mortgage insurance, something for which you pay, by folding the tent over CMHC, but it is OK to offer subsidized crop insurance to farmers directly from the government.

2.  They want the Wheat Board to die a quick death so that western wheat and barley farmers can sell to private brokers at so-called market prices, but they want to government to develop more agricultural policy to entice private enterprise to invest in agriculture... as if private enterprise cannot do it on their own.

3.  They believe in the right to own land and do with it what you want, but they also believe that, if you are a small farm owner, you should be cut loose so that big factory farms can take over your land.
