It would be too easy to talk about providing for the national defense,
etc.  The fact of the matter is that conservatives usually don't 
fall for the "Why can't we all just love each other" crap.  I know
that, for example, if America was unarmed, some freak would arm himself
and capitalize.  No, I'm not paranoid and I am damn sick and tired of
so much of MY money being WASTED on UNNECESSARY defense (damn sticky 
shift key).  Yes, I do resent the government taking away my money
with the pretense of helping others.  I can give to any charity I 
like.  I don't need the gubment to pick them for me.  The fact of the
matter is that it is unethical.  No, I am not heartless.  I would
just rather control my money "vote" and give to those organizations
and people that I want to help.  I worked for my money, I should be
able to do that.

You say, "but then X will go unnoticed."  If you care about X
then give your own money.
