JeffHandle Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Are conservatives REALLY conservative? If conservative is supposed to mean less/smaller government and more freedom for the people, then why are drugs illegal? Why did Bush waste trillions over seas? Why did conservatives champion corporate welfare for banks after the housing crisis without making sure that "too big to fail" was fixed.. Today the too big to fails are even bigger and they have gotten a pat on the back for their wreckless behavior... and the madness continues. On that note, why do conservatives bow to corporate special interests instead of practicing what they preach -- "free markets"? Why do conservatives care if homosexuals marry? It seems to me that a true conservative stance would be for the government to get out of the marriage business altogether. Why did Reagan start the "Obama Phone" program that Republicans of today rip on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conservative doesn't mean "less/smaller government and more freedom for the people". That would be the Libertarian or Constitutional Party view. Please go to a private school and get an education that won't embarrass you like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did Reagan start the "Obama Phone" program that Republicans of today rip on? Typical straw man argument from a liberal. This is the only way other than ad hominem attack that they know how to discuss things. How about this lib. Why do liberals go out and buy foreign produced goods like TVs, electronics, cars, etc. and then rant about the jobs going overseas?? Buying a Japanese car manufactured in the US still sends the engineering and design jobs overseas. All Apple products are made overseas since many of them are made with substances that are illegal to use in manufacturing here. So explain to me why the libs rant about the jobs going where they spend their money???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everything you said applies to Republicans and not conservatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntfishlib Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The almost universal support for government-forced ultra sounds among the far right is just mind numbing. We as a country have declared abortion legal. Cons should do everything in their power to make it a crime, if they so desire. But no, they decide to force government down women's throats and other places. I got my junk clipped 2 years ago. Why don't we require men to get a massage of their balls the day before their vasectomy? You want a boob job? Maybe you should go in front of an all-male board and show your rack to see if you qualify. You so called conservatives are nutso! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William1444 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 working middle class morons say they are conservatives because they cling to their bullshit religions and guns and vote for repukicons like bush and other azzhole republicans who say they are conservative. What republican politicians are saying is that they are only there to LIE to morons and to CONSERVE the wealth and status of the rich and so get bribes called campaign contributions. Duhhhhh.
