Were you as a child whiny? Were you as a child insecure? Did you complain a lot as child? Where you the kid always running to the teacher to complain? Did you as a child think the world is a scary place and everyone was out to get you?
I do whatever the hell I want, don't like it then get lost. Irrelevant distraction and ad hominem handled. Now, back to topic are there any conservatives who are willing to answer the above questions?
Do a 'roll call' of all those you consider 'conservative' and they might come and answer.. i doubt it.. but they might.
I am, but it's the opposite here the rich here in america are conservatives; the poorer working-class tend to be liberal.
The margin of difference is actually rather small, and if you notice, the richer states are the more liberal ones, while the poorer ones tend to be the more conservative ones.
not necessarily. urban areas tend to be more liberal, where as the richer suburbs tend to be conservative, as are the hicks in the sticks for instance, Austin is a fairly liberal town, whereas West Austin is conservative; though they have more money, they vote Republican, with the rest of the ignorant dogmatic hicks. false sense of security is the factor
The only reason that "Hicks" are conservative is because of their religious beliefs and Bush is good at stroking their Jesus receptor sites. Plus, if you ain't into "God" and guns, you won't get their votes. The only Democrats in these areas are the "Dixiecrats" who still believe that George Wallace should've won the Presidency ...or those who believe that FDR was the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Awwww And for the original topic... No to all. What about wanting the government to fuck off and take responsibility for your own shit would cause you to be that way?
Yep, that's all conservatives want, ain't it? LMFAO!!! Don't live in BUSH's America, do you? Never heard of Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan, or Rush Limbaugh have you? The Republican Senate has never passed a government program, never wanted to ban gays from getting married, never wanted to get their policies inside a woman's uterus, never wanted to force their religious beliefs down our throats via the school system. No, Republicans and Conservatives are our friends. They are here to protect us from terrorists like anyone who disagrees with their philosophy.
So my concept of conservatism is arbitrarily limited to what you understand it to be by the actions of those I would in no way consider conservatives? I personally find no joy in thinking I've succesfully countered someone's argument solely by changing their argument to what would fit my counter argument... But hey, whatever floats your boat.
Oh boy, here we go again, with your own subjective definitions. Just like the Christian phrase, "Well, you don't understand what a REAL Christian is." Ok, I don't understand what a "real" Conservative is, right? But, I do understand what reality is and your CONSERVATIVES today (those who I've named) are in great power and are doing exactly the OPPOSITE of what you claimed earlier. They are NOT getting government off our back...and I just dare you to try to do it. Go ahead...stop paying your taxes, stop obeying the government law and see if your Conservative government allows you to go on "being responsible" for yourself. Selfish assholes (those who are selfish and are assholes) piss me off, but that is just MY OWN assessment of what a selfish asshole is...
Who said they are my conservatives? When did I mention REAL conservatives? I recall only mentioning 'my concept of conservatism' I also never said anything about currently being able to do that, merely that I believe it should be as I said, the government minding it's own damn business and quite taking away my freedom, privacy and money, and let me handle my own life. Just have to change what I'm saying to fit your argument still eh? The problem as I see it with the general liberal viewpoint, is that it mandates something above yourself.. Something that basically owns you.. As though you could not survive on your own..
