Actually, it's a good question if you consider the real definition of Conservatism.

Wikipedia lists the following Forms:

    Liberal conservatism
    Conservative liberalism
    Libertarian conservatism
    Fiscal conservatism
    Green conservatism
    National and traditional conservatism
    Cultural and social conservatism
    Religious conservatism
    Progressive conservatism

I'm all for getting more of and restoring some of these.

But in the sense of Neoconservatism, nehh, what a pile.

I'm still workin on the smokes, Pagan. I hit a tobacco-pipe now. Freaks people out too, long hair, dude smoking a pipe..."hey, it's just tobacco!"

I miss you, Tom.

As for politics? C'mon, we have a problem. And it ain't revenue, it's spending more than we take in.

Soaking the "rich" will never cure this, only controlling spending will. Most adults realize this.

Stay thirsty my friends. (I just had 3 teeth yanked from my skull, and I'm well lubricated on day 3, the day of swelling).

Climb on!

Conservatives cannot ever hope to rebuilt a viable movement until they rid themselves of the religious fanataics who have hijacked the movement.

This is why I left. You people really depress me.

I don't know what else to say. Have fun, fools!

You leave then come back and post on this thread, and call everyone else fools?

Why not stick to climbing threads here? You'll get less aggravated, and get along better with other climbers who are typically much less conservative than you.

It's like this...Obama is a clear liar, Romney is an unknown, but appears to be honest because he is a stupid Mormon that has to be honest, and has a record of honesty.

Who would you trust?

Blue, do you really believe this statement of yours?

Since Bluering posted the first post, our national debt has gone form 4 tillion to $16 trillion. What that means Dr F, is that you are not paying enough taxes. Your share that you have deferred is currently over $140,000 and growing larger daily. Same as the rest of us taxpayers. Since we cannot cover the existing bill, doesn't it make you scratch your head and wonder where the end game for this is? How far in debt will we go until it all comes crashing down?

Check this: http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Hope that the spelling was good enough for you. Is that the most important thing here to you? Leaving aside the republican/democrat and even the liberal/conservative thing, how do you respond to just this huge US debt issue that appears unsolvable?

Gary Johnson: better man than Ron Paul for someone who wants less goverment intrusions and doesn't want a right wing social agenda stuff down their throat. IMO.http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/

Bill, pick one of the 2. A vote for Gary (good man) is a vote for the Socialist In Chief.

What is in the mind of die-hard Repugnicants suffering from a serious case of O.D.S.
Well read for your self. If you find yourself in agreement with this persons views then you may want to seek professional help. At least you may want to take a break from rightwing radio for a while.


OMG. ROTFLMFAO. He's not a failure if you love government overreach and socialism. I can't believe people with any intelligence at all fall for this clown's crap. He has the most corrupt regime (administration)of all time. Maybe not the Roman empire.

He hates the Jewish people. He's not too crazy about Hispanics. Hates the British because they put his daddy in prison once. Not fond of Europeans of any kind. The only thing this man loves is POWER. He is drunk with it. He hangs around with the left wing hypocritical millionaires and billionaires who share his thirst for power.

In the 60's and 70's I believed in many liberal ideas. Back then liberal meant open-minded. That no longer is the left wing agenda. They are incredibly closed minded. It is now wealth and power at the expense of everyone else. WAKE UP Phil, the 60's are gone.

People used to come to America to build a life for themselves and their families, not for all the freebies. As the nanny state continues to grow, more and more people will become "victims" of entitlements. You know Hitler, Stalin and other dictators like Hussein fed the people so they would listen to their propaganda and lies without question. One out every 5 households get food stamps. Sound familiar? It will if he and others like him are allowed to impose their sick beliefs on innocent people. American kids have been programmed for years in school to start to accept things without question.

If things are so bad here, why have people wanted to come here for well over 200 years? At the rate this country is deteriorating, we may not have that situation in the years to come. They'll stay where they are at because there will be nothing exceptional about America anymore. We are already in trouble as our education system is a failure. American kids rank 17th and 25th in the world in math and science. We are losing our place as a world leader in just about everything. We are the laughing stock in many places around the world. Check the middle east. Daddy O said (amidst apologizing to the world for America) "we will extend our hand if you unclench your fist". How's that working out? Guess that catch phrase didn't match "I have a dream today". Of course Dr. King didn't hate America like this dictator. He just wanted some equality. (Liberal)

Now the left wing nut jobs call themselves "Progressives". I always thought progressive meant to improve not destroy something. I don't even recognize my country anymore. This was once the greatest republic on the planet -- too bad you don't remember it, Phil. Oh, and by the way, the housing bubble that caused the economy to tank, was forced on the banks by a democratic congress. The plan that "everyone should have a house" was actually formed by Clinton and Carter. George Bush had nothing to do with that socialist failure when it was inaugurated.

I don't know where this guy had all that time to impose his will on us, what with traveling all over in his favorite R.V. (Air Force One) at a cost of $185,000 an hour. " Thank you to those of you who pay taxes" was heard as he flew out of sight. Nobody heard the "suckers" under his breath.

I know I'm wasting my time on you, but it is fun rebuking stupidity. Got to go Comrade(s). Be careful what you wish for.

Now the only FoX talking point that he neglected is the oft used complaint about Golfing. And that is because the writer (my brother) has been an avid golfer most of his life. But that is only one of the hypocrisies he presents. You see he is an unrepentant racists and cares nothing for Hispanics or Jews or Immigrants of any kind. He is an equal opportunity hater. He can't stand Europe or Europeans Old or New. These are not his issues they are talking points. He rails against ObamaCare calling it the Socialist nail in the coffin for America. And yet, paradoxically he just had tummy tuck surgery courtesy of Medicaid. You see my brother who was once an Olympic hopeful athlete and a very intelligent young man has warped into an angry and hateful morbidly obese (over 400 lbs) man towing an oxygen tank. My brother is solely responsible for his abysmal health and had no qualms about having "socialist medicine" helping him out. Yet he would have millions of Americans, like me, denied insurance coverage because of pre-existing conditions. Hmmmmm... My barely employed older brother drank himself into dismal obesity and and it's OK for him to have the rest of US pay for his surgery. But me, who was injured working overseas for the US government, should now be denied coverage since I've lost my insurance through divorce.


Is this one of the "Thousand Points of Light" Daddy Bush promised US with his "Compassionate Conservatism"?
