A Place for Conservatives

LMAO you wanted to make a safe space to share conservative viewpoints and all you end up doing is bashing Liberals?

Yep, this thread is called place for conservatives.
You get that right? I don't have to follow any of your liberal rules here. If I want a bash liberalism I will. If I want to post something conservative I will. If I want to defend something I will. If I don't want to defend something I wont.
 
I found this list of translations for liberal speak. Has some good insights.

If you listen to liberals, it quickly becomes apparent that what they’re saying has very little relation to reality. They’re like the “Boy who Cried Wolf” except they spend their time yelling that the sheepdog is about to kill everyone while the wolves sneak in the back gate they left open while they were too busy arguing with their friends about whether eating Chinese food is “cultural appropriation.” Ok, maybe that’s not the best analogy, but the bottom line is that it’s difficult to understand what liberals really mean. So with that in mind, here’s a liberal translation guide that will help you understand what liberals are really saying.

1) “Peaceful Protest” – No liberals were hurt while throwing bricks through windows, demanding “Death to the pigs” or getting together in large gangs to waylay small, lone counter protesters from behind.

2) “Voter Suppression” -- Cutting into Democrat vote totals by taking any steps to prevent voter fraud.

3) “The Constitution” – An outdated, irrelevant document that should be ignored unless you are claiming that some liberal agenda item is guaranteed by it despite the fact that no one noticed it for 200 years.

4) “Fascist” -- People who want to cut spending, abide by the Constitution and get the government off your back.

5) “We want the government out of our bedrooms” – We want the government out of our bedrooms…right after they force the Pope to buy us birth control and promise to support our children if we decide not to use the IUD suggested by the Pope because, “Who does that guy think he is, right?”

6) “Greedy” --
People who want to keep money they’ve earned instead of giving it to people who don’t work as hard, but do vote for Democrats.

7) “Sexism” – Disagreeing with Hillary Clinton, opposing the abortion of female babies or being against mentally ill men being allowed to use the bathroom with women.

8) “Radical position” – Relatively popular non-liberal positions that have been around as long as anyone can remember -- that liberals have recently decided to oppose almost entirely to make themselves appear more sensitive. Example: Refusing to change the name of the Redskins or believing you can’t change genders via surgery is a radical position.

9) “Angry, white male” – A white guy who votes Republican.

10) “Anti-intellectual” – Those who refuse to acknowledge that liberal college professors who couldn’t cut it outside of a university or MSNBC are right about everything.

Um..... This thread is supposed to be about discussing conservative related topics. Please stay on topic. I think this is the 2nd time I have had to tell you. Maybe you are obsessed with liberals and therefore can't post something non liberal related. If so I find it strange that you started this thread.

I just saw this post from you after making my own post of a similar nature. Didn't mean to copy cat you.

Sorry fish, I'm having too much fun as a conservative triggering you liberals.

do you have anything of substance to say about the liberal list that I posted?

You guys don't seem to understand that when I post something about liberals, the opposite is usually what conservatives believe.
 
This is a place where open-minded conservatives can come and discuss the other side of our country's successes and challenges.

Lol

It appears you want to shut down my free speech. Is that accurate? Do you want to control and manage what I say and do? Are you trying to shame me and make me feel bad about believing differently than you?

You are an absolute clown.

I've been monitoring this thread hoping to actually learn something. You have proven that you only care about 'triggering Liberals' I highly doubt you've ever had a unique thought about any kind of political policy.
 
Stay on topic please. This thread is supposed to be about conservative views and topics not liberals.

So then, what he really wants is a place where conservatives can mock liberals and feel safe from liberals mocking him in return?

For me, the whole conservative typology doesn't really work much anymore as today's Republican Party has, in the post-Trump world, rejected such long-held, conservative principles such as: limited government (e.g., opposition to Executive overreach), low deficits, support for NATO and other post-WW II alliances, free trade, character in public servants, support for intelligence agencies, personal accountability and law & order (not that they were ever for it, per se, it's always just been for the little guy), opposition to strong-men who threatened the world order, etc.

To be honest, why would someone not observe what's happened to the Republican Party in the post-Trump world and not conclude that so many of the conservative principles it has so long espoused were not borne of actual, principled commitment but rather out of what was convenient, as long as it was the other team doing what it supposedly didn't like?

BTW, I'm a progressive who believes ardently in capitalism, free trade, individual rights, strong national defense, world engagement, many of the thing conservatives profess to believe. I also believe in prudential regulation, protecting the weak and marginal, balancing efficiency and equity, avoiding unwise foreign entanglements, challenging entrenched power structures, strict separation of church and state, and making the rules of the game fairer. In other words, balance. I tire of the 'either or' mentality that dominates politics.

For me, I begin with a set of first principles and then go from there. My dominant first principles are economic, social, and political justice and personal freedom. In real life, they often conflict, so I'm interested in how we can best manage the tradeoffs to produce a just, equitable, free, and prosperous society. If you want to talk about that, I'm game. Conservative philosophy has a lot to offer to the debate; Trumpism has almost nothing to offer to it.
 
No problem if you do not wish to discuss conservative politics. Why did you guys feel the need to even comment if you do not wish to participate?

Stoked, I am not looking for an "echo chamber". Just looking for a place that is conducive to conservative opinions instead of the liberal stuff that is in every other political thread on the site. It is not fun defending against 7 people at one time so I thought I would create a thread where opposing points of view can be shared.

I fully realize that very few conservatives will show up here because being a conservative seems to be squashed on this site but what the hell.
Why do we have to categorize liberal or conservative? This is divisive and what people in power want, to keep us divided. How about discussing or at least trying to determine what is right and true, and in the best interests of everyone?
 
* I do not necessarily believe in every word that these articles state but I do believe in the overall message they convey. This disclaimer is for all of you that like to nitpick every word and quote them to make the poster look bad.

Here are some liberal policies and beliefs that I disagree with:

The all mighty government will keep us safe...

Classical liberalism (which I believe in) vs. modern liberalism:

OMG I feel so owned right now.

No, it's more that I just don't care if you mock me here. I'll respond to what I want, when I want.

I agree with most of your other comments though.

Young liberals don't need triggering. You live your lives in constant state of triggered.

Yes we are all just triggered. There are definitely no legitimate problems in the world. My life is great, everyone else must be doing great too.

Seeing all the horrible stuff going on in the world, and wishing we could be better, helping out our fellow man who is not as fortunate as me. That's what I care about. I don't consider myself a liberal or conservative. But liberals definitely are leading in the 'basic human decency' department, so I side with them more often.

I would hope that conservatives also want a better world, and understand that not everything is a-OK. And hopefully aren't so blind as to not see that there are lots of ****ing issues that need to be dealt with. I was hoping the thread could provide some insight on how Conservatives would like to solve these numerous problems. But silly me, they actually do just ignore all issues, enjoy their lives of privilege, ignoring all suffering in the world and just get off by 'triggering' liberals and then laughing at how triggered the liberals are.
 
One of the problems for conservatives these days is that they're lumped with such dirt-bags (and that's actually being kind to call them that) as DT and Ditch the Mitch. These men are so toxic and divisive, it sickens me every time I read something that they have said or in DT's case, or let's call him, DDT, has tweeted.

They aren't so much lumped in with them as much as they overwhelmingly support them. Trump currently enjoys a 90% approval rating among Republicans.
 
I guess a 20+ billion deficit seems like substantial to most people. The fact that you don’t see it that way is telling.

But I do see why you would want to dodge the question.

What's telling is you dont care about the deficit one bit. Why do you think we can all live on somebody else's credit card with no repercussions whatsoever?

Cortez is now pushing this MMT nonsense, we can print and spend to our hearts content. You can have whatever you want, just vote for her for class president. This theory that not even the most liberal [pretend] economist Paul Krugman doesn't buy. Did you read all his articles a decade ago or listen to him debate Galbraith on the subject? Forget professors, none of that matters because leading candidate AOC tells us fairy tales. If it's good enough for some dark corner of the internet it's good to go as long as AOC and the media tell us. We didnt land on th and moon either amirite?
