A Place for Conservatives

Sure. The reason the sun "rises" and "sets" is because the earth spins on an axis. So, there's only one side that faces the sun at one time. The spinning creates the illusion that the sun rises and sets for us. This axis run roughly north-to-south, through the center of the planet. It's amazing any of this happened before capitalism.

Though capitalism is not perfect, it is quite evident that its benefits far out way the negatives...

Here are some benefits of capitalism or reasons against socialism for those that are interested:

Some of the conservative ideas I believe in:

  • I believe in God and that He created this Earth and all of us. I believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that His Atonement is real. - Do you believe this while shunning science or do you reconcile the two, if so, how?
  • I believe the climate is changing, has continually changed and will continue to change. I do not believe that the world will end in 12 years as @AOC believes. Global warming is garbage. - 97% of scientists, and common sense. Maybe answering the previous question is unnecessary.
  • Liberalism kills growth and destroys economies pretty much wherever it is tried, i.e. Chicago, California, Detroit - Don't even know what this means.
  • Individual rights - Vague, but sure.
  • I can manage myself without government intervention - Vague again, but depending on specifics, sure.
  • I want an option to privatize my own retirement. - You do you, I don't have many thoughts on this.
  • Raising taxes to give the government more power is idiotic - More power like the laughably over-funded military? Or like basic health care for citizens? Or education?
  • I have the right to a gun to defend myself and my family and hunt for food if necessary. If you add more stupid laws restricting gun access, all that means is that the bad guys will have the guns. - Hasn't been the case anywhere else. There are discussions to be had, but the fact that schools are being shot up, and mass killings have become a daily thing while people hide behind the second amendment is terrible. The NRA is an evil organization.
  • Government should be as small as possible. All wasteful organizations should be eliminated. People that suck at their jobs in the government sector should be fired just as they would in the private sector. - Again it would depend on what you actually mean by this, but eliminating waste is good. And ****** politicians being run out sounds good. But that is a massive overhaul.
  • Unions should be disbanded and are no longer necessary. - Based on what?
  • Abortion is 99% evil and is killing an unborn child. I would only consider in cases of incest or rape or the mother's life is in danger. - No, there is a line to be drawn and discussions to be had. But that is BS. Women deserve to choose what happens to their own bodies. A first trimester fetus is not a baby.
  • The right to life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness. I have the right to pursue it. That does not mean the government should try and give it to me. - And if you came from the slums with no parents and no support system would you feel the same? Do those people deserve no help? Shouldn't the playing field be level? Or at least shouldn't that be what we aspire too?
  • Minimum wage laws do more damage than they help. All they mean is that companies start cutting back hours and firing the people that have the jobs. - Yes, big corporations are largely evil with no ethics whatsoever. We need to get them into line, not punish their employees. I don't know the best way to do it, but continually not addressing the real issue is annoying.
  • I would like term limits in Congress. No one should be there for more than 10 years. - Sure
  • I believe in and prefer actual discourse and sharing of opinions over fighting and bickering. (that does not mean I will not fight back however or stop mocking beliefs I think deserve mocking) - That does not seem to be the case since it took you 7 pages to post any opinions of your own. But it's a good motto to use.

The funniest thing about this is that Heathme thinks he's blowing everyone's mind with his pamphlet-level knowledge of capitalism.

Nope, hadn't even crossed my mind. This is simply an outlet for posting political thoughts. If even one brainwashed liberal has a different thought then that would work for me too.

You've hardly done anything but bash liberals and shout slogans about capitalism. Whatever, though. Have your outlet.

Finally, what? The articles and posts throughout this thread have been my opinion...

That was the first time you wrote something down that was actually your opinion. Posting articles is easy.

And that's your whole response? After I went through every single one of your bullet points which were basically just off of a Conservative/Tea Party pamphlet.

No extra insight, no answering of the questions, no reaction?

Every single one of your responses was a daily Kos, New York times, CNN, liberal pamphlet. No need to respond.
