A Place for Conservatives

[Zombie]

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.

And you wonder why you're not taken seriously....

I am really starting to like this Senator. It is nice to have someone fighting back against the crap in Washington.

I do not read or watch Fox News all that often but this article has a lot of truth in it.

What's weird is conservative politics are not conservative. Hence the conservative vs. liberal labeling is flawed.

Here is a little liberal on liberal discussion. The poor guy cannot even call himself a capitalist because he'll be ostracized but the Democrat party... Socialism sucks, has always sucked and will continue to suck in the future.

"Ronald Reagan loved telling a joke about the Soviet Union that he claimed was one the Soviets told themselves. One person asks another—”Is this it? Have we finally reached peak socialism?” To which the answer comes: “Oh no. Things are going to have to get a lot worse.”

The other joke, suddenly deadly accurate, is: “What did socialists use for light before candles?” Answer: “Electricity.”"

Stay on topic please. This thread is supposed to be about conservative views and topics not liberals.

I would agree, I would characterize them as radical right wing, conservatism is generally characterized by a respect for institutions, traditional social arrangements, respect for the law, public and political conventions like honesty in public office and maintaining supply. These are generally conservative values, the Republican party does not adhere to these values at all they are a party of radicals, using a divisive social agenda to pursue predatory economic policy.

Shouldn’t you have thrown in the obligatory “Murdoch press” for good measure ??

I still try to hold on to some conservative values. In college, I was heavily influenced by conservative icons like Edmund Burke, Michael Oakeshott and Raymond Aron, but over the last ten years especially, their ideas and influence has been trashed by the reactionary right. No question that traditional conservatism is a dying philosophy.
