It's hilarious that the brainwashed igits on the "left" have ZERO idea what is conservative and what isn't. They have no fkng clue. CNN vomits it up and they are fighting over spoons to eat it up off of the floor.
The only "right" in politics is constitutionally conservative. "Moderates" are those on the fence with regard to some constitutional principles. The "left" is staunchly anti-constitution.
-Fascism is not conservative. It denies free speech to all.
-Socialism is not conservative. It denies some of the ability to pursue their livelihood while allowing and even funding others to pursue theirs at the expense of others.
-Communism is not conservative. It is fundamentally anti-rights and anti-choice. As with socialism, the collective overrules the individual in all matters.
-Islam is not conservative. It is a political system that is against freedom of speech and choice. There is no choice other than Islam.
-Racism is not conservative. It denies the personhood of anyone based on their physical attributes, and thus would deny rights to anyone based on things as superficial as skin color.
-Federalism is not conservative. It elevates the govt as rulers above the people rather than correctly defining them as servants of the people.
-Criminality is not conservative. Abuse of the people and the law is unconstitutional. This is why conservatives turn on those within the Republican party when they are in violation of the constitution. Liberals embrace them FOR THE SAME REASON, as long as they bend the knee.
Conservatism is a belief in allowing adults to make good or bad choices for themselves, but not allowing the bad choices to go unaccounted for legally speaking. In other words-
- If you choose to have intercourse and conceive, you chose the result/consequences as well.
- If you choose to murder someone, you have chosen to forfeit your own life.
- If you cause someone to defend themselves (and that for which they are responsible), you have chosen the result of that defense even if it means your death.
- If you choose to deny someone else of their God given rights, whether acting alone or in concert with a govt official or dept, you and any accomplices accept the loss of your individual and collective rights and confiscation of and return of all property gained by the unconstitutional acts in your possession or passed on to others. In the event that any property was destroyed then restitution through other means is required to make whole the person and/or family wronged.
This is just a summary and some examples for those that dont comprehend the differences. It is by no means an exhaustive or complete list, but it should give most people some clarity (providing they have reasoning ability).
