Can we list some good things about conservatives:

[Moonbeam]

I will start out with loyalty and family values.

I would like a conservative with me in a fox hole because they are faithful to folk on their side.

I also like folk who honor and take care of their family. I do wish however, their families were as large as mine.

 

[blankslate]

You always know where they stand. (well usually)

Even new information won't shake their ingrained beliefs.

They like guns. So do I.

 

[Atreus21]

They tend to stick to their convictions. I prefer that to marching to whatever drumbeat happens to be in vogue. Not to say that this is what liberals do.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Passionate about what they believe in, driven to maintain that position that they hold dear without much waivering at all.

 

[dank69]

There is no limit to their imagination.

 

[soulcougher73]

They tend to stick to their convictions only when it serves them. I prefer that to marching to whatever drumbeat happens to be in vogue. Not to say that this is what conservatives do.

FTFY

 

[soulcougher73]

Still thinking....

 

[Steeplerot]

Yet conservatism is literally the status quo itself, with the elites making the shit up with giant think tanks.

Conservatism is nothing but a made-up fantastyworld to provide corporate PR and teach the common man to work against his own interests -for theirs.

Like usual, the ones who think themselves "rebels" of a society -are but the actual pawns.

Mass media + deregulation = modern tabloid conservatism selling its booty for ratings like a 5 dollar streetwhore.

What was once something related to governing a society is now just another name brand for consumption.

And conservatives damn well know coke rules, because coke TOLD them pepsi is out to destroy the world, thus should never be tasted.

If you ever think outside the box you break the first rule of the cultist mindset. Knowledge is betrayal.

Baloney. You guys are as much in favor of the status quo as we are when it suits your agenda. The rest of what you said is just tired, lazy propaganda.

 

[Atreus21]

I agree with your original post.

FTFY.

 

[etrigan420]

Their love of firearms.

 

[Phokus]

Conservatives won't let trivial things like reality and facts get in the way of their beliefs. I admire that about them. They think with their guts and not their brains, unlike those pussy liberals.

[Spungo]

I'm a liberal and I agree with this. It bothers me how many liberals want to change things just for the sake of change. Take the example of the .50 caliber sniper rifle. Even members of my own family have said "who needs a gun like that?" as if that were a valid excuse to ban such a weapon. Now we're down to banning things just because they are not commonly used? wtf? How often does someone rob a store with a $2000 precision rifle? Never. You can talk about how dangerous guns are but this boils down to simple economics. Nobody buys the most expensive gun possible then uses it to steal $200. Almost all gun crime involves small cheap weapons that can be purchased for $500 or less.

I like the healthy pessemism conservatives have about most new ideas. They don't jump in with both feet and commit billions of dollars to some project that might be a complete waste of time and money.

And how is that any different than liberals?

 

[Matt1970]

We don't have Moonbeam on our side.

Liberals tend to like things like Science. Conservatives believe evolution and global warming are some big government big science liberal conspiracies. And don't forget the earth is 'only' 6000 years old!

Conservatives don't lump the whole party together based on the opinions of a few extremists.

Liberals also are the ones that fully support having bastard children and no-fault divorce despite the fact that it leads to a 4x-5x increase in families living poverty, while at the same crying about needing more social programs to help people in poverty...

But hey those conservatives have some quaint ideas about the age of the Earth

 

[Phokus]

It's not that there are extremists in the party it's that the party is extremist. When the GOP candidates from 2008 were asked if they believed in evolution, only McCain said he did, several said they did not and the others were too cowardly to put it one way or the other.

And i remember Bush saying that the 'jury is out' on evolution (it's not).

Any political party that doesn't affirmatively acknowledge that evolution is real should get the same respect as a political party that believes the earth doesn't revolve around the sun.

LOL, it's conservatives who support having bastard children (see your stance on abstinence education/abortion) and what are you going to do, hold 2 adults together in matrimony at gunpoint to prevent divorce?

You conservatives are fucking retarded.

Edit: Evolution is 'quaint' too eh?

Yes, because clearly all conservatives are young earth creationists. I might as well say that all liberals are PETA whackos.

I'm getting so tired of these, "Goddamn it we are smarter than you" type threads.

Yeah, too bad young earth creationists are the base of the republican party while PETA is not the base of the democratic party. Creationism is a pretty big deal to conservatives. Why else do you think the GOP politicans were so scared to affirm support for evolution during the GOP debates?

Yeah. I can't believe I've never met a divorced conservative who had children out of wedlock. Seems odd.

Oh wait...

So stay out of threads you can't keep up in?
