Yea, thought so.
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Ronald Reagan
Pre tea party of course.
Him?
Differentiate?
It's inconceivable.

Myself, I'll always choose an ideology that has not historically culminated in either starving its people to death or shooting them in the head and burying them in mass graves. Progressive ideology ultimately becomes not compatible with freedom because it goes against human nature. Compliance is a requirement and those that won't must cease to exist.....
Not even close, but keep trying.That doesn't bear any resemblance to actual political history. The conservative tradition was precisely about valuing traditional ways of doing things and objecting to rapid change, and above all it involved being suspicious of attempts to design social and economic systems based on abstract reason rather than tradition. That's why it's called 'conservatism'. At times that included acceptance of existing 'tax and spend' policies. Your rejection of British monarchical rule was supposedly about objecting to taxation, was it not? The conservative position was to support the monarchy and the taxation that went with it.
After the industrial revolution you first had the rise of liberalism, then an increasing merger of liberalism and conservatism, as the industrialist class, that gave rise to liberalism, increasingly embraced the values of the old land-owning class, and vise-versa. So the distinction between the two has become rather confused (Thatcher was much more a liberal than a conservative)
You seem to want to use the word 'conservative' as a label for neo-liberal. Americans do love changing the English language in novel ways, but you don't get to retrospectively change the meaning of words with fantasies about 'as far back as history records'.
LOL everybody is speaking, that's a lot of the problem. Anyone can say anything on social media and other idiots start to believe it and parrot it.Not in a system where money is speech and corporations are people.

Yea, it's as if the president himself was regurgitating tweets from hate groups that have been proven to be false, or something.LOL everybody is speaking, that's a lot of the problem. Anyone can say anything on social media and other idiots start to believe it and parrot it.
alt right?? more like alt ctrl del.True, reality is "not even close" to your fantasy alternative-history. But carry on living in your alt-right dream-world, by all means. You'll have a meeting with reality one day, I'm sure.
Not to mention the loser of the election.Yea, it's as if the president himself was regurgitating tweets from hate groups that have been proven to be false, or something.
handicap some demographics with social programs
It really has gone full circle. Liberals are the new outdated-thinking conservatives. I was thinking about posting about this actually. Liberal ideology has for so long been the mainstream that I think the real counter culture that is rising goes against their outdated views. Today the liberals push for institutionalized racist policies like affirmative action and handicap some demographics with social programs. Today the liberals are intolerant of any thinking outside their very strict and totalitarian views. Today it is the liberals that will fight tooth and nail to shut down free speech to a public audience they find distasteful or don't agree with. The liberals ignore parts of the constitution to push for their partisan views. And they're worse to Trump than the right was to Obama. The left really has to do some soul searching.
You forgot about them trying to rewrite history by defacing our national monuments and removing anything they find distasteful for any reason or no reason at all.It really has gone full circle.

Free speech is only ok if it is a speech you yourself would make.It's been fun watching Trump destroy the GOP from within. The more crazy he appears, the more the lunatic fringe embraces him and outs themselves! You can read it in the desperation of their posts here as the fervently tag socks in and out to do their bidding! It's beautiful to watch so many expose themselves as insane and quite frankly not worthy of the title American as they lap up Trump's rhetoric like it was mothers milk...

"No republic has long outlived the discovery by a majority of its people that they could vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.
Alexander Fraser Tytler"
The difference is that some of us hope to curtail it, not expand it.
Of course not, private charities and churches step up to help people. Much like Chick-fil-a stepped forward to help travelers in Atlanta. You want to force the government and other taxpayers to do it for you since you don't do it on your own.Standard right wing tome & quite ironic given the borrowing & tax giveaway to America's wealthiest unfolding before us.
The whole headset is entirely screwed up, anyway. I mean, should any of our fellow Americans stumble & fall we should just turn our backs on them, right?
