Are today's Southern Conservatives any different than Southern Conservatives from the Civil War?

[Pheonixops]

There are plenty of Modern Liberals like myself who are closer to and have roots to so-called 18th century Liberalism and the Enlightenment Movement than to Socialism and Marxism. Much closer than many so-called Modern and past conservatives. We just have a more updated version of Liberalism. For example we believe: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-"

We updated it to mean men and women of all races have those unalienable rights, we certainly would support chattel slavery or any state that would deny a human being of those inalienable rights.

Your version of liberalism is updated to include supporting socialism, which is just another form of slavery.

What "socialism" do you think I support? Now granted, just like Ben Carson *(1996 &2012) I do support some government run programs (like FEMA for instance) but I don't think that we should be a socialist country.
This is the same hero that recently called Obamacare "the worst thing that happened in our country since slavery.".
LOL
Articles Ben Carson s Problematic Views on Health Care

Do you support the following?

Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Obamacare
Public Schools
Public Universities
Welfare of any kind
Interstate Highways
High speed rail
Space program
EPA
SEC
FDA
FCC

Social Security: Sure because most workers in this country are already invested into the Social Security system. BUT , I'm not against a program where people can opt out of it and have their own private "social security" as long as they don't go running to the government if something catastrophic happens or they go broke.

Medicare: It should be voluntary if one wants to opt out "as they don't go running to the government if something catastrophic happens or they go broke".

Medicaid: Poor people do need access to healthcare, this benefits society at large. Imagine if some poor person caught the ebola virus (or the like) and was too poor to see a doctor and get treatment, thus having the ability to spread a deadly contagious disease to everyone, including rich people.

Obamacare: I'm disappointed that he didn't keep his promise to make it VOLUNTARY and NOT mandatory (thus following the lead of the Heritage plan). So the answer is NO.

Public Schools: I have no problem with public schools because they are pretty much VOLUNTARY, if people want to opt out they can home school or send their children to a private school as long as they don't use services (that they don't pay for) that are meant for public school children.

Public Universities: Same as above.

Welfare of any kind: "Don't be afraid of the angry man, be afraid of the hungry man.". I have no problem with it as long as it is not finite and they have to pay back their benefits before they can get on it again.

Interstate Highways: Of course!!!!

High speed rail: What about it? Many private companies will benefit from it.

Space program: Sure because it helps with our national security.

EPA: Of course, who would want some idiots dumping toxins in our waterways and poisoning us?

SEC: Sure, we have enough ponzi schemes to deal with already.

FDA: See my EPA answer.

FCC: In a very limited role.

By "opt out" you don't mean opt out of paying for the program, so it's meaningless. You support the program. You're a socialist. As for the three letter agencies, there are other ways of handing such problems without creating vast oppressive government bureaucracies.

Where did I state that? If you reread what I said you can see where I wrote this regarding "opting out": "as long as they don't go running to the government if something catastrophic happens or they go broke" .
I support the people's right to participate or not participate in the program.

I would be interested in seeing what you propose to replace those agencies.

That's right, run away like a scared little puppy with your tail between your legs.

You're a loser and a coward.

Your a fucking idiot. Your boys..the loser confederates...were nothing but peddlers of human flesh that didnt know when the gig was up.

You added what you usual add to a thread: nothing.

You loser confederate rednecks add nothing to life. Youre like a shitstain in the boxers of America.

Mockers and haters don't add anything positive to life, period.

I thought it sufficient to just call them losers and rednecks.

That's about all you are capable of.
