Conservative Hypocrisy

[thereisnospoon]

Put plainly: conservatives want a country where they get big government
benefits and small government restrictions, while imposing small government benefits
and big government restrictions on everybody else.

Despite claiming to support a small and unobtrusive government, the
conservative movement has pushed heavily for increased governmental regulations
on personal activities that they find objectionable—gay marriage and abortion
rights being the most common things that modern conservatives decry and attempt
to legislate away.

Conservatives don’t see these restrictions as “big government
overreach” simply because such regulations don’t overreach into THEIR lives,
only the lives of others. The conservative hypocrisy in the realm of social
issues is indicative of their ideological mindset and gives us a clear look
into the conservative views on the size of government.

If conservatives truly claim to be about small government and personal responsibility, they why do they consistently act counter to this claim?

An imagination like yours could make you a millionaire...If you had an ounce of ambition.

young people

sorry dear but young people are different so the Constitution forbids them to run for president

yet when they reach a certain age, they obtain those rights automatically.

dear our subject was not whether they got rights at a certain age but whether the Constitution treated people differently based on age or length of residence in US or other factors.

GOt it now???

prove the statement is false then.

 

[thereisnospoon]

making stuff up really doesnt help your argument. Straw men suck.

prove me wrong.

Rule number one...We do not prove negatives here.

Conservatives are for smaller and less expensive, confusing and complicated bureaucracy. Maybe that's a foreign concept on the left coast which is drowning under a sea of red tape with confiscatory taxes to fund useless bureaucratic bull shat. Abortions are an expensive waste of human life and even Bill Clinton said he wanted to keep them rare. Abortion is still legal but Conservatives don't want to pay for them. That should be easy enough to understand even to victims of the sub-standard union based left coast education system.

how does any of this address the issue of hypocrisy I addressed in the original post?

The question on the table is if conservatives truly claim to be about small government and personal responsibility, they why do they consistently act counter to this claim? can you stay on topic?

You addressed nothing. You rendered an opinion. It begins and ends there.

I think this explains why the left coast is truly the land of fruits and nuts.

better than the land of the poor and ignorant like the south and midwest.

It took less than one page for you to invoke a false stereotype.
Hit a nerve, did we?

actually the argument was whether you had the right to treat minorities of the population differently simply because they were different. age and length of residence were not brought into play until you did so just recently.

however if you would like more information, the reason that 18 is the age for the obtainment of certain legal rights is that it was established the people under the age of 18 did have the mental capacity to enter into contracts of any kind. and the requirement for running for president is 40 years of age, although it is not a right guaranteed to all citizens, but only natural born citizens.

and now you say its ok to treat minorities differently if their minority is based on age or residency?

the youth is not considered a minority, as the youth does not obtain full rights until the age of 18. at which point they have the full rights afforded them under the constitution.

the constitution does not declare that running for president is a right. it simply defines the criteria that one must meet in order to run for that office. to define rights you need to look at the bill of rights and the subsequent amendments.

still are you advocating that we treat people of our society differently under the eyes of the law?

children aren't adults, men aren't women, college graduates are not college dropouts, fireman are not scientists, etc etc. It is very legal to treat people differently. What planet have you been on?

People are not all the same so cant be treated the same.

typical violent liberal reduced to personal attack because he lacks the IQ for substance

 

[Staidhup]

Even in victory they (liberals) act and respond as if they are stuck in a defensive political campaign mode. It would indicate one of three issues; A) they are not comfortable within their own skin, B) recognize the futility and stupidity of their positions, or C) they are well aware the programs are smoke and mirrors and expect the outcome to be disclosed as such and desperately need to have an excuse to explain their failure. Men are created equal under the law, however their talents and accomplishments are the result of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice.

yet you avoid actually answering the questions because you dont believe that all men are created equal. in your ignorant mind you believe that you are in fact superior

easy, you failed to address the equal protection clause of the constitution.

you think it is up for interpretation, since you are willing to limit the rights of the LGBT community by taking away their right to marriage through legislation.

easy, the post does not exist in this thread. here is your exact statement referring to legally being able to treat people differently:

"It is very legal to treat people differently. What planet have you been on? People are not all the same so cant be treated the same."

hence you advocate treating citizen differently in the eyes of the law.

please don't act like an liberal idiot. Old people are different. They get social security for example

not everyone gets social security. if you didnt pay into the system then you dont get any benefits.

you are not only a failure, you are an epic failure.
