I believe I know what they oppose:
No to Federal regulations--or yes to deregulation
No to gun controls--or yes to gun ownership;
No to taxes--or yes to low taxes;
No to abortion--or yes for life;
No to gay/lesbian marriage--or yes to religious definition of marriage;
No to single payer universal health care--or yes to private insurance
No to stem cell research--yes to ethics in science;
No to deficit spending--yes to balanced budget;
No to campaign finance restrictions--yes to private campaigns finances
No to sex education at any age--yes to abstinence programs;
No to welfare--yes to personal responsibilty;
No to Medicare--yes for healthcare saving accounts;
No to Social Security--yes to private savings account;
No to the Democratic Party--yes to Conservative princples;
No to the Republican Party--yes to Conservative candidates..
If this is an accuate description of the new right, what do they support? And, what would our society look like if they prevailed?
It is only a matter of changing a "No" to a "Yes" to understand what the Conservatives support.
I'm not going to go through all these, but for a few, the anti Americanism and the lack of compassion are standouts.
religious definition - what if you have no mystical or supernatural beliefs. Why should you have to suffer other's "fantasies"?
abstinence programs - Should we stick to something that doesn't work? Why? Isn't that the definition of "stupid"?
private savings account - what if someone is incapicitated? So what? What if a man spends his money on his family and his kids die? Then he has nothing in his old age? Should be go homeless?
See, for conservatives, they just don't care about others. It's all about ideology.
