Was watching some of the Charlie Rose show on PBS the other night and they had the lone republican leaning independent of MSNBC Joe Scarborough and he brought up that what he misses most and sees missing from todays conservative republicans is the compassion of the Reagan years and sees that as a major hole that needs to be filled and went on to talk about how all he sees is hate out of todays party and I have to agree. Get rid of the hate filled fear mongering propaganda machine that is todays conservative and get back to the true roots of what conservatism is all about and you guys will bounce back. Stop listening to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Shawn Hannity and think about what conservatism was founded on and you can get some control back.
Conservatism is by its very nature compassionate... which does NOT MEAN THAT WE SUBSIDIZE NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR, THUS FORCING PEOPLE WHO SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SUCH BEHAVIOR TO CONTINUAL CALAMITY...
Many people erroneously feel that such is the case... and we call those people LEFTISTS... even when they prefer "Centrists" or "MODERATES" or "INDEPENDENTS"... and that is because that species of reasoning is a function of LEFT-THINK!
