Are you a conservative?

[Wry Catcher]

In my mind I've categorized conservative into several sub-types. Help me, and others who are not conservatives which sub-type of conservative best defines you in terms of voting, domestic and foreign policies, and the wedge issues (guns, god, gays, taxes and abortion).

To be fair, I'll post why I'm a liberal Democrat:

• I have empathy for the working poor, the drug an alcohol dependent, the mentally ill, physically ill and the aged, children and animals;
• I abhor war and believe diplomacy can be an effective deterrent to war. Thus I oppose Brinkmanship, belligerence and bellicose rhetoric;
• I support the United Nations, NATO and joint missions into space with other nations, allies or otherwise;
• I support the Olympics, World Soccer and other competition wherein American's interact with others no matter their ethnicity, creed, sex or sexual orientation;
• I believe every American citizen should enjoy the same rights and opportunities as every other person;
• I support a Congress which supports Universal Suffrage for all citizens in every general election. [Those without a proper picture ID ought to be informed that their member of H. or Rep. will provide them at no cost a proper ID with evidence they were born in the US or are naturalized citizens];
• I support free public education, free preventative care for all citizens (age appropriate physical examinations, age appropriate inoculations and age appropriate curriculum in public schools on health and dental care, procreation and (age appropriate) means to prevent pregnancy and STD's.
• I support a US AG to remove Marijuana from schedule I, and add Tobacco to that schedule.

So, which type of conservative are you:

1. Callous Conservative
2. Fiscal Conservative
3. Social Conservative
4. Goldwater Conservative
5. Neoconservative
6. Single Issue voter:

• Guns
• Gays
• Taxes
• Abortion
• White Supremacist

Powerful thread brother.

I agree w/much of these sentiments.

 

[tycho1572]

I’ll start with this one.......

• I have empathy for the working poor, the drug an alcohol dependent, the mentally ill, physically ill and the aged, children and animals;

The working poor should get an education or learn a skill.
There are a lot of resources available for those with drug/alcohol dependency and mental illness.
I’m big on protecting the elderly, young, and animals. I’m also good with helping those with physical disabilities.

 

[sparky]

well thought/written Wry

but what of us that once had great empathy, and came full circle?

[tycho1572]

• I abhor war and believe diplomacy can be an effective deterrent to war. Thus I oppose Brinkmanship, belligerence and bellicose rhetoric;

War is sometimes the only option when diplomacy fails.

 

[harmonica]

conservative/liberal are dumbass terms
.....I'm against criminals/ILLEGALS--this is not conservative or liberal--but common sense/logical..why would you be pro-illegality/criminals/criminality??

 

[tycho1572]

• I support the United Nations, NATO and joint missions into space with other nations, allies or otherwise;

I do when they’re paying their fair share. American taxpayers shouldn’t be saddled with paying more than our share.

 

[harmonica]

EVERYBODY should abhor war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..this doesn't make you con or lib

I have sympathy for the poor, but I'm unable to put myself in their position so, I have no empathy.

You are far from a liberal. You statists took over a perfectly good and respectable brand.
STOP IT
Liberal and democrat is an oxymoron.
No, i am not a conservative.

" I believe every American citizen should enjoy the same rights and opportunities as every other person; "

Doesn't seem like it if you are a white male or a Christian. Or wealthy. Or Jewish. Or hold different views from the Liberal Democrats. And you guys don't seem to care a whole lot about future generations either, you have no problem killing them 5 minutes before they are born. Or in some cases 5 minutes after birth. Or leaving your kids and grandkids an ungodly amount of debt that they'll have to pay for. Newsflash: raising taxes on the rich just ain't going to feed that bulldog.

As a conservative person myself, I can say that I don't like those who deny the same rights and opportunities to the LGBTs, minorities, and those whose views differ from my own. I can tell you that I really don't like running up huge debt/deficits every year, neither political party has the high road there. I can tell you that I do not support interminable wars, nor do I support tariffs and protectionism. I do not support the UN, I think they are a bunch of thieves and the US can put the money we give to them to much better and more effective use than they've been doing.

I think there is significant voter fraud in this country and I see no reason why we shouldn't ensure that those who are legally entitled to vote can and those who aren't don't. I think that hundreds of billions spent on Climate Change so far has been money wasted, and I see no reason to throw good money after bad. I see no reason why we shouldn't have an effective physical border on our southern border, and it is beyond hypocritical for the lib/dems to deny funding for that when they themselves were for it just a few years before.

I think the ACA was a failure, UHC is a foolish idea that isn't fiscally feasible, and we damn well better reform our entitlement programs before they go bankrupt. I think it's about time we were honest with the American people, if they want free stuff then they'll have to pay higher taxes for whatever it is. And not just the wealthy, but EVERYBODY. That's how they do it in those wonderful socialist democracies that Bernie Sanders loves, you don't have half the populace paying no income taxes anywhere else. Are you so blinded by your ideology that you cannot see the plain truth in front of you? Namely that we don't have the effing money to pay for all those wonderful programs and policies that you guys want.

I’m good with marijuana being removed from the list of schedule 1 drugs. I’m not good with tobacco being added.

Done.
Time for another brew,

[Deplorable Yankee]
