Conservative of the Year Named

[AllieBaba]

Conservatives will tell you that Powell isn't a conservative....not since he backed Obama anyway.

What is with you guys?
I think you're just trying to change the nature of the conservative party, as you've attempted to change the nature of marriage, by insisting that it's something it's not, and thereby bringing it closer to your own world view.

Powell is NOT a conservative. Ask him!

Sarah Palin is the epitome of conservatism...as is evinced by the selection of her as the CONSERVATIVE OF THE ******* YEAR.

Do you really think you have the authority to change the definition of conservatism?

 

[Zyrosis]

Ron Paul should have won.

Great point.

I think Sarah Palin should be the face of conservatives and of the GOP for years to come. Well said.

 

[sealybobo]

Colin Powell is so not conservative...he never has been. He's barely Republican.

Really? I would have thought that Powell was a true conservative and just like all other true conservatives, he distanced himself from Bush.

Powell says he still remains a Republican.

You see Allie, when a party gets totally corrupted like yours has, the good people in your party, like Powell, usually speak out.

But of course anyone who doesn't go along with EVERYTHING Bush did is a traitor. Let me guess, all because abortion is your number one issue.

Was Bush a conservative?

I'm not trying to redefine anything but thank you for the over-reaction...we can always count on you for that Allie

I have no clue what a TRUE conservative is because the ideal has become so convoluted over the years IMO. Bush ran as a compassionate conservative.... did he not? So you all claiming he wasn't or isn't a conservative seems like revisionist history to me. You don't like some of the things he did so you want to shove him off on the other side so they get the blame. sorry, Bush is the face of the Republican party and the Republican party is the face of conservatives.... deal with it.

So how would he be defined as a Liberal then? You keep saying what defines him as a Conservative but what defines him as a Liberal?

More moderate....

Not conservative does not inherently mean liberal

 

[DiveCon]

From Wikipedia:

thanks for proving my point

hes a moderate
and there is nothing wrong with that
had he run for POTUS as a republican this year, i likely would have voted for him

hell, if he had run as a democrat, and got the nomination(highly unlikely) i would have voted for him over McCain too

 

[sealybobo]

The **** he was a moderate.

 

[AllieBaba]

Again. Since the libtards cannot accept the definition of conservatism:
The Origins of the Modern American Conservative Movement
"The central idea of The Conservative Mind, upon which American conservatism is essentially based, is ordered liberty. It is a blending of the sometimes contending requirements of the community and the individual, of individual freedom and individual responsibility, of limited government and unlimited markets.

Kirk described six basic "canons" or principles of conservatism:

A divine intent, as well as personal conscience, rules society;
Traditional life is filled with variety and mystery while most radical systems are characterized by a narrowing uniformity;
Civilized society requires orders and classes;
Property and freedom are inseparably connected;
Man must control his will and his appetite, knowing that he is governed more by emotion than by reason; and
Society must alter slowly."

Colin Powell a conservative. HA! A conservative would never, ever, in a MILLION years back Obama in any way, shape or form.

Let that anti-female, anti-big-city-dweller bigotry shine on through.

Me too!

 

[Red Dawn]

Let that anti-female, anti-big-city-dweller bigotry shine on through.

Well, I am from the anti-american parts of America.

P.S.- I've never slammed palin for being a woman. I've actually went out of my way to defend her against bias and sexism. Nice try, though. I believe it was your conservative male buddies that were drooling all over her, calling her a "babe", and dreaming of having sex with her.

I slam her for being an unqualified NeoCon.

Us liberal guys must take some of the blame for over here, calling her babe, at her when she walked by and that one day we might have sex with that milf.

I aint gonna lie.

Really? Justified by exactly what behavior/action?

 

[del]

"A moderate Republican, Powell is well known for his willingness to support liberal or centrist causes."

i'll go out on a limb and guess this means he's a moderate, neither wholly liberal nor conservative. hell, robert, you posted it!

She didn't do shit in Alaska. It's easy to run Alaska when gas is $4 a gallon. Let's see how she does with these gas prices.

"The central idea of The Conservative Mind, upon which American conservatism is essentially based, is ordered liberty. It is a blending of the sometimes contending requirements of the community and the individual, of individual freedom and individual responsibility, of limited government and unlimited markets.{/quote]

so a conservative is all about individual freedom and responsibility but only insomuch as pertains to their OWN moral code, right? they have no qualms about trying to dictate to me what my individual freedom as a woman should be nor do they want me to take personal responsibility for my actions if that means aborting a fetus....BUT OMG if I decide to have the baby, I better not ask for any government assistance, even if I can't afford the baby....then it's back to my individual freedome and responsibility and I shouldn't expect the government to solve my problems for me.

and oh yes, those free markets...those are a grand idea.... they worked so well over the last 8+ years that we're now in the longest reccession since the great depression! Let's hear it for free markets.... even idiots like Bush agree that the free market is a pipe dream! Businesses will always do what's best for themselves and their profits...they won't regulate themselves for the greater good...they will grab what they can and **** everyone else.

Yeah, except create jobs and bring money in. Oh, and give money back to her constituents.

 

[sealybobo]

Why would she take money from corporations and give them to people that don't deserve it? They didn't work for it. Isn't that socialism?

From what I hear, Palin is ok with taking federal tax dollars from the lower 48 and giving it to her constituents. Isn't that pork?

Do you ever get emails from Richard Viguerie? I think he is your soulmate:
