What a true Conservative believes. Please dispute anything in this.

It's an exaggeration of conservative beliefs. Conservatives are reasonable people who aren't locked into a certain dogma. They respect the sanctity of human life but understand the consequences of rape and incest. They hope for peace throughout the world but understand that the U.S. can't afford to support countries that can't support themselves.
 
Too easy. Point #1.

I believe in the genius of the Constitution of the United States and the express limitations that it imposes upon government. I believe that the men who crafted it, imperfect as they were, were men of exceptional vision.

I saw no Conservatives condemn the Supreme Court granting the president near unlimited power with their ruling on immunity for nearly anything a president does.
The COITUS Established a Foster Government, Treating Citizens Like Orphan Children
 
I won't vote democrat. Too far out there. When the gop stands with unions, praises social security and Medicare I will vote for them. Until then nope.
Paper Tigers Belong on Boxes of Frosted Flakes

Take the Party away from its manipulators. That's been done before; those who kowtow to a party's Establishment become Cash Cows. There's no reason to go begging to these spoiled and smug. weaklings. Those behind the scenes are little men hiding behind a curtain of blowhard propaganda and intimidation.
 
I believe in the sanctity of private property, including the right to retain the lion’s share of what one lawfully earns. I believe in the right to dispose of that property as one sees fit, even from beyond the grave.

Asset forfeiture and eminent domain disagree with you.

The Court didn't grant the President any powers, the US Constitution does
 
This is from Paul Gleiser. I agree with everything in it, and this explains why I am a Conservative.

Can anyone point out what in this would make anyone a “Nazi”, “racist”, or “misogynist “.

I believe in the sovereignty of the individual. Therefore I believe in personal responsibility. I believe in the duty of self help and in the freedom that flows from self-reliance.

I believe that people can be trusted with their own lives. I believe in the positive forces attendant to free individuals ordering their affairs and expending their energies without interference and in such a way as they themselves determine to be best.

I believe in the duty of charity toward those, who through no fault of their own, cannot adequately provide for themselves or mitigate their own suffering. I believe that a good and decent society looks after those who cannot look after themselves.

I believe in the dignity of labor and in the soul-robbing ignominy of idleness.

I believe in failure. I believe that the lessons learned in failure contribute indispensably to eventual success. I believe that the freedom to fail is inseparable from the freedom to succeed.

I believe in thrift – particularly as it pertains to the use of money taken by taxation.

I believe in the sanctity of human life and the profound responsibility that falls upon those who bring a new child into the world. I believe in mothers and fathers. I believe in the duty incumbent upon them to sacrifice of themselves, to the best of their ability, toward the goal of turning the child they created into a self-sufficient adult.

I believe in enterprise and in the creative forces for good that enterprise unleashes. Toward its advancement, I believe in fair, predictable regulation that is only so limiting as is necessary to impartially protect the interests of businesses, citizens, taxpayers and consumers.

I believe that humankind will always live in a world beset by strife, tragedy, illness, suffering, poverty, mayhem and malfeasance. I believe that while attempts to mitigate such dark forces are appropriate wherever they may be effectively applied, sweeping, ill-considered efforts born of hubris to eradicate such forces altogether will always fail.

I believe in risk. I believe that to avoid risk too vigorously is to foreclose the possibility of living life to its fullest.

I believe in the power of dispersed knowledge. I believe that innovation and the solutions to problems are much more likely to come from the bottom up than the top down.

I believe in economic freedom. I believe that for all of the admitted faults of free-market capitalism, it has nevertheless done more to lift humankind out of poverty than any other economic system ever devised.

I believe that government is at once necessary and dangerous. I believe that governments are constituted of humans and that humans can never be trusted not to abuse power over other humans. Thus I believe in the smallest government possible consistent with defending the peace and enabling the free conduct of commerce.

Most of all, I believe that this is the day the Lord has made, and that so far as our human limitations will allow, we should rejoice, and be glad in it.

That’s what I believe. What about you?
I believe in/agree with all of them.
 
I feel like if you say one thing but do another it is a lie. They had a comment about dignity of the worker then they support a party that shits on union protections.
Big Unions are big business and sold out the worker long ago. Unions had a purpose and fulfilled it long ago now most are just a business to make money for their bosses and shit on the union members.
 
Conservatism and liberalism aren't the problem. We need dynamic, intelligent voices across the political spectrum. And we need the innovation that comes from collaboration. In other words, NEW stuff. Like our Constitution was NEW stuff. Not just left wing ideology or right wing ideology being crammed down our throats 24/7.

But the ends of the spectrum have become so ideological that we've somehow managed to split into two fucking competing REALITIES.

And the deck hands on the Titanic are busy pointing the finger at the other.

Thats cause it didn't it reaffirmed what was a fact before this administration started using the law to attack its political opponents.

I agree with all of it except the religious part. And by that I mean only that freedom of religion ought to be always safe-guarded including rhe right of individuals not to believe at all.

Other than that, I have difficulty in understanding why so many of our liberals fight so much of it tooth and nail.

That is very well written.
