What makes someone a “Conservative”?

[MarathonMike]

More ignorant white right wing idiocy.

Non pofit perform things that are helpful to society without asking for a profit. The leeches are the for-profit businesses that take in millions but ask for government subsidies, tax abatements, TIFFS, and other ways to not paying you fair share. I worked in Not for Profits and paid taxes on my income, while leeches like you and Trump got tax abatements an use every way you can find to not pay taxes then have the nerve to call somebody else a leech.

"Non-Profits" are a favorite of tool of the Left. They are often setup as shell organizations to launder money and promote anti-American activities.

Are you hitting on me? Weird. Trump is their kryptonite and yours. You can’t stop talking about him. Democrats want open borders, to defund the police and to tell our kids that gender is a social construct. Talk about weird. And you using my logic against me is also weird. You lie to yourself frequently. You’re not a Libertarian. You’re a Leftist.

Your sensitivity and emotions aside, I support a conservative point of view in national security, fiscal responsibility and personal accountability of our elected leadership. Your devotion to White Nationalism is against those values.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

In my opinion since this is an opinion forum and facts rarely matter:

1) Limited Govt. States and local rule over Federal rule when possible, which should lead to fiscal responsibility.

2) Personal responsibility over Govt is here to help

3) Support of Free Markets. Reasonable taxes. Reasonable regulation

4) Traditional values aka no furries, trans crap,
DEI

5) Strong and advanced military

6) Support strong border security and contolled
Legal immigration

7) Support strong law enforcement none of this cashless bail and such. Back the Blue

8) Support 2A

9) End birthright citizenship for illegals

10) Death penalty for convicted violent criminals

11) Pride in being an American

12) Reduce perpetual social programs and create a system of reward for work not for gaming the system

13) There are only two genders


Doesn’t sound so bad

Thoughts?

Very Cool, what a great thread, nice job.

1. Leave people alone. Let them be so long as they're not hurting anyone or shitting on your lawn or that of decency. The former is reason for the 2nd Amendment, Fkers.

2. Be respectful. That includes every MFing thing. Means be resourceful, choose spoils wisely, and few, treat Earth and species like God is watching because it earned it - I'm not Christian or a former religion. Come to think of it, I'm against Muslim taking control of country, what could go wrong? A direct assault on culture, decency, Christianity, traditions and everything. Fking libs, everyday is opposite day like they hate the country to its core.

3. FU bigly the movements like BLM, WOKE, and other 100 labels they stamp shit. Yeah sure, "we're racist". Libs destroy stuff, folks above them and twisted gain power, and society loses.

4. Control borders and crime. Consider taking limbs in lieu of prison time☺

5. Congrats USSC and Trump for sending Roe Wade where it belonged. Geezuz Crisps, only a lib. could bring such contradiction to this country's founding document. Dumbshits.

6. Be responsible, and put effort into independence mentally and physically. Don't reward bad behavior Democracks, help when it's rational and humane.

7. Respect tradition, as a group they're tried and true.

8. Call things as they are, don't be a leftist communist Muslim globalist POd lesbian with dumb and dangerous ideas cuz you're such a puss and needy. Keep politics out.

9. Conservative taxes, rules and ways. Keep shit simple, apply common sense instead of an absurd lesbian's dream of what should be, like Gavin Newsom.

10. A respectful justice system, free of politics. Wouldn't that be a bummer for leftists.

11. Spend as necessary so our country remains on top.

I can't think of anything else.

None of that is true. Literally zero. Seek help, old man

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

I have little hope any of you will change, Kiddo. Most of you are far to old to learn critical thinking at this point.

But enough about the left.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

A lender of last resort that bails out the commercial paper market or defrauded homebuyers?

Yeah, the profitable bailouts kept things from getting much, much worse.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Again, not following your complaints or train of thought.

He's a poor, whiny commie.

His train of thought is the California bullet train.

 

[Divine Wind]

You misunderstand. I said I never claimed they were conservative and I said that because you seemed to think I did. But I also never claimed they weren't either.

I don't have much interest political science or where one falls on the political spectrum. I will say that Trump and MAGA do not fall as close to fascism as a lot of people think. Trump was duly elected and in two years he will be gone.

Let me clarify; MAGAts are not conservative in the traditional Republican sense. They are very conservative in the Iranian Regime and ISIS sense; theocratic and authoritarian. MAGAts are the modern Pharisees who are seeking to wipe out "woke" Christians.

I did a google search to see if I could find a definition of “woke.” Google describes “woke” as being “alert to injustice in society, especially racism.” I think that fits well with my view of the Bible and teaching of Jesus. But that wasn’t the end of it, the next line read, "we need to stay angry, and stay woke"...

...Divisiveness has been around a long time. Racism is a sin. As a follower of Jesus, I want to be aware of and see the sin around me and do all I can to encourage righteousness and stand for justice. I have brothers and sisters of many ethnicities who are the same. But words carry meaning, labels often don’t help, and movements become burdened with many agendas. Some are hidden and some are blatant, but they often mess with a clear meaning. Therefore, we need to be wise, Biblical, thoughtful and courageous.

Is Woke compatible with Christianity?
I would prefer not to use the term, but to resonate with the message that people matter to God and how I respond to people matters to God (Genesis 12, Matthew 25, Acts 2). I preached a MESSAGE where we studied how God designed humanity with wonderful diversity and the need to hold a Biblical understanding that all people are made in the Image of God, the Imago Dei.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

As conservative as I am, I think the USA should consider putting a cap on the amount of real estate available to foreigners. Sure perhaps that would reduce the market values a bit, but I think the benefits to citizens and US society out-ways the cost in bunches. Look at this....

International buyers purchased $56 billion worth of U.S. homes from April 2024 to March 2025, primarily driven by investors from China, Canada, Mexico, India, and the U.K.

Calls me a Maggot again and denies calling me a maggot

MAGAt = maggot

Crazy old donkey

 

[Divine Wind]

Most often intense gullibility combined with a lower than average IQ.

Hey! Hey! Hey! It depends upon the conservative. MAGAts aren't called morons for nothing. They are clearly on the bottom of the totem pole as far as IQ goes, but conservatives like Goldwater, Reagan and GHW Bush were above average intelligence.

Happy to compare IQs

Go for it. What are you claiming is your IQ? When was the last time you were tested? Professionally tested, not some Facebook BS.

You whine a lot. If you really believe I've been name-calling you, have you and your friends reported me? Why do you keep drifting off your own topic and into lies and name-calling?

I've explained several times why I'm a conservative and what believe a conservative to be along what I believe one is not...such as a MAGAt.

Reporting is for pussies. You’re entitled to your opinion, old donkey. You’re not a conservative in my opinion. You’re a waste of life old liberal who doesn’t understand words he uses. It’s amusing and pathetic at the same time.

Where do non profits get most of their money from?

While I believe you scored above 100 20 years ago, but under 115, I also believe that for someone in their late 30s/early 40s that you have a maturity and low self-esteem of a teenager.

I was initially tested twice in the military, one 45 years ago and once again about 35+ years ago. The results were 138 and 143. Time and life has taken its toll on me so I doubt I'd score that high again. A cognitive test last year pegged me at "average for age". Not bad for a Goldwater Conservative, eh Defiler?

 

[Divine Wind]

Reporting is for pussies. You’re entitled to your opinion, old donkey.

So you just whine like a ***** but don't report like a *****? Interesting.

You’re not a conservative in my opinion.

Of course not. You support MAGA ideology which isn't conservative, it's "Alt Right".

You’re a waste of life old liberal who doesn’t understand words he uses. It’s amusing and pathetic at the same time.

Thanks for the death threat. No doubt you've love to send me to a death camp at the Alligator Alcatraz

Blah blah blah

I am 45. I m neither old nor slow. You don’t know that MAGAt = maggot. That’s low IQ 101.

How was that a death threat? Are you feeling OK? Being a waste of life isn’t a death threat it means you’re a pathetic loser and you don’t understand words you use. Not sure that aligns with libertarianism. If you don’t like what I am saying leave the thread.

You're free to backpedal. It's not like it's the first time for you nor, I expect, the last. My professional experience involved both training and evaluating people. In person evaluations are quicker and more efficient than via text, but with enough interactions an accurate assessment of a person's personality, intelligence, rationality and education can be made online. Same goes for their politics regardless what they claim.

As it is, I'm a conservative even if the MAGAts keep claiming I'm a worthless lefty. I support the Constitution and our Republic against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
