reagan conservative...must read!

So what and where is this so called socialist slavery? Describe it...

[graymatter]

Anyone that votes democrat is voting for socialistic slavery. If I have to vote Republican to stop that, so be it.

(See how that works more than one way?)

BTW-- I'm loaded for bear if you pull that reverse shit again.

Republican= too conservative and not like it once was : (

Democrat= Socialist communist pansies who dont like guns

Libertarian = Perfect blend of both IMO

I'm 44. A liberal (or by some measures moderate) Democrat. And I'm that way because I read. I think. And I care. My parents are both college professors, so I think I'm also a product of the environment I was raised in.

I don't much enjoy arguing about politics because, like religion, it's not something people seem to feel on an intellectual level as much as they do an emotional one. But oh dear heaven, I hope and pray I never, ever grow more conservative as I get older because if I do, I'll know that it's some form of dementia or IQ degeneration setting in rather than a natural evolution to the conservative right. I confess that when I read the musings of Mr. Bong or some of the quotes you provided us, IamPatient, I attribute your views to those very maladies now.

The definitions of liberal and conservative have changed. Since the meanings are skewed, the policies attributed to these factions must be re-examined.

Today's "liberals" are in favor of bigger government, and this used to be the opposite. On the other hand, the modern "conservatives" support less regulation and less government - a quality of the "old" liberal ideal in the now-distant past.

I know nothing about New Zealand's politics, but their Liberal Party seems to reflect the "old" values of their name.

Our Policies:
Health
Alleviate the crisis in the public sector, and reduce waiting lists, through making better use of the private sector. A ranking of 41st in the world is not acceptable. Read on...

Tax
Simple, low tax rates create greater prosperity and faster growth, while leaving more money in families' pockets. ACT is the only party committed to tax cuts now. Read on...

Education
ACT would scrap the NCEA, give parents more choice in their child's education and let teachers be paid what they're worth. Read on...

Crime
ACT would introduce Zero Tolerance for violent criminals and put more police on the streets, making New Zealand one of the safest countries in the world. Read on...

Welfare
A quarter of a million Kiwi kids are being raised in a benefit-led household. True compassion demands looking after the truly needy by getting the able-bodied back to work

Right, it seems the lines have been blurred and crossed here in the U.S. since the Reagan revolution. When the Reagan democrats jumped on the conservative train it required them to check their social liberal baggage.

What happened to the republicans that once defended:

Pro Choice?
Gay Rights?
Fiscal Conservatism?
Less Government Control?

Actually that's pretty close except the Republicans, and everyone else, were much more conservative in the 1850's than today.

Way to run and hide, little boy.


C'mon, if you're going to pull retarded anti-Jesus/Republican shit out of your ass, expect me to point out how retarded it was. Besides, we all know that if Jesus was running on the Republican ticket he'd win, hands down. Since he's Jesus, he could pick any running mate he wants and he could pick George Washington or Reagan. Who'd vote against Jesus, San Franciscans, some evil people, a few atheists, maybe?

That's the kind of Republican I am. I'm also anti-WOD, clearly.
