Conservative? What kind of christmas present to you give to someone conservative and rich and has almost everything?
What is the difference between a conservative and a liberal? If a Liberal sees 30,000 deaths by guns per year he wants gun control If a Conservative sees this he thinks the 2nd amendment is working If a liberal is an omnivore, he respects vegetarians If a conservative is an omnivore, he think vegetarians are weak hippies If a conservative think he sees a foreign threat, he overreacts and kills 100,000 innocent people. A liberal tries diplomacy. If a liberal is homosexual, he wants equal rights. If a conservative is homosexual, he hides in the closet in shame. If a black man or Hispanic are liberal, they give back to their communities. Their conservative counterparts forget about where they came from. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal takes care of others who are down and out first. If liberals don't like a media outlet they show facts. If a conservative doesn't like a news outlet, they claim media bias, and government conspiracies. If a conservative is a believer, he says anyone that doesn't believe in his God is wrong and is going to hell. A liberal who believes in religion respects the right to choose religion. If a conservative is okay with paying for other people's health care though private insurance, while paying for $200 billion in private profits and overhead. A liberal doesn't want profits controlling his health. If a conservative slips and falls in a store, it's probably a Wal-Mart. If a liberal slips and falls, it's probably somewhere that respects its employees. Is this true?
Have evangelical conservatives ruined the concept of what it means to be conservative? I'm a conservative in the fiscal sense. Small government, low taxes, government doing less and not more,.. etc. You can throw that evangelical conservative crap in the garbage. Who speaks for fiscal conservatives anymore? Not people like Bush. Bush has expanded government size, spent like a drunk sailor, and curtailed basic civil rights. That's not conservative.
Why do conservatives think that saying the military is largely conservative is relevant? The military is non-partisan - or, at least, it's supposed to be. The people they're killing in Iraq don't care what American political party the soldiers belong to. The liberal soldiers and conservative soldiers share the same color blood, and they don't bleed any differently when a bomb goes off or they're shot. But conservatives seem to only care about the conservative soldiers. They constantly demean the contributions of liberal soldiers by pointing out that "the majority of the military is conservative." Why do they think that the political party of people who are merely following orders matters in the least? Bella Donna: Constantly, huh? Funny, because I've never heard it happen ONCE. But if you say it happens CONSTANTLY... with no proof... I guess we all have to believe you. Fly Over: I never said I don't like conservatives. Many conservatives are completely rational people whose political ideology I happen to disagree with, but that's okay with me. I don't need everyone to agree with me, and I don't condemn people simply for disagreeing. I believe if you read my question, you will see the words "SOME CONSERVATIVES." Please pay closer attention.
Is conservative economics doomed to fail since the free movement of labor is prohibited by law? Laissez-faire economics can only work if capital & labor are free to move where the best returns/jobs are. International borders prevent the free movement of labor. This means conservative economics can't work. I'm surprised conservatives aren't calling for OPEN borders to give their Utopian economic theories a chance to work. Instead, they embrace irreconcilable economic contradictions without realizing it.
What is the most conservative way to do your nails for a job interview? I have a job interview with the Army JAG Corps and I need to look as conservative and professional as possible. I am going to pull my hair back and wear a muted, neutral skirt suit with pearl earrings. But what color should I do my nails? Should I get a pale pink, a bright red, a french manicure, or just paint them clear? I am interviewing for a legal position and legal employers always say their interviewees are not conservative enough. So what is the most conservative way to do your nails? I need to look like Margaret Thatcher, basically. Also, would you wear an american flag pin with your suit if you were interviewing for a civilian job with the military? Any other advice on how to look as conservative & professional as possible at a job interview would be welcome. Thanks!
Has the title of Conservative been hijacked by politicians and others? I say others because I do not know what to call them. Just about all Republican politicians call themselves Conservatives even the big spending entitlement creating George Bush. I have friends that are true Conservatives and we talk all the time (we argue all the time) and they never say the juvenile low brow stuff I hear others who say who claim to be a Conservative. They will also tell you in a heart beat that George Bush is not a conservative.
How did conservative Christians use the Bible to justify slavery? Before the Civil War ended slavery the Conservative Christians based in South justified slavery into religion and some say they used the Bible to help them. Where does it say anything about slavery in the Bible and which parts of Bible did they use to justify it. Are they doing it today with any other issues such as Gay marriage?
What does it say about Conservative values when a Senator who hired professional sex workers is favored to win? Senator David Vitter who ran on family values and was later found to have been involved with prostitutes is currently the Republicans hope for Louisiana's Senate seat? Recently some Republicans called Sen Mary Landrieu a Prostitute. Does the Republican party agree that prostitutes in a persons resume is just fine and dandy? Do Conservatives still back Vitter? What does it take to NOT qualify as a Conservative Republican running for US Senate these days?
What exactly is the difference between a Liberal and a Conservative? I keep being told to vote Conservative in the next election (Canada) but other people tell me to vote Liberal! I don't know the difference between the two. Can someone tell me what the difference is between Conservatives and Liberals? Oh, and try not to be biased. Don't answer if you're gonna be like, "Liberals F***in ruin this country and Conservatives are what we need" or "Conservatives suck hairy balls and Liberals are what we need". I just want to know the difference.
What is a conservative solution to healthcare? 47 million Americans dont have healthcare. I know about 60% of that number is illegal immigrants and many more are people that make $75,000 per year and choose not to get it. That still leaves millions of americans that dont have healthcare. The liberals say universal healthcare is the solution. What is a conservative solution to the problem?
Anyone for a Conservative Party who seriously wants to start one? The republican party has USED us for the last time. I say we ditch the filthy NeoNazi end of the party and start our own. Cut 'em loose. Let's spend the next four years building a base of good people in the mold of Reagan. The modern Democrat completely misunderstands conservative values, and I can't blame them.
What is the conservative plan for providing healthcare to those who cannot afford it? Is this a case of "You don't have healthcare because you are poor, minority, lazy, stupid and useless and therefore don't deserve it?" Why do so many working class people without healthcare not see that their interests are not being served by letting the AMA and insurance companies dictate healthcare reform by making massive donations to conservative politicians and blatantly distorting the truth about the administration's reform plans?
What is the Conservative solution for structural racism in the criminal justice system? Our criminal justice system is broken: minorities make up a disproportionate share of the incarcerated population compared to both crime rates and population. Let me repeat this: minorities make up a larger percentage of the prison population than the percentage of crimes they commit. Conservative solution or are you all fine with racism as long as it isn't "reverse"?
What would be conservative long blonde punk hair? I am not looking for too conservative but I cannot have permanent crazy colors in my hair. I am going for bleach blond hair with choppy layers and side swept bangs. I am getting my hair done tomorrow and I need pictures, thanks.
What's the difference between conservative, democratic, and liberal? I don't really know too much about politics. Looking at issues like abortion, I think a conservative's view would be no, a liberal's view would be yes, and a democrate's view would be (yes?). Or looking at gay marriage, a conservative's view would be no, a liberal's view would be yes, and a democrate's view would be (yes?). Is a liberal just a more left version of a democrate? Just wondering.
What are the characteristics of a conservative person? The reason for what I ask this is because some people say I have conservative ideas, and that I have morals. So let's say: - I don't like when people make fun of others regarding physical appearance - I believe we're responsible for what we do and accept the consequences. - I believe in individualism, not in political systems. Do you think I have conservative ideas?
What makes some states more liberal and others more conservative? What is it that makes a certain place conservative or Liberal, like Illinois tends to be liberal but Indiana tends to be conservative, like wise California tends to liberal but Arizona tends to be conservative. What is it that makes this, is it the way people are brought up, peoples values, urban/rural? I mean between someone from Illinois and someone from Indiana I cant tell the difference. Yet the two states have different political views largely.
What's a good conservative show for a liberal to listen to? I consider myself a conservative liberal, and don't like the combative styles, nor the crazy/nut job rants that Air America and the Rush Limbaughs and Anne Coulters of the world embrace. I listen to NPR regularly, but for various reasons, I am interested in getting more info from the conservative perspective. Anyone have a good recommendation for a more moderate/middle of the road conservative show?
What would be the conservative way to reform the American health care system? America does have the best health care system in the world, but at the same time there is greed and corruption in insurance companies. We all know that a public option is simply adding more government control, which just adds more socialism and problems. So what would be the conservative way to reform the American health care system?

No wonder Bush has set a record for lowest approval rating.
How does supporting gay marriage make me any less of a conservative? As a CONSERVATIVE I support the sacred institution of marriage, and all that it represents. I support loyalty, commitment, and personal responsibility. So how does it make me any less of a CONSERVATIVE if I support a loving and committed gay or lesbian couple who want to make a lifelong commitment to one another? Or would the other so called "conservatives" prefer an orgy of gays and lesbians throwing parades in their faces?
What does being a conservative mean to you? I often hear fellow Republicans talking about being a conservative (and not a liberal). What does that actually mean to you? Do you feel that the Republican party is conservative? What about social vs fiscal conservatism?
What are the most conservative media sources? Obviously, FOX News is as conservative as it gets. "We report, you decide" is laughable even though I tend to accept that it's impossible for media sources to be completely down the middle. We hear a lot about the "liberal media", though, with the NY Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, etc. I want to know which newspapers or other sources there are that are considered "conservative". I also find it interesting that it seems like MSNBC has passed CNN for being more liberal.
What is the difference between liberal and conservative towns? Like when people describe places this way. People say Austin, TX is a liberal town, and Lubbock, TX is conservative. I know what liberals and conservatives are.. but I don't get how that would influence the town and its schools and buildings. Can you explain this for me? Like when people say a town is conservative does that mean there is more racism? And when its liberal there is more art and music? From that definition, liberal towns seem more fun
When did conservative family values start to include a woman leaving her infant? to work two jobs, two more than full-time jobs? Who is taking care of the baby? Is it the father? Isn't this counter to conservative family values? Did they change their values? a conservative flip flop! These comments you make are all legitimate. But they are not the conservative viewpoint. They are LIBERAL viewpoints! The media told me conservatives like her because her solid conservative values. Conservative values are the man working and the woman taking care of the family. Or did you "conservatives" flip flop and become liberals?

Do conservative people know the way to progress? Or maybe gorilla-warfare style politics? Does the GOP really keep conservatism interesting and understandable and alive or childish?

Why it is Conservative to exploit the natural world and use it entirely for short term benefit? Shouldnt it be the opposite? Conservatives should care about long term conservation - and preservation of what we have. I think its because the evangelicals have taken over, and they dont give a crap because they figure the second coming is coming. Why the Conservative denial of Global Warming despite massive amounts of evidence? Why the Conservative dismissal of Science? Why the insistence to drill in ANWR and loosen regulations on the National Parks, Forest Service and pollution controls via the EPA?
What are the most “conservative” and “liberal” professions? And more importantly, why? What do you believe the most conservative and liberal jobs are? YA suggested I put this question in the politics section. Yet, I didn’t because it’s extremely difficult to get an objective, educated or honest answer there. If you would like to answer, what is your profession and how would you describe your politics?
What state is the most conservative in the Goldwater sense of the word? What state is the most traditionally conservative (not Neo-con). Is it possible to liberate that state from the forces of the Socialist trends the rest of the country and the Western world is going with? Not talking about secession, but allowing it to operate with every limited government, very little outside influence, and absent of leftist policies. Basically allowing the Constitution to reign supreme.

Is there a conservative blog-type news website similar to the Huffington Post? Hi, I often read the Huffington Post. It is a liberal blog-style news website. I really enjoy their commentaries and in-depth news that other bigger networks generally don't cover. Is there a conservative website that does basically the same thing? I want to know what the conservatives are talking about :) Thanks!
How does a Conservative explain thier support of Public Education,Social Security and Medicare? Seems to me that these are all Socialist programs, especially Public education, modeled after Germany. Yet when asked about these the answer is "well that is too important to allow the free market to run that" Ask a Conservative about Social Security and they tell you "we will get voted out if we oppose that" same with Medicare since these are all socialist programs. What does this say about conservatives and their philosophy, is it only for certain Govt run programs?
What are good online sources of liberal and conservative opinion? I'm looking for a balance of liberal and conservative opinion without subscribing to such magazines as Liberal Opinion Week and Conservative Chronicle.

Why do Conservative Christian communities seem to produce the most hate groups? When you hear about all the really bad incidents that followed Obama's election, just about all took place in conservative communities and states that pride themselves on how Christian they are. And when you look up the location of hate groups they also seem to thrive in these type of places like Idaho and Texas. These folk claim to go to church every sunday and learn about love and peace and joy from the bible. How does hate and bigotry come out of that?
Want to hear what a conservative thinks about Obama's first two days in office? I think Obama has done more to SHRINK government in the past two days than Bush did in the past 8 years! Government should not be in the position to make agendas based on moral ideology as Bush did with Stem Cell research and abortion funding policy. I just hope he keeps it up! I will keep my fingers crossed. I guess it's true---elect a liberal you get a conservative; elect a conservative you get a liberal!
Why do societies tend to liberalize in new ideas when the socially-conservative elements have higher birthrate? In other words, social and sexual mores seem to become more progressive and permissive over time, and this cuts across societies throughout the world. Yet it seems that the educated secular elite in each society bears very few children, whereas the religious/conservative masses tend to have a far higher birthrate. So what make society become more and more progressive? Logically speaking, shouldn't the conservative masses take over if they have such high birthrates?
