I used to be a conservative

I gotta admit...I like Joe Manchin, democrat from West Virginia. He truly seems like a guy who wants to help us regular folk. He has done well in West Virginia and I really liked an interview he gave regarding the Boehner and Reid debt ceiling bills. He didn't point fingers or blame anyone. He was kind in his assessment of Reid and Boehner bills and simply said he wanted a fix and not just a Band-Aid. Seems like a really smart guy who really cares. Wish there w ...

I decided to bring my reply to the top since the previous thread is about to fall off the screen. Your thorough and thoughtful disclosures of your beliefs and take on various candidates in no way resemble a soap-box dialog. I have learned a lot about my own attitudes and stereotypical thinking about conservatives from you and really appreciate your taking the time to post. Yep. I can relate to the flip-flop and trust issues you have with Romney. It has been a bitte ...

If a conservative doesn’t like a news organization or a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down. If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his. If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a ...

"We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is respnsible for his own actions." Research it if you want to know who said it..... Why are fingers pointed at a group of people every time some idiot does something stupid. I refuse the bear the responsibility for the actions of this guy. I am a conservative Christian, gun-owner, but I would have been at that ...

I have read conservatives are against Obama's health care law. I would like to know who should pay for people who refuse to buy health insurance. For example, I hired a handyman out of the local paper. he told me about his appendicitis. He said he did not buy health care because he knew govt would take care of his bill if he could not. Why do you not wish for each individual to be responsible for their hospital bills? Not looking for argument, just would ...

I thought this was pretty good and wanted to share. Ive seen many articles but this was a little different. Why I am a conservative. http://www.thevrwc.org/keepers/conservative.html ...

How could a polit ...

As we can clearly see, W holds the championship title, hands down. "When the President does it, that means that it's not illegal." ~ Richard M. Nixon "We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." ~ President George W. Bush "The only way to reduce the number of nuclear weapons is to use them." ~ Rush Limbaugh ''My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told m ...

In an effort understand what the Conservative is really saying, I hope you will find these terms/definitions helpful: Family: The war on Gays. Pro-Life: Pro-war, Pro-Death penalty, and Pro-We Choose For You. War on Religion: It's unacceptable that our laws and culture are not based solely on my interpretation of the bible. Capitalism: A market economy that is rigged towards the "Job Creators" Job Creators: The source of lobbying funds that keep the system rigged. ...

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A REPUBLICAN Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised. All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union ...

I loved this article and I love even more the obvious turn of the tide regarding same-sex marriage. It's mainly about a former Bush aide, explaining why conservatives shoudl support same-sex marriage. ...One hundred thirty-one prominent Republicans have signed a pro-same-sex marriage legal brief that is clearly at odds with the House GOP leadership and the party's platform in the most recent election. ..."if you believe in freedom, if you believe in limited government, if you b ...

Is this Administration facing tough times or not? Another bunch of ILLEGAL activity and harrassment by the most hated arm of government in this country.

for the IRS to determine tax-exempt status - but Obama's brother has a charity - that was rushed through by Lois Lerner herself. Wait....Obama's brother has a charity? Is it himself? Oh, wait, that's the uncle. Never mind. But here's a link to the story. ...

A recent Pew poll showed that well over 50% of conservatives could not say just who was in charge of the GOP, i.e., identify their own leader(s). Most conservatives feel an especial need for a leader to follow too. Could this hole have anything to do with their attempts to "adopt" Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and now John Kennedy as their own by twisting and distorting what these men really stood for? Amusing as the thought of this particular pampered scion of the northeastern elite raving ...

Conservative media took it hook, line and sinker. It was all a hoax. Apparently it spread in conservative media like wildfire and no one really bothered to check sources. ...

Privatization thus replaces public, government-owned, assets, by privately owned assets, and so it transfers control from publicly elected (government) leaders (who are answerable to everyone at ballot-boxes), to private ones — to private stockholders who decide how those assets will be used — regardless of whether the asset happens to be schools, or hospitals, or land, or natural resources, or roads, or whatever. Anything can be privatized. Anything can be run by an elite, by an ‘owner.� ...

As odd as it might seem, I really wish the Democrats had a decent candidate, for the simple reason that I have no faith in the electorate after 2012. This country is just crazy enough to actually elect one of these miscreants, and if they do that will put the last nail in the coffin of what was once a great country. ...

If you are disgusted by the vile filth and disrespect from the left, but still want your voice heard and still want to read opinions of others and have rational discussions, there are other sites for such. I, for one, will be leaving this forum permanently. If you are not aware of another site, you may email me for information, but I fully understand if you don't. (I probably wouldn't email anyone anonymously on this site.) Bottom Line: Don't give up your beliefs and don ...

Waterloo March 21st, 2010 at 4:59 pm by David Frum | No Comments | Share Conservatives and Republicans today suffered their most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s. It’s hard to exaggerate the magnitude of the disaster. Conservatives may cheer themselves that they’ll compensate for today’s expected vote with a big win in the November 2010 elections. But: (1) It’s a good bet that conservatives are over-optimistic about November – by ...

Mitt told a crowd in Ohio that Jeep is going to close down its US plants and move them to China. The benovalent Romney said after he is elected he will do everything in his power to keep those jobs here (unlike Sensata which he has refused to help). Even after he was told his statement was false, Romney repeated it in another city. The thing is, Jeep has no intentions to close American production. The company put out this response to Romney shortly after news ...

It Keeps Getting Worse for the Republicans By DANIEL LARISON • October 14, 2013, 3:38 PM As Jim Antle says in his article today, it is getting worse for the GOP. The newest Post/ABC News poll shows that public disapproval of Republicans’ performance continues to increase. This write-up summarizes the results: Barely one in five Americans (21 percent) approve of the way Republicans in Congress are handling negotiations over the budget ...

...and I mean ANY guns down to and including pellet guns. There are some other things that I would also prohibit them from owning, such as anything that can be used in making bombs, etc. No timers, no mercury or remote switches, no radio transmitters, no primers, etc.. So sorry, but if you're on a TERROR WATCH LIST there's a reason for it - or should be (see below). This makes perfect sense, so I don't see why Trump's willingness to consider this should be ...
