Reply #58: There's no such thing as conservatives

[Chulanowa]

...And there hasn't been for several decades. Yesteryear's "conservatives" are today lumped with we liberals. What is considered "conservative" today is, in fact, simple anti-liberal. These people have no stance on anything for themselves. They see what democrats, liberals, progressives are doing, and htey take the immediate opposite stance. They do not adhere to the ideals of conservativism - When's the last time you saw a "conservative" take a stand on individual responsability? Against big government conducted by the GOP? You don't.

What we have today amounts to a few camps. On one hand we have the partisan hacks. They're relatiovely innocuous themselves. They just take the exact opposite of whatever position a Democrat takes, not out of maliciousness, but because "democrats are wrong". Sheeple is a common term for them. More disturbing are the "Politically Incorrect" sorts. These people LOATHEW the idea of "political corretness" - Tehy see it as liberal thought control. They believe that conservativcism is a competition to see who can be the biggest anti-PC asshole possible. These are the people calling for lynchings, mass genocide, euthanization of gays, all that other nazi crap you see floating around. Then you have the other kind of sheep, those who are terrified of the outside, brainwashed into believing only Republicans are capable and that anyone else is "the enemy". These are, in fact the most dangerous types, because they kick out of fear, and they won't stop kicking. They're hte most likely to do something crazy to "protect themselves" from the "liberal menace"
