Hello I'm a Conservative
I call myself a Conservative because:

I believe in using our nation's resources on our nation as opposed to using them enrich the rich. We should use our resources to better compensate hard working Americans. Teachers should receive far better compensation and should have all the tools they need. Our military should be used to defend America and should be given far better compensation for their duties as well. The people who cook our meals, carry our bags, drive our cabs, fly our planes, fix our pipes, build our buildings, stop fires, stop rapists, ect should all be well taken care of and should not have to play second fiddle to a crowd of self called moralists who do nothing to contribute to our nation. Instead of exploiting illegal immigrants and blaming them for our loss of jobs and economic failures we should start investing in the human capital of this country and never allow a crooked businessman to turn away an American willing to work for a living wage for the purposes of exploiting a person from a foreign land.

I believe our nation's people should all have access to health care, education, and assistance when needed during tough times. The people are this country's lifeline, they should come first above all interests of the powerful few. Without a strong educated populace this country cannot and will not thrive. I hope it's not too late to someday see this through and what we all worked so hard for and currently work so hard for be reclaimed.

I believe in conservation of land and resources and we should invest in technologies to lessen our impact on the environment as opposed to feeding the machine that works to kill it.


I believe in conserving our Constitution and the ideals of our forefathers. Religion was never a part of our Constitution nor did the founders of America insist that religion play a key role in our culture and laws. I believe in conserving this notion because I don't want to see America become another Iran only with a cross instead of a crescent as the symbol of rule.

I believe in conserving our Democracy and ensuring that it works for every American-not just for the privileged few who have the ability to buy off politicians for their own interests.


I believe that America has its scars and dark moments of history, but with those we also have our moments of pride, discovery, and ingenuity. These are things I want to conserve and not be lost under the guise of religious doctrine or fear tactics based on deceit.


I am a true Conservative. I feel like I'm the only true Conservative out there...

2. What a great post! You speak for me, my friend...
There doesn't seem to be much "conserving" going on with those "other" conservatives, does there?

Unless, of course, you are talking about conserving the power to rule.

Recommended big time!!

10. That's my whole point. I want to reclaim the term
It should belong to us. I love the look I get when I confront the "other" conservatives and let em know how far off to being a conservative they really are.

3. We all have our ideas as to what conservative and liberal are.
I ask conservatives what a liberal is and their answer sure doesn't describe me. And my idea of a conservative sure doesn't describe you.

9. About 25 years old, long dark hair, two earrings in one ear?
:)

I was consider it an amazing compliment when a good woman tells me that I remind her of her husband. Nothin much beats getting compared to a man who has found a good hearted woman who is willing to spend the rest of her life with him.

6. They are building detention centers for people who think this way.
Maybe I'll see you there. You could call it liberal or conservative.

8. Too bad he lost....But Giffords is gonna mop the floor with
Randy "Son of God" Graf.

I'll run for office someday, get elected, and then after about 2 years of a thriving economy, legalized marriage for ALL human beings, and a strong military, a Republican Senator from Mississippi will refer to my wife (The first lady) with a racial slur which calls out the fact that she's Asian. He will then apologize to me in public and say it was just a joke ya know kinda like macaca, then I will tell him on national tv to take his apology and stick it up his ass, which will cause him to charge me, I'll beat the crap outta him with my chair and taunt him with phrases like "c'mon get up punk I'm not even close to being done with your ass yet jethro, what happened to the tough guy called my wife a _____??"


Then I will be impeached and jailed by the Republican Congress after which DU will bust me out!! :)
