What is a Conservative

What is a Conservative

Interesting question

Simply put what is a conservitive?.
End of quote

Conservative or Republican?

Conservatives believe in limited goverment.  We dont like a 'nanny state'.  We want to decide for ourselves. We do believe that the UN is a joke, not due to a misconception, but due to historical perspective.  They just have not done anything to indicate they believe or support their charter.

We believe in Charity for the misfortunate, but that it should be a helping hand, not a hand out.  We belive that life is not fair.  But people can be fair and charitable.  So if you are making a million, and your neighbor is not, that is not bad.  it is life.  But we can and do offer a helping hand.

We believe that our earnings are ours, and our charitible contributions are also ours.  To give to those we see as the needy, and not the greedy.  Does that make us bad?

We are not judgemental.  So you can decide the last question.  And in the final analysis,. we are not going to debate you .  Because your definitions of needy and greedy is your own subjective opinion, as is ours.  So you can support yours, and we can support ours.

We also believe that all people are equal, but life is not equal., So while I am not billl Gates, that does not mean I was deprived.  It just means I made different decisions.

We also do not condemn progress just because it is not to the liking of some tree huggers.  We love the environment, but we do not subvert humanity for it.

We understand that the Sun, and the earth have more impact on global cooling than this feeble thing called man can ever have.  yet we know we can pollute it and we strive to make sure we dont.

We are the socialist and Communist worst nightmare, and best hope.  We care, but in the end, more than caring, we do.  We dont hug trees, we harvest them, and replace them.  So that there are more trees today than when our ancestors set foot on this continent. (Can the socialist of Europe say that?).

We are your worst nightmare for one simple reason.  We are right.  And you just care, but dont know.

I know this is going to get flames., but in the end, it will make no difference.  For Lliberals care, but do nothing.  Conservatives care and do.  Not always the best, but always to make a change.

THAT is the difference.

Note that in all years listed in your argument the ban was in affect. No proof it helped you say? I wonder what the stats were before that? True I do not know the specifics but I am 95% sure they were higher than what your giving me. And there is the issue of money to consider. To my knowledge such guns are quite expensive. I mean come on! Buy a knife at a grocer that know one knows exactly who owns or weapon you wipped out your credit card to buy shorltly before the murder. In response to your second article above it contains information purly on the state of New York and though you may live in New York not everyone does there for those statistics make up only around1/50 of the whole picture. However you are entitled to your opinion and I appreciatte your input.

The CDC is unable to prove one way or the other if the AWB had any effect.


are you kidding me? NY is second only to DC in firearm related homocides. And while I'm thinking about it what good did the ban do in DC? Their homocides have *climbed* since 1994. And your not allowed to have *any* firearms in DC at all.

You have to admit though....if you use DC as your model then the AWB didn't do a lot of good.

Maybe we can call it a truce? Some ways did help others not so.

Unless I'm mistaken, the title of this article is 'what is a conservative'. My statement was an attempt to describe what 'conservative' means to me. I was addressing Dr Guy, the author of this article, not you.



Dharma, why me? I did not claim your input was invalid. I found it relative. Sorry if I offended you, but I dont see where I did.

And Texas, I will qualify my statement to read 'Democrat Politicians and elitist". Not all LIberals.
