A Republicans the 'real' Liberals? What is a Conservative Value?
True conservatism is all about the limited role of government in a democratic society. So many times, especially on conservative based radio and TV stations the term "Conservative Values" is attached to what it means to be Republican. A choice word "Values", suggesting that it is understood by every one that if what Republicans believe in are of "Value", thus the beliefs Democrats or other parties hold are the ..."opposite"! It seems to me that there is nothing conservative about not questioning our Government for torturing anyone on mere suspicion of knowledge. It does not seem conservative at all wanting to see our Navy just start "blowing" Somali vessels out of the water as Mark Levin suggested yesterday. The conservative handling by President Obama of the Pirate Hostage situation has paid off. Hostages have been since released, and we also have one of the pirates in custody to interrogate. Where is the conservatism when Government can tell a female she has to have a child? Would this be the way Conservatives feel if men were child bearers? And what "Value" is it to Americans to deregulate industry to the point we are in right now. Stress testing Banks is a very smart move. Have you ever wondered why and how there are so many banks???... I have! Its a very smart move to get a hold of the Auto industry because its one of the few things in America that we produce that is imported in large scale. It also employs a large number of Americans. Government intervention is essential in "conserving" what has been mismanaged by GM and Chrysler. In a very "Conservative" move, Ford smartly dropped the Mercury line years ago and its the only American born car company that has not needed stimulus dollars. Where is the conservatism when Republicans believe that spending billions of dollars in an undeclared war that has netted Americans nothing is warranted? And where is the conservatism when Republicans attach themselves to the likes of Mark Levin, who calls individuals "Jerkoffs" on open airwaves before the caller has much of a chance to say anything. Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Niel Boortz have nothing to do with "Conservative Values" to speak of. They not only criticize our President but they blatantly insult him! How is that conservative! Is that a "Conservative Value"? So I ask...what are "Conservative Values"? What is a "Conservative Value"? Is it just saying it? Outing CIA agents...Blatant documeted fraud by republicans in Presidential elections...Lying to Americans....Selling our Ports to the Arabs...The list is so long on so many things that are in fact not "conservative" at all! In fact it seems that when Republicans are in charge or do anything many Republicans seem to take quite a Liberal positionIT-IS_WH.... And who is not paying attention? I said one of the few things we import on large scale...not "the only thing"! Name 3 other imports on large scale form the US to other global markets?
