Since the republicans just love defining the word liberal, it's high time we define the word conservative. More often than not we will be highlighting why their interpretation is the exact opposite of the real meaning of the word.
Lets point out the many reasons why they should not only not use that word as a banner of integrity, and highlight the many reasons they should run from it, as it defines their hypocrysy.
I think it most important that people from all political parties need to focus on the real issues that jeopardize our military, our economy, our healt and welfare and the very existsance of our nation.
I also believe that we need to go beyond reversing the trade and business practices that have bled America of so many jobs and so much of our wealth. Legislation should be put in place to define JOBS as a national strategic resource, and then combined with incentives for business to not move those jobs. I would even entertain declaring a class of Federal felonies up to and including forfeiture and Corporate Treason for those who think thier right to free trade takes precedence over the constitutional rights of American workers. We also need an import strategy that does not allow any nation to flood our markets with any product they want when it means American jobs are put in jeapordy. It is our country and no Country including China does has any rights here that we dont grant them.
I take every opportunity to challenge "conservatives" and to spur uncommiteds to ponder on these following examples. Im sure as a group we can expand this list, and use it to thoughtfully engage the attacks on the label Liberal, hopefully bringing many people to their senses about the real "CONSERVATIVE"agenda.
So your a Conservative huh ????
1 Environment It doesnt take a genius to see the total disregard for our environment, and the dogged resistance to recognize and address Global warming. Just how do Republican's fit this into the definition of CONSERVATIVE ?
2 We have lost all control over our border integrity and in many ways our very soverignty. Partly as a result of a total lack of will to address the issue, partly as a policy that sees cheap labor and lost jobs as good for our economy, and partly because the Corporate backers of the 'Conservative" machine simply want more profit and have no concerns about Americas future. Just how does raw greed at the lossof our soverignty fit into any definition of "Conservative"
3 The continued promulgation of trade policies that do nothing more than encourage business to flee America, and literally sacrifices America's jobs. The uncontrolled ability of companies to move jobs abroad without consequence, and the idiotic encouragement for anyone to import their products here regardless of whether or not Americans will lose their jobs,should simply be defined as treeason not just stupidity. Just how does this assault on one of our most basic rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness fit into any definition of the word "Conservative"?
4 Lets ask them what part of the word "Conservative" allows them to justify fighting an unfunded war, based on fictitious weapons and contrived enemies, virtually bankrupting our country ,and disrespecting the honor and service and lives of our dedicated military both during and after their most heroic service in Iraq?
5 Just how does the word Conservative apply when health care costs are out of control, insurance companies are making record profits, and drug companies were given a key to the treasury with a no negotiate medicare drug plan? The boldest proposal by Mccain is to end all corporate or business provided health care and give us a grand total of $5000 tax credits to offset our own $12000 insurance. Sounds like a hell of a tax increase to me, but it would "Conserve" our right to choose which thief we pay premiums to.
6 Our basic constitutional rights!!! Monitoring our conversations, reading our email, listening to our phone calls, jut how does all their actions fit inot the oath of office which say to preserve protect and defend the constitution, not appoint a mypoic idealog like salia to change it. And if scalia doesnt like this criticism tell him to get used to it or get over it No the lower case in his name is not a typo, it guages my respect for him. Just what are we conserving with this line of thinking?
If I sound BITTER it is because I am.
We MUST support Barack as he is the most likely to change our nations course,and reverse the "Conservative" raping of our jobs our rights and our childrens future.
Funny thing, 4 years ago an awful lot of the people I work and associate with defined then selves as conservatives, and took every opportunity to try to change my mind. Now, those of them who are still working have come to agree with most of my points, and those who are losing their homes, thier jobs and their futures are even more BITTER than I am.
