The Left and One Party Rule

It's Just Boris!
Folks, I have a couple of questions I would like to throw at you.

1) Do Liberals really think that by eliminating the Conservative voice in America, that everything would be fine?

2) Where would Conservatives fit in modern America?

I qualify that last question as I think that to be a Conservative, you cannot adopt the so-called "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" copout.

?

OK then. That leaves us with something other than liberty.
 
Funny how the one yelling at the left for pushing "one party rule" is also alienating everyone, save big-government righties.

What you call a cop-out I call true conservatism. The entire social conservatism movement goes against the premise that limited gov't and less gov't intrusion into our private lives is a cornerstone of what it means to be conservative.
 
Most social conservatives support fascism or crony capitalism, economically. It is necessary to support the cultural hegemony. So, "fiscally conservative" is sort of ambiguous.

Reason Magazine's "Free Markets Free Minds" is more descriptive.

The social conservatives are a dying breed. They either need to learn to shut up and take the back seat or be purged.

My view on it is this: Society moves as a pendulum, with periods of accelerate development and stagnation. Every time the former occurs, there is a force to counter it. And what we've entered within the past several decades is a boom in technology and steady cultural reform - the cultural aspect has been coming out of the woodwork since the days of the Beats. Revolutionaries used to be overthrowing towns, now they're staging attacks and protests through the net. Wars used to be fought in trenches, now they're fought by robots. Homosexuals used to be shunned, now they've become the new civil rights movement. We've seen women and African-Americans occupying the position of power the likes of which previously existed in a fantasy. We're now working with a socialist power to provide oil for the poor. And just as the czarists opposed the revolution in Russia, social conservatives are opposing the revolution in the states - though the current one may be a tad slower paced.

That was really verbose, but I'm sure you get the point.

So the false morality of labelling libertarianism as an excuse for sin is welcome here?

Yes. From what I have seen over the years, everyone is welcome here.

The idea that people with different ideas and beliefs should leave the board is insane. There are few things more boring than a political discussion board populated by people who agree.

What the hell is a ”conservative” and what is the ”conservative voice?”

I know a bunch of Yokels that try to shove their religious beliefs down other folks throats who call themselves conservatives. I know other Yokels that think the undeclared, unnecessary, unconstitutional wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were a great idea and they claim to be conservatives. I know folks that are totally supportive of the unconstitutional Drug War and the Patriot Act that call themselves conservatives. I know people who vote for Republicans and think Republicans are actually in favor of cutting back the federal government and creating a limited federal government but when the federal government is controlled by Republicans it and our debt always grows just like when the Democrats are in control of the federal government and those voters call themselves conservatives and most of the so-called conservatives I know are advocates of all of the above. That means they’re anti-Constitution, anti-Bill Of Rights, pro-authoritarian, pro-BIG government, militarist lying crony capitalistic hypocrites & religious fanatics.

If that’s what conservatism is, who in hell wants to be a conservative or even listen to the so-called conservative voice?

Man, why are people so threatened by Libertarians?

Because they never have rational, reasonable or honest answers or opposition to the truth of the libertarian argument, because the libertarian message is fundamentally the founding principles it’s classical liberalism and classical conservatism. Libertarians can back their positions and beliefs with the Constitution, Democrats & Republicans have to resort to lies, phony rhetoric and absurdities.
