Re: Conservative hypocrisy on many political issues
All of the sudden, Conservatives care about high unemployment in the USA. But that never stopped them from supporting laws that make it easier for American companies to ship their jobs overseas....and even make it profitable to do so.
Competition's a bitch eh? And Conservatives have always cared about high unemployment.
Conservatives hate illegal immigration...and yet they don't want laws that severely crack down on farmers out West for hiring an illegal alien...and they don't want uniform state-ID laws that can be used to quickly & easily verify someone's right to work in the USA.
This conservative does hate illegal immigration because - shockingly - it's illegal. I fully support laws that not only crack down on farmers or anyone for that matter who hires illegals, but I support fining them as much as $1M per illegal found to work for said company. I also fully support a workers Visa ID to validate someone is in this country legally, and working here legally for a period of time.
Conservatives claim to want to defeat terrorists...but they refuse to support common sense gun regulations that would help keep guns out of the hands of possible terrorists in the USA.
Terrorists don't come to the U.S. to buy guys legally from gun shops. Fact is, terrorists can buy fully automatic AK's in the Middle East and in many countries around the world for as little as $15 U.S. Parts are interchangeable, Chinese receives work on Russian or Pakistani made weapons. Why would they want to come to the U.S. and buy a semi-automatic copy of an AR?
Perhaps terrorists should call Eric Holder on his cell to get in some gun orders. He and his department in the government are the only one's I know of who let thousands of weapons across the border to Mexico without a valid way to track them, which has killed hundreds if not over a thousand Mexicans and which continues to do so. Is that what you're complaining about? Holder? See... as a conservative, I don't agree that programs such as F&F should have been done by Bush (who didn't go through with it) nor by Obama. Have you mentioned how the sale of box cutters since 2001 have not been put under BATF or FBI jurisdiction? Box cutters if you recall, were the weapon of choice in the 2001 hijacking and subsequent terrorist acts on planes which crashed into the WTC. Nothing about box cutters eh? Typical of a bad marksman... (pun intended).
Conservatives claim to be all about individual liberty & freedom......but they are 100% opposed to gay marriage, gay civil union, abortion rights, and even want pregnant women to be forced to undergo a vaginal ultrasound.
This conservative is fine with gay civil unions... just don't call it marriage. Abortion is killing a fetus which if left alone would become a human - conservatives are usually against the murder of the innocent, whereas it's apparent you are not. Yes I support ultrasounds - it helps to let the mother know that when they go through with the abortion they'll be killing a baby.
They are also against even the decriminalization of personal marijuana use.
This conservative is fine with legalizing ALL drugs with the reservation that anyone who is subsequently addicted gets one (1) paid for clean up at rehab. After that, they're on their own and the government doesn't get involved. Its therefore up to the persons family or friends to get them straight. Last thing I want is my tax dollars going to clean up idiots who cannot handle their drugs for the 12th time, and then feeding them, clothing them, and providing them shelter. If people want to kill themselves with drugs - I say let them do it. Better for the human gene pool in the long run.
Because you're generalizations are a fail? I know it makes things nice and tidy to stuff everyone you don't like into one little box a la MSNBC... in real life however, things aren't that clean. Why? Because you obviously don't know how diverse or what makes a conservative. :shrug:
