They support free-market Capitalism, yet LOVE farm-subsidies and paying farmers to NOT grow corn.
They support taxing people less, but they want a flat-tax that will lower taxes on those who can afford to pay the most in taxes, and raise taxes on those who can least affod to pay more in taxes.
They support taking power away from the govt. and giving it to the people, and yet they want to take the right to vote away from the poor and those who pay no Federal income taxes.
They support states' rights, but they want a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage...which would trump states' rights.
They claim to be Libertarian, but they support the govt. having authority over a woman's body.
They claim to be strict-Constitutionalists, but they often have no idea what the Constitution actually says.
.......why such hypocrisy with Conservatives? Is it inherent in their ideology?

The fact remains that while Conservatives claim to be for smaller-govt., they very often support the expansion of govt. power & responsibilities. i.e. the TSA, Dept. of Homeland Security, and the PATRIOT Act.
The fact remains while the Conservatives claim to be for less govt. intrusion in people's private lives, they want a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage or states to ban gay-marriage, and they want abortion punished as murder.
The fact remans that while Conservatives claim to be for free-market Capitalism, they support govt. subsidizing of the oil industry, farming, and other industries...along with bail-outs for the big banks.
Yep, Conservatism seems to be very synonimous with hypocrisy.
Again nothing but YOUR personal opinion speciously implying some grand conspiracy that all conservatives are "in on" in some hippie commune socialist collective way... :lamoThe fact remains that while Conservatives claim to be for smaller-govt., they very often support the expansion of govt. power & responsibilities. i.e. the TSA, Dept. of Homeland Security, and the PATRIOT Act.

I think it is intellectually dishonest to express ignorant opinions as facts.do you think its intellectually honest to compare a religious group to a political ideology?
I sure don't.

So a CT rule is one that specifies a particular persons opinion, such as thisjust the person who made the CT comment.
rather than broad-brushes an entire group in some clandestine national agenda, such as thisAgain nothing but YOUR personal opinion speciously implying some grand conspiracy that all conservatives are "in on" in some hippie commune socialist collective way... :lamo

Why do you insist on making such broad generalizations? Why is it that every time I point out that similarly broad generalizations can be made about liberals and that both political parties are the problem, you either stop responding to me or stop posting in the thread?

I guess Thunder doesn't have the time to respond when he's asked questions he can't answer regarding his bigoted politics.
sorry, I was busy.
what's the question?
