I could go on, but is it necessary? Have I demonstrated that conservative does not necessarily equal one who wants to preserve the status quo?
Maybe I am a radical conservative?

You cannot change the definition of a word to fit your views...

Maybe you are more liberal than what you think...

--------------

Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favor tradition and gradual change, where tradition refers to religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs.


Liberalism refers to a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal.[1] Modern liberalism has its roots in the Age of Enlightenment.
Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity.

----------------

How do you think the liberals have spent all of our money.
Last time I checked it was the current wacko conservatives spending
2,000.00 a second on war.

How do you think education is controlled by liberals ?
Can you say "No child left behind", one of the biggest clusterfcuks to
happen to the education system.

The same appeal as a car wreck.
For some reason humans want to see tragedy.

Face it.
The guy is a fat, drug addicted, self centered, ego maniac
making big bucks off of people that want that sort of sick entertainment.

I believe he has all the right in the world to do what he does.
But I don't have to agree with it.
Nor do I have to accept the things he does that are illegal !!!

[QUOTES in parentheses not by RichC, but by Knightrider966].

You cannot change the definition of a word to fit your views...

(Why not? You liberals do all the time!)

Maybe you are more liberal than what you think...

(You don't understand much of what you read, do you?)

--------------

Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favor tradition and gradual change, where tradition refers to religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs.

(Look before you leap and think ahead, I can agree with that. Setting a standard for common decency, self reliance, self sufficiency, yes, not bad goals.)


Liberalism refers to a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal.[1] Modern liberalism has its roots in the Age of Enlightenment.
Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity.

(Well, Liberalism has it's roots in the drug culture that you call the Age Of Enlightenment. What you described here is the roots of conservative libertarianism, not liberalism. Clue: Your not nearly as elightened as you think. Liberalism has it's true roots in the guilt brought on by the drug culture and alcohol culture and once liberals hit middle age and realise a guilty conciensce sets in, then they become liberals, not all, but a lot!Sort of like trying to make up for all the bad things liberals have done to others and making attonement requires taking assets form others, unless you were lucky enough to have rich parents, and create a co-dependency welfare state to make up for your wrongs.

In your mind maybe Liberalism emphasizes individual rights and opportunities, but it's not like liberals practise what they preach and this is a great example! As long as everyone thinks like liberals do, alls well with the world, but have a different set of beliefs and values and you will be a hate monger, racist and every other vile and vitriolic phrase that a liberal can utter when they run short on facts. So much for individual liberties.)

----------------

How do you think the liberals have spent all of our money.

(Liberals have stolen money that didn't belong to them by taxing the hell out of everyone and creating the large teat entitlement programs giving my earningsaway to those who contribute little or nothing, AKA more liberals financing their social marxist "great society" policies on the rest of us.)

Last time I checked it was the current wacko conservatives spending
2,000.00 a second on war.

(This administration is hardly conservative and since this is your example, I don't have to tell you your out of touch or out to lunch, you just did. In no way is George Bush a conservative. Senator Barry Goldwater was a conservative, Winston Churchill was a conservative, Ronald Reagan was a conservative..... Can you see the difference?)

How do you think education is controlled by liberals?

( Because the teachings of liberals undermine everything that does not agree with being liberal going as far as to throw college students out of college and to use every form of peer pressure including violence to intimidate with undue influence.)

Can you say "No child left behind", one of the biggest clusterfcuks to
happen to the education system.

(Once again, you blundered any point you might have made using Bush's no child left behind act in your argument. There is such a thing as taking responsibility for your own actions and parents should be raising their children, not the schools No child left behind was an attempt to undo political liberal correctnes at a local level, not a good one ,but one nevertheless because liberals did nothing but leave children behind who didn't follow the flo9ch and think like them.

Children from Conservative parents were and still are given consistently lower grades at school, even if they perform better, as a tool to get them to conform. This is showing up more and more inlawsuits as conservative s fight back and the movement is growing. Oddly enough, this was the message from Pink Floyd's The Wall. You have a lot of guts calling anyone a clusterfcuk!)

Know what I mean Vern? My answers in parentheses!

The picture with the words...is that a quote from Rush, himself...or is that a "composed" picture with the deceptive impression that Rush actually said that stuff...I notice there are no "quote" marks around any of the wording and the website where this "artistic" piece is drawn from has an "infantile" flavor to it...

But, should I expect any higher level of intelligent discussions from a lame, liberal attempt at character assassination than that website would supposedly exhibit?

I guess not...so as the "discussion" denigrates, out come the "libo-bombs" of name-calling and other assorted signs of lost causes...

Thanks for the demonstration...

Because , for a person who depends on advertising revenue, any negative comments from his chosen enemy is good publicity for his listeners. He thrives on controversy and folks on this thread are giving him what he needs.

By adding to it, you help him. Congratulations!

Hey, be very careful who you agree with here on this forum...

I got "dinged" this evening...

I've been notified that I have "one" (1) point against me 'cause of what I believe to be my "non-family valued" attempt at humor on another post...and it was removed less than an hour ago...

I wouldn't want my stain of "inappropriateness" to darken your attire or colors...

But, thanks for the "attaboy" - I needed that after last night/this mornig...

Later!

He didn't describe, he pulled the dictionary definition.

Coleman gives you a serious pain? On what?

I live within minutes of his state...he does what to stir up whom?

Oh, wait...I know...he's a Republican...DUH!

Sorry...I forgot that you were sensitive to reality...

My bad!

Keep thinkin' that Al will save the world from Conservatives and all things Republican with his "Every Repo SUCKS!" mantra and everything will be all better...

Would you like a warm glass of milk to go with that thought?

Picture shows a bunch of hammers and sickles. That ain't Rush Limburger.

Might be Michael Moore or Al Farken, but definitely not Rush....

Oh, GOD! Now I'm embarrased to think that I was pleased he thought I made sense on something and that maybe there was hope for him yet because he wasn't a liberal! CRAP!
