Agreed. I’ve spoken with many Democrats and “Independents” (usually a label used by someone who votes Democrat but is afraid to admit it), and they claim to be “conservative”.
However, later in the conversation, they are:
Pro-abortion (”those poor mothers...can’t have back-alley abortions...”)
Anti-gun (”there’s so much crime...”)
Anti-”war” (”What did Iraq do to us in the first place?”)
Pro-immigration (”Those poor people deserve a chance...”)
On and on and on...
I’ve got to learn to type faster — you beat me by 4 minutes!
Agreed:The indoctrinated drones(some of whom I am related to or are “friends”) like the word Conservative but many of them don’t have a clue what it means.
And dontcha love the ones that say, “I’m for the troops but against the war” or “I’m an Independent. I vote for the person and not the party”. Ask them how many Republicans they have voted for in the last four elections...”Um, let me think about that”, ie they didn’t vote at all.
I am afraid that unless there is a drastic intervention of some kind before the next election, we are going to lose to the Libs again due to:
1.Ignorance of the masses,due to brainwashing by the liberal media and/or dishonest Democratic operatives like Acorn.
2.Election fraud. See: Acorn.
3.A clueless,linguine spined Republican party
Thank goodness for Beck, Hannity, Rush,Ingraham and Levin. May they stay safe and continue to carry on their very important missions to support, educate and motivate us Conservatives.
Without sites like FR and their shows to listen to, there would be much more despair amongst those of us who are on the “right” side.
So they’re “compassionate conservative”. Heartwarming.
