After bedding with Simcox, Tancredo, and Hunter, conservatives wonder why moderate voters reject conservatism.
Voters believe conservatives have no compassion for inferior races. Conservatives are not to be trusted. Conservatives tell voters every day, with their hatred of Obama. Enjoy minority status for the next decade. Liberals will make the laws we live under.
I hate Obama, but I wouldn't say it to a voter. I hate my job, but I wouldn't say it to the ass who writes my paycheck. Conservatives live in a fantasy world where we inform the enemy of our intention to eliminate them and expect no repercussions.
That's quite a sloppy brush you're wielding there.
If those three names define "conservatism" for you I am wasting my time reading your posts.
Speaking for myself, I admire Tancredo, and anyone who considers him an extremist, can't possibly be a moderate by any rational definition. In addition, he addresses only one of the major problems we need to deal with. We have a few others as pressing and far reaching.
As for Simcox and Hunter, I don't know who they are, and don't care to.
In summary, most of the regular Freepers I see daily are conservative. Anyone who views them as "extremists" is in the wrong forum and very much conflicted.
I would question the motives, awareness of history and the judgement of anyone who must wield labels and ad hominem as an appeal to reason.
