From your posts here, you are virtually indistinguishable from a Leftist, and while you claim not to be one, how are we to tell?
Go over to the religion forum and read my posts there, I defend life and marriage and am not a leftist. It’s not about left/right to me, it’s about right/wrong.
Conservatives used to want to expand the middle class, they wanted workers to make more. And if they didn’t always defend unions, at least they weren’t filled with so much hostility towards them.Now, as our good jobs are allowed to go to Mexico and elsewhere, as downward pressure is continually put on wages and Americans struggle to tread water, we are told that one is a leftist/Communist/Socialist if one says this economic theory defended by conservatives isn’t working.
Every once in a while a presidential candidate like a Pat Buchanan, a Ross Perot, a Donald Trump, or a Rick Santorum will say that the worker, that the middle class is not being defended in this country. Of course they get shot down by the Republican establishment and the corporations and we get a loser like Bob Dole, or John McCain or Mitt Romney for President. I say “Enough!”
Many conservatives are actually defending classical liberal economic theory and don’t even know it.
Classical conservative economic theory puts country before globalization. It seeks to protect good jobs in its country, not sacrifice them to the free market in the name of the globaloney. It defends the dignity of the worker, the human being, before it defends the corporation.
