Rick Lowery explained it very well on Fox & Friends.
Conservatives believe in limited government
lower taxes
and anti-abortion
Those were the three things he mentioned. I’m sure there are others.
He went on to say that Trump never talks about those things, or very rarely.
They are just not on his radar.
Well, if misguided people succeed in getting the Trumpster in, I have two predictions:
One: (not so sure about this one) He will select Marco Rubio as running mate
Two: He will be a one-term president
Then maybe we can elect a real conservative.
If Lowry speaks for you - you got troubles.
I’ve reached the point I don’t ever want to read or hear “conservative” again. Our dear conservatives in government have allowed this country to be destroyed. They obviously don’t believe in limited government, lower taxes or anti-abortion. They just voted again to support more government, more taxes and abortion.
Why anyone would believe the new “most conservative” politician will do anything differently amazes me. I refuse to be called conservative any longer. I am now American period. I want my country back.
We elected people that promised they’re conservative the last 3 elections (excluding 0b0la), increasing their numbers each time.
They keep promising to fix things but what have they delivered? They’ve delivered everything the dem’s and 0b0la asked for.
Screw ‘em, I’m ready to try something different this time. The way I see it, Trump can’t do any worse and if he does, it’ll be shooting time anyway.
“Low taxes” is not really a moral principle. Once you concede any, it’s just a matter of debate on what’s onerous or not. But it’s hardly a central pillar.
For instance, let’s look at Denmark. It has social democratic institutions and policies but has acted to CONSERVE its norms, values and its social culture of high-trust, low corruption, low interpersonal or political violence by limiting immigration.
Japan is conservative, yet it has many components of what we’d consider leftist policies. It is not the specific policy, necessarily, which renders a country or person conservative, it is the underpinnings of what they articulate and defend. Rendering the planet McWorld is not a conservative ideal. Burke or Kirk are closer than, say, Lowry. It’s a mindset, it’s a stance, it need not hinge on abortion (a kulturkampf distraction) or marginal tax rates.
Conservatives, Inc. on the other hand have thrown their lot in with rootless cosmopolitan billionaires (Zuckerberg, et al) who would cast out thousands of Americans so they can have a captive, lower-paid workforce, just as countless “job creators” have done since even the 19th century. At no point have conservatives acted to defend a coherent American culture, or to the extent they have, they have been defeated again and again-—MAINLY because they did not strongly oppose the influx of peoples alien to our way of life who will make money and live well but never truly absorb or believe in our values, and by the assertion of “America the Idea” we lost all sight of the things that make a people distinct from others and thus were sapped of our ability to ardently defend the nation and its people.
Most European nations had more restrictive abortion laws than the US. Did that make them more or less conservative?
