You Might Be a Conservative If.....

me, myself and I | 1/24/12 | me

This is not in any particular order, nor is it complete. Please feel free to add to the list.

This is great! I might be able to add something later but it would take some thought.

I have found that most “independents” are actually conservatives if you ask them their opinion on individual questions (taxes, abortion, gay marriage) etc. I find it amusing (though in a bittersweet way) that independents (and even some registered dems) will agree with everything you say until you conclude “that makes you a conservative” at which point they will back away in horror.

Ahh, what damage the MSM (and RINOs) have done to the “conservative brand”.

>>You believe that EVERYONE’S taxes should be lowered <<

Not those who pay no taxes or, worse, get PAID taxes (EIC).

[righttackle44]

Thank you for the thought you’ve put into your list. Well done.

[Responsibility2nd]

I’m taking issue with this one...

“You believe that EVERYONE’S taxes should be lowered”

First of all, when 47 percent of Americans pay no income taxes, it’s kinda hard to lower them.

Second, if ya wanna be a brain dead liberal, then you should have your taxes INCREASED to pay for liberal projects. And conservatives should get the opportunity to opt out of sending tax money to fund wasteful spending projects.

The only thing I can think of goes like this ... Someone’s personal irresponsibility should NOT become my financial liability.

Just my two cents.

[Question Liberal Authority]

You believe in a woman's right to choose which kind of light bulb to buy.

You believe that a person casting a ballot for President Of The United States should be prepared to show at least as much identification as a person renting a video.

[reformed_dem]

This will be perceived by some moderates as sexist since you don't focus on the sperm donor as well as the woman. How about, "You choose to respect life".

Yeah, I like that. I wanted something in there about a man's choice, but liberals don't care about that.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Yes, it is viewed as the "Bed Meddler" brand.

We needn't do that, God already has it covered.

[reformed_dem]

Someone’s personal irresponsibility should NOT become my financial liability.

Good one!

[reformed_dem]

Good point.

[sodpoodle]

Well done;)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Adding to this list waters it down and defeats it’s purpose...defining Conservatism. It is a tad long as it is. But it’s good.

[reformed_dem]

Part of letting the left control the definition.

[reformed_dem]

Thanks!

If the woman was foolish enough to have sex without a contract (marriage license) then we, as gentlemen should presume immaculate conception.

The state should not pay her a wage for an illegitimate child (it's a bastard, not a job) nor should it hunt him down and take his wages - he can't force her to keep it so she shouldn't be allowed to force him to pay for it.

Harsh but I bet we'd see a lot less of that nonsense.

[reformed_dem]

Freedumb made that observation above and I concede that I should have worded it differently.....Perhaps just say that we are "Taxed Enough Already

[reformed_dem]

Thanks!
