Tribute to a conservative: Pissant

Because the religious right is the most visible champion of social conservative values today, and the secular socialists have worked so hard to make sure that social conservatism is defined as some right-wing religious extremism, it is in vogue to refer to social conservatives as some mutant breed of social Nazis.
(snip)
However, in reality, social conservatism actually has little to do with religion. In fact, until recent years, when the Democratic Party became run by Democratic Secular Socialists, it wasn’t even an idea limited to the right or Republicans. It was a very fundamental American precept shared by most Americans on all sides of the political spectrum. It was simply about individual responsibility and accountability, always inherent with individual right’s.
Is it just a right-wing effort to legislate morality?

PING!!! ;)
Anything or anyone that reflects AMERICAN CORE VALUES, especially CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES is a “zazi thing”, “an extremist element”, to the Marxist socialists trying to take over America and crush individual freedoms. At least that is how they want their radical fringe voting mob to see it, along with how they want THE MSM TO PRINT IT.
Can’t believe I forgot to PING you to this one! ;)
“However, in reality, social conservatism actually has little to do with religion.”
That’s kind of a lie.
I always thought the term ‘conservative’ was not very good.
We should just call ourselves ‘the normals’.
If one does not respect and protect the sanctity of self-determination and personal choice, how can they be trusted to protect and preserve life?
Right to Free Speech -- Freedom to Keep Views Private

Right to Worship -- Freedom from Compulsion of Worship
Right to Life -- Freedom to Choose to Die
Great article. By trying to label social conservatives as right-wing religious fanatics, liberals hide the fact that social conservatives base their views, not just upon their religious values, but on logic.
One thing JB points out “America is built upon a belief in individual rights, not special rights for individual minority voting blocs. America is nothing more than a vast collection of minority blocs, none of which have more power than the other, or at least they aren’t supposed to have,” is exceedingly important. This is why multiculturalism as defined by separatist ethnic assistance groups-turned-lobbyists should not receive federal funding.
We are in dire need of a leader to take us back to these principles.
Exactly!
How?

When one takes the life of another, how can it be defined as “self-determination?”
I’d say “Amen” except that would be religious expression and some who believe in “freedom from religious expression” would be offended... LOL
I saw one secular socialist troll here already...

You bet!
Certainly no one can stop you from killing yourself. What social conservatives object to is the wish of many in the Right to Die movement to corrupt the medical establishment in order to commit suicide more comfortably.
Most of us don’t want to visit a hospital, or have friends and family visit a hospital, and wonder if some doctor or nurse might think we’re better off dead.
Kill yourself? Sure. I don’t think it’s right, but I can’t stop you. But I will oppose efforts to turn the health industry into a death industry.

Gon, please explain of what use “self-determination and personal choice” is to someone who doesn’t have life.
Obviously — duh — life must be protected first, or any other right, determination, or choice is irrelevant.
