“If you’re so under the sway of the MSM or too dense to recognize the fact, there’s little we can say or do to change your misconceptions.”
Ah, Freepers, you seem to be so knee-jerk in response to any statement that you disagree with that you go off in tantrums.
I am neither pro illegal immigration, nor pro abortion. I am conservative.
But I am advocating that Conservatives figure out a way to present their viewpoints in a more acceptable way. You get more flies with honey than vinegar, ... The liberals figured this out long ago. That’s why they obtain power and manage to keep it.
But based on the reaction to what Pres. Bush wisely said, I don’t hold much hope for you all. And if you all represent conservatism, I predict that we are done for.
I would propose on the immigration thing, that instead of threatening to deport all the folks who are here, we take the position that we want to help them assimilate and become part of the American Dream. A conservative approach would be to help them form small businesses with lower tax burdens.
In the case of abortion, rather than threatening to put young girls in jail, we take the position that we want to help mothers by preventing the physical, psychological and emotional harm they will face if they go through with an abortion. A conservative approach would be to help these young mothers in church- or faith-based groups that would help them raise their babies.
But again, based on the reaction here to what Bush said and what I said, I don’t hold out much hope for you who call yourselves conservatives.
I call BS,,, name one republican politician who has advocated *imprisoning* girls for getting an abortion.
I didn't say that you were. So, why are you defending yourself?
I am conservative.
Somehow, I doubt that.

How about we send all the folks who are here illegally home? Then find a way to help all the immigrants who are here legally assimilate and become a part of the American dream? Indeed, why is it that you are, yourself, incapable of making a distinction between who is here legally and who is not?"
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
