In China the two parent family is promoted. So is savings. It doesnt have our freedoms naturally, but it is avoiding our insanity and breakdown. Chinese are much more conservative than Americans, yes, than Republicans!

"Conservative" of what? If you are a conservative of family tradition, then yes, one could argue that China conserves family tradition better than America...maybe...assuming you ignore little things like communist revolutions.... But what does it mean to be a "conservative" in America? For most people it means we are "conserving" the principles of the American founding--i.e., LIBERTY. So the fact that you admitted in your first paragraph that China DOESN'T HAVE FREEDOM, no American conservative should be particularly interested in whatever cheap crap they are "conserving". Got it?

??? You are dreaming. Not in this country. In this country everyone has his hand out to the government, liberal and conservative alike. They just complain when it doesnt work or they think someone else is benefiting more than them. But we have democratic socialism. Under Bush it was spending and government growth will be paid for by tax cuts. Now we have O.

I was talking about conservative values like two parent families, work, savings, taking care of your parents, producing rather than consuming (my grandparents values). Yes, we have MTV and an entitlement society as values making believe it's freedom.

GET IT???
