You might not be a conservative...with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy

If you claim to support traditional marriage and then vote for a man whose laws enshrined homosexual marriage, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

If you claim to be opposed to special rights for homosexuals and vote for a man who legislated special rights for homosexuals, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

If you claim to support the military and vote for a man who is 100% in favor of gays openly derving in the military and 100% supports Obama’s decision to allow gays to openly serve in the military, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

If you claim to be anti-abortion and then vote for a man who put abortion on the McMass $50 menu, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

If you claim that you are conservative or Republican, then vote for a man who does not and has not followed the Republican platform, nor agree with it, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

If you are a believer in the 2nd Amendment and vote for a man who has pushed for and passed any form of gun control legislation, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

If you vote for a man who believes that ‘Mandates work” in a free market system, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

If you go on a private internet site dedicated to conservatism and repeat often that you intend to vote for a candidate who is guilty of all the above, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

If you seem to think you are special and the words ‘do not promote Mitt Romney on this site’ do not in your own mind, apply to you, You just might have abandoned your conservatism.

And lastly...

If you do not understand that a vote for a person and his policies equals support for that person and his policies, You quite possibly never understood what conservatism was to begin with.

EXCELLENT Norm!!

What many 'conservatives' fail to understand is that we are no longer choosing between one party or the other in this alleged 'two party system', oh the party structures are there, and we see the (D) vs (R) facade time after time, but the statists that have set up permanent residence in Washington belong in truth to NO party and have no allegiance at all, except to whatever it takes to preserve their own personal political power. It is the essence of 'McCainism', that putrid practice of 'reaching across the aisle' while waving the fecal banner of 'bipartisanship' in hopes that their self serving deeds are not seen for what they are, a continuning betrayal of We The People, the voters who put them there in the first place.

The GOP long ago ceased to be any sort of true 'opposition' party to the 'Rats, it's all just a game with their faux political adversaries, who they will rant and rave against when the C-SPAN cameras are running, and then afterwards head to the cocktail lounges and the golf courses and clink their glasses, and break bread with their foul 'colleagues'.

It is institutional corruption of the highest order.

And as for this election in November?

The waiter has approached our table, handed us our menus, and informed us that the only two items available today, are the salmonella, and the botulism, which would we prefer?

Uh uh, not this time. That waiter is getting a fist in his ugly face, and his teeth bouncing off the floor.

YOU don’t know me.

I’m as conservative as they get. Worked on the Reagan campaign and many others since.

You might not be a conservative if your actions or inaction of not voting brings this country to it’s knees under communist principles.

These people are dangerous.

I’ll vote for anybody but O.

If you want to continue to call names and label me a RINO, without knowing anything about me, so be it.

I think then, that gives me the right to call YOU a CommieO marxist, socialist enabler.
