What does it mean to be a conservative, exactly?

It doesn't matter to you, so why do you care? I'm not about to get into a "debate" over what the definition of "is" is. The point is that you are not a conservative. I suggest you find a forum with those who are like you.

This ain't it.

Let me miss you.

In other words you can't answer the question.

What's the matter? Don't like being challeneged?

Let's discuss what it means to be a conservative. Support for government schools? Corporate bailouts with taxpayer money? Perscription drug subsidies? Crop subsidies? Billions in foreign-aid? Stricter enforcement of unconstitutional gun-control?

Is George W. Bush a conservative? Did you know he hasn't vetoed a single piece of legislation since taking office? Is that what a conservative does? I thought conservatives were supposed to be for smaller government. How come we have a $165 billion deficit for 2002? Is it because the Democrats spent too much?

I suggest you find a forum with those who are like you.

Actually, many on this forum genuinely support the objectives listed in the FR mission statement. You know, things like rolling back decades of liberal/socialist public policy and eliminating waste, fraud, abuse and corruption in government. Are Republicans in Congress rolling back decades of liberal/socialist public policy? (that's a 'yes' or 'no' question)
