Wow!

I haven't heard anything that profound since a meeting of the Socialist Revolutionary Party (Trotskyite) at the University of Chicago back in 1980!

Are you sure you're not Bob Avakian?

Anyhoo, remember, to avoid the "sound and fury, signifying nothing" problem, please recall that brevity is the soul of wit.

Be Seeing You,

after reading that...I've been thinking here...

The "no_brains_no_commonsense" screenname isn't taken.

[katnip]

Rather, the collective raising of the foundation of society is what is needed

Is that kinda like "It takes a Village to raise a child"?

No thanks.

Another neo-Marxist still pissed about the falsification of the labor theory of value.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Where did you get such a distorted view of conservatives and the right? Let me guess. School! Right?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

I believe in complete and total freedom. In the US we do not have that. We have freedom compromised to a point with security, which is not freedom by definition, or by practice.

I assume you are talking about anarchy. If you can not see the obvious non-starter in that philosophy you won't find much help here.

Anything outside of the "normal" is to be destroyed, looked down upon

Not at all.

Only you ;).

[telebob]

Well...I guess he told us. I feel humbled and ashamed. What was I thinking?

[Paradox]

Sounds like me as I left highschool behind me.

Of course, I grew up, and realized the forces that you describe here, come from the LEFT....

[green team 1999]

not this again!

[Brett66]

Your evil.

The nature of conservative politics is very much of the status quo,...

Wrong, *bzzzzzzzt*. Politics on the right today is revolutionary, and has been since President Reagan took office.

These (tax cuts) represent a turnaround of almost a half-century of a course this country's been on and mark an end to the excessive growth in government bureaucracy, government spending, government taxing. --President Reagan on the largest tax cuts in history.

That "conservative" politics is revolutionary is lost on the left, which thinks it owns the war against poverty, racisim, and all other injustices. Each time society had to change, progressive thinking was required. I'm here to say that the right in this country now holds that baton of "forward thinking." The left dropped it years ago when they asked us to lose the Vietnam war.

Sure the right is asking Americans to "look back" at their heritage, but more than that, the right is urging Americans to look forward again, to build and develop, not to settle into the depths of self-loathing pessimism.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

[dfwgator]

by the way, I'm not liberal and neither are many groups on the left

Now you got that one right, the lefties hijacked the word "liberal" years ago, but they are about as liberal as Hitler and Stalin.

[piasa]

The nature of conservative politics is very much of the status quo, the standards set by society for itself and which is harshly regulated by the establishment and by the right.

Nope. Conservatism is to adhere to the constitution- that is most certainly NOT done by adhering to the status quo, as our Republic has strayed from its Constitution owing to years of corrosive, self-centered "three wolves and a sheep democracy" socialist politics.

Anything outside of the "normal" is to be destroyed, looked down upon, or forgotten.

Conservatives are conservationists. We don't destroy. We reform. I get the impression that you are FEELING lonely and alienated, like some sort of outcast, and you have probably tried to get the attention you craved by behaving outlandishly. Unfortunately for you, you discovered that while you did get attention, you didn't get respect, and this has left you even more alienated, if not bitter. So rather than consider your own behavior a potential suspect in your misery, you blame America and conservatives for your alienation and come to FreeRepublic, of all places, still seeking attention, even if it were only a zot.
