Actually, YES , I have a great deal of problems with your post . Conservativs do NOT go around telling other countries who to install as president,or whatever title they may have , nor do they " install " OUR exact form of governance upon them. We did NOT do that in Japan . Go lok it up; you are in great need of learning historical facts.

We support Israel, which is a democracy, we support India, which is a democracy, and FYI, we helped install a demcoracy and oust the MARXIST Sandinestas, albeit covertly, when Dems were all for NOT doing that. My, my, how little you know. I could go on teaching you factoids, but you'd be better served, if you go look it all up yourself. : - )

You are falling into a huge trap, and don't even realize it. THE USA IS NOT AN EMPIRE ! Neither, BTW, are we a " democracy ! We are a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC ! What you popose is SO far from Conservative thought, ideals, and positions, as to be laughable. Are you quite certain that you even know what Conservatives stand for ?

I have EVERY right, to question someone else's Conservatism. It's done here ALL of the time ! Where have you been ? Those who have shown contempt, rudeness, and incivility , on this thread, are loutish, crude, and beneath contempt. The subject of this thread is apolitical ; in case you haven't noticed.

Well, then I must not be a Conservative, since I believe in freeing the worl of tyrrany. Conserving old-world ways is clearly not my cup of tea if I think that people in Iraq, or China should have the right to representaation. Excuse me!

Your brand of Conservatism sounds like tyrrany to me. It seems you want to "conserve" all the tyrranical governments of the world, simply because they already exist. Don't you think that the people should be free to choose their leaders? Do you believe that more nations should be republics, or do you think only the people of the US deserve that? Let's spread it around a bit.

Try to temper your indignation with wisdom. Kind Regards-
