I wish I could sit down with #NeverTrump and ask them, "When YOU say Conservative, what the hell do YOU mean?"

Bill Mitchell ‏@mitchellvii: "Trump is the NEW Conservatism. A Conservatism based on listening to the voters and getting results - not enriching and empowering the Elite."

[Veracious Poet]

When YOU say Conservative, what do YOU mean?

I used to think I was a "Conservative", but then I did a bit more of a study of Our origins and discovered I an an AMERICAN:

The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions. ~ John Locke 1690

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed...

Let me give you my Forrest Trump answer: “Conservative is, as conservative DOES”.

[DesertRhino]

They mean “republican” of course! And that they are -slightly- to the right of the communist party worshiping democrats.

“I an an AMERICAN”

AMEN! Me too!!!

[Rome2000]

Exactly.

The number of politicians in DC that adhere to the Constitution and the Republic our Founders established for us is ZERO.

Our Republic died in 1865, when Lincoln and the Republicans murdered the Sons of the Founders and established a Federal tyranny.

The game at hand is to neutralize the Apparatchiks on the Potomac.

The instrument is Donald J. Trump.

This is a war against the Washingtonians.

All bets are off.

Patriots, beware that “conservative” is a misleading, PC term imo. The real issue is the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers and associated limited power to appropriate taxes.

• “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. ...” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Someone should send the above, plus the following, to Mr. Trump:

Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience. ~ John Locke 1690

Maybe he can wake up the owners of this Republic, before it's too late...

[Bogie]

LOL! Well said!

[coldoc]

The same could be asked of various other terms used commonly to conjure up negative thoughts: EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN, RACIST, DENIER, SEXIST...

I believe this is another form of ad-hominum attacks used by small minds to try to exert some control over things they know nothing about and probably don’t have the mental capacity to understand. These tend to be heavily represented in Leftist, Liberal, Progressive, and dependent groups/organizations.

Their repeated over-use of all these terms brands them as the intellectually deficient people they are.

Did you know that, at the end of the Civil War, there were more prostitutes in Washing DC than in any other city on our planet?

[niki]

I agree. I know longer have any idea what it means. Seems to mean anti-American globalist neocon with no loyalty to We the People.

[Peter ODonnell]

For me, a conservative is one who believes in limited government, the rule of law, the supremacy of the constitution, the special role of God in human affairs, balanced with a regard for free will and an acceptance of no established state religion. Furthermore, it is a political frame of mind in which responsibility is at least as important as rights, where entitlement is earned and not given out to those who have produced nothing of value.

In actual practice, a conservative is a guy who gets along with the local business elite, who bangs on about patriotism while looking for ways of avoiding military service, and who says he is for family values just after banging the maid.

>I mean, how many other people has been hired by Trump for the express purpose of promoting Trump on conservative forums like FR?

You're completely off base and you should apologize for machine that accusation with evidence.

I've watched paid Hillery and Cruz trolls this year and what they primary do is push campaign themes or try to demoralize in a very uniform manner. Actually supporters tend to be much more scattered and off message. It's quite obvious that BFAC and people like second division vet are big fans of their respective candidates rather than paid trolls.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Yep!

[rockinqsranch]

The Republican Party, the GOPe have pretty much succeeded over the past two decades redefining the perception of conservatism.

They have people believing conservatism is them, and whatever today they want to sell conservatism as.

I like the idea of putting the GOPe on the spot, and making them spit it out of their lying mouths as to what they think conservatism is. It needs to be a daily question until the confusion causes a demand for truth.

Make America Great Again.

Thank you so much!
