And, I am tried of people posting about conservatives. I want someone who is a patriot, loves AMERICA and our constitution and Bill of rights. That is POTUS TRUMP. Sick to death of people posting about 'conservatives'. I SEE THAT AS JUST VIRTUE SIGNALING. Romney is a conservative....right? ALSO SUPPORTS NWO!
IMO
@LegalAmerican some fight to retain the label "conservative" rather than promote the principles of conservatism. (I might get serious pushback on this, but so be it
) There's also a wide streak of anti-Trump in this.
For most Americans, "conservatism" is not a mystical political philosophy, understood by a handful of superior beings sent to Earth to save humanity. For most of us, conservatism is common sense --- intrinsic to who we are.
We want government with limited avenues to intrude into our lives --- we want an unobstructed right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And where government does have the right to get involved, we want: low taxes and controlled spending, fair global policies that do not harm or disadvantage the American citizen, a strong, reliable national defense, judges who follow the Constitution; we want the rule of law, not the mob, protection of US sovereignty, and protection of our national legacy and birthright.
Call all of this "Conservatism" and they're happy. Call this "America First" and many conservatives lose their minds ---because they refuse to see the principles rather than the label. So we are forced to engage in the most bizarre and self-defeating debate in national politics: 'Which matters most, the label or the goals and results"?
