AEG#4 has hit the airwaves. This week: The internal battle within the GOP between the old-line "big government" Republicans (you might know them better as "Moderates", "Compassionate Conservatives", "Establishment Republicans", or "John McCain") and the new-line Modern Conservatives (typified by the Tea Party movement, though that movement does not entirely encompass this new generation of Conservatives). In the run-up to 2012, the battle of "Obama vs. Everybody Else" might possibly take a backseat to the "Conservatives vs. RINO" battle going on within the GOP!
For over 40 years, Conservative White Guys (CWG's) have been criticized, villified, and blamed for nearly every problem that has existed in our nation. We're routinely called racists, bigots, or worse (accusations that, for the majority of us, are untrue). Therefore, in the spirit of open communication, this will serve as an opportunity for those of you who have not been properly exposed to Conservatism to have your questions answered by a real-life CWG!

I don't believe this....your response in the last post.
ReplyDeleteLOOK, you look like a t-shirt wearing punk at a heavy
metal concert. To put it in terms you can relate to,
you know the stuffy old fashioned "Father Knows
Best" "Leave it to Beaver" days? You get me now?
NO, every man should not look like Mr Rogers
and a carbon copy of Beaver's family of
course not. I mean the status quo of
conservatism a guy like you would consider
too nerdy, or outdated. You're like an
Animal House guy who laughs at
Nedermyer,get it now??? Conservatism
is a pro family,pro establishment,
pro Christian way of life. Not the
tyranny of Catholicism either, I
mean your standard respectable
family unit of yesteryear which
has become so lost ,A guy like you
"thinks" he's conservative.
YOU are no where near far
enough to the right. At all.
Who cares about fiscal
conservatism when the
character of American people
are lost to social cultural
conservatism.
Wow...this might be the first time in my life that anyone has referred to me as "no where near far enough to the right"! I don't think that you'll find a bigger proponent of the American Family than I, and a "pro family, pro Christian" agenda is definitely a large part of my politics. In terms of the character of the American people, I believe that character is something that is forged by the family, religion, and the church...I do not believe it can be effectively forged by a government or by academia. Hence, I believe in large-scale deconstruction of these type of institutions as I believe they have grown to the point that they *interfere* with our rights to forge the character and morality of our children and our families.
ReplyDeleteYou might not like the way I dress, but I suspect I have a lot more in common with the fictional Ward Cleaver than you might expect.
