I'm a Conservative. That doesn't make me a warmonger. That doesn't make me a homophobe. That doesn't make me a self hating homosexual. It doesn't make me a bigot. It doesn't make me a fascist. It doesn't make me unsimpathetic to those less fortunate than myself. It just makes me a Conservative. Just because I don't agree the homosexual lifestyle, Doesn't mean I don't think they have a right to exist. As far as same sex marriage, Why would you want it? It's just more fodder for the lawyers! I've known and been friendly with many gay people in my life and I've never judged them on their lifestyle. And they never judged me for my opinion nor did they feel obligated to shove their beliefs down my throat (I know there's a joke there, But not today, O.K.?). That's what enabled us to be friends. Just because I don't believe that I owe anyone an apology for slavery, Doesn't make me a bigot. I've never owned a slave, Never wanted one. How many generations will waste away waiting for perfection in society? It'll never happen. That does not make me a bigot. It makes me a realist. The fact that I believe in a strong National Security and Border enforcement does not make me a warmonger or fascist. I believe that without National Security, None of the other arguements matter. Because if this great country fails, We probably wouldn't have any say with the next ruling party. I'm also tired of hearing about how insensitive we are toward imigrants. If you come here legally and work toward your own American Dream, God Bless You!! Why should I ascimilate to a culture that just wants to expand and erase mine. I welcome anyone and their beliefs as long as they respect mine. Does that make me a bad guy? As far as those less fortunate... If I can help, I do. But honestly, I'm not exactly swimmin' in money. I could use some help sometimes too, But I have a halfway decent job, So I'm not entitled to the programs I fund with my own tax dollars. I have to work longer hours ( that are taxed to all hell) when I need help. So if I have a problem with a system that gives handouts off of my sweat, Does that make me evil? That's the whole Conservative ideal, Don't expect anything from anyone. Work for a fair living and recieve a fair shake. The Government should be there to protect us, Not dictate what I should believe or who I should feed. I think I can be the judge of who needs my charity most. Does all this make me a bad guy? your call ALWAYS BE PROUD TO BE A CONSERVATIVE!! LINDYY |

EOE/AA is an oxymoron...you can't be both. If you are Equal Opportunity, you will hire anyone regardless of race, gender, ethinicity, etc. as long as they are qualified for the job. If you are Affirmative Action, you only are interested in hiring minorities, hence, you don't want to hire the right person for the job. You are more interested in hiring as a bias. Hence AA is discrimination. In other words....Affirmative Action proves it. You slipped up there, who says the minority is not the right person for the job???? I say it if he/she has no qualifications. |

There's nothing wrong with being conservative.
I'm conservative in many ways. The TYPE of conservative is another story. |

Hence AA is discrimination. In other words....Affirmative Action proves it. Its because a lot of people wouldnt hire minorities (allowing them a chance at decent living) if they could get away with it and it used to be worse in the past because things were more segregated. That's not the case now, so why have it? Why are the Liberals pushing it year after year after year? Why can't things be made simple? Make it all equal opportunity.....I don't know, maybe the simplicity isn't what people want...it just seems like it would work better that way... Know why? Because Affirmative Action proves it. I understand what your saying Space but unfortunately it still is a problem. Its getting a little better with each generation but discrimination in hiring still exists, and everybody deserves the right to have an opportunity to earn a decent wage and pursue a dream. It would be much much worse without affirmative action. I disagree, fo rone very simple reason: Age discrimination. I spent 6 years in ocean rescue. I spent 6 years as a police officer. I am currently in the US Navy. I run an average of 3 miles every other day along with 100 sit ups and 100 push ups. Yet, Fire Departments in Texas will not hire me because I am too old, yet I can do things a lot more than most guys half my age. I call that discrimination. Yet, i can't do anything about it because it is written in law. Plus, in addition, I see a lot of minorities as Fire Cheifs, Captains etc, yet white guys/girls can't seem to get past the rank of Leiutenant. Yep...Affirmative Action proves it. I've been reading some of these posts here, and even though i know this is not in sequence.. i just have to say {{{{{ <<<< Spaceman >>> }}}}} i am soooooo sorry about what i have read here you do easily put men half your years to shame & more not only with who you are ... but... with what you have done in the past and what you do on a daily basis now!!! you absolutely < Smoke> most people i know... i cannot believe the discrimination you are getting please excuse the expression, but... it absolutely sucks |

A real conservative doesn't believe in spending money shamelessly like this administration has done.
Billions of dollars of hard-earned money wasted and still spending. Good thing we have the Chinese to act as our bankers. Then when I hear the Shrub criticizing China's human rights record or Russia going into South Osetia it makes me laugh. He couldn't do anything about either of those things if he wanted to. It's like a toothless lion roaring at a hyena with a full set of fangs. |

Maybe if I was calling George Bush a nazi, It would be o.k.. Maybe BG, if more Republicans would admit to him being what he is(a liar and a criminal,) instead of supporting him at all costs, maybe, then we wouldnt talk about the Republican Party, but rather as Americans we would all talk about Bush! Just a thought! throwin' it in your face... all politicans are crooks. Would YOU like to start with Kennedy Franks Hillary & Bill? Just a thought... |

So would you rather have him say nothing at all since he supposedly can't do anything about China or Russia? Nah, you were one of the those who were *****!ing at the onset before he said anything that he didn't say anything. |

Spell checker? Why would anyone want to use something that helps them converse with others in a way that turns off the glaring spotlight of illiteracy shining upon them as they dance for all to see? If your thinking is as screwed up as your typing indicates, then perhaps you might want to slow down a bit? |
