Conservative rule cannot be functional

[PurgedVoter]

Filter out the stuff about family, life, decency, and law and order since it is very clear that conservatives don't support a bit of it when it comes back to bite them.

Conservative means what the rich want conservative to mean. It means free selfishness. When they say they want a free market, it is a total lie. A free market would not have patents, copyrights, government supported banks or anything else that would put government controls over the market.
What they mean by a free market is no enforceable responsibility for anything if you are rich enough. No environmental protection, no health codes, no safety, no consumer protection, nothing that would allow you to sue a company.

Never let a conservative fool you and say they believe in your right to own what you own. Conservatives in power abuse eminent domain and take property on a regular basis. Then they hand it to wealthy institutions with no guarantee of value returned. They will happily set up laws to steal trusts from the poor, retirement benefits earned and the public commons.

Here is why conservative systems cannot exist, or function outside of fantasy. No true conservative could be trusted to run a fair conservative system. If you believe that unimpeded selfishness and right to property over common good is the way to go, you are not the type that would maintain a balanced market, government or anything else.

When you filter all the things that conservatives are willing to toss under the bus whenever it suits them, you end up with a framework that is either feudalism or organized crime. Conservatism wears a lot of masks, but you can always detect a pure conservative by their lack of compassion.

I grew up in a day when the idea of Spock being logical because he had no emotion seemed to make sense. As time has gone by, I have learned that compassion is a real and important thing and anyone who rules it out has reduced their ability to think clearly.

that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith

2. "A free market would not have patents, copyrights,.." preposterous.

You know copyrights protect authors, playwrights, screenwriters and artists and musicians - copyright law isn't just
for the "rich" nor are patents for that matter. Please also cite documents/links to support that there apparently is an epidemic of
land grabbing per eminent domain by the "rich."
Also, government support per the banks means FDIC insurance
on deposits. You want that to go away - right?

3. The concept of a free market is preposterous

The vacuum of control would not last a second before the greifers, thieves, bullies and grafters took it over. Anyone who wants a free market has no understanding of organized crime, history and human nature. Government is how we manage these things. What we need and will always need is a government of and by the people with established and well balanced controls.

Land grabbing by eminent domain is how Ranger Stadium was built and given to Bush. Land grabbing was the backbone of Trump's wall. If you want to know more about land grabbing, look up the history of Native Americans and don't pretend the pipelines are public good.

My post did not imply in any way what you thought it did. Please read it again.
