"Conservatives" are traitors.

[baldguy]

15. I disagree; conservatives are not traitors.

Merely having a different view of the issues of the day is not, in and of itself, proof of treason. And conservatism has a long & proud history - both in America and around the world. The real problem is that the people on the other side, though they may claim the title, aren't conservatives.

Conservatives want to keep the world as it is, or return to the world as it was. The people on the other side want to create a world that never existed.

Conservatives believe that govt should be small, not so it can be weak & ineffectual, but so it can respond to the people's needs quickly and efficiently. The people on the other side want to eliminate any govt they can't own, or that may actually enforce the law equally.

Conservatives - Republicans - want the govt to be a republic, to represent all of the people through periodic elections where everyone votes. The people on the other side want to eliminate elections and voting.

Conservatives are suspicious of all large faceless bureaucratic organizations with power. The people on the other side are only suspicious of such organizations when they exist to help people in some way.

Conservatives will root for America always, no matter who's in charge. The people on the other side only root for America when they're in charge, otherwise they work to destroy it.

Conservatives are not traitors. Unfortunately, the people on the other side are not conservatives.
