Poll question: So, what kind of America do Conservatives REALLY want?

Look at these tea parties, the Republican Party, Free Republic, etc.

What do they really want America to be?

[xchrom]

1. a 'virtuous citizenry' the likes of fundies

are easy to control -- and the coporate oligarchs have benefitted greatly from that alliance.

so it's mix and match of all on that list.

[tridim]

2. They want America to be "Number 1!!!!" in all the horrible and illegal categories.

[tosh]

6. No taxes, no services, no regulation on business but

total regulation on issues that should logically be individual choices ie: who we marry, safe and legal birth-control or peregnancy termination, what our kids are taught in school, on and on.

Edit: meant to reply to OP. ooops.

3. United States of Somalia: Small govt, no taxes, no regulations, guns everywhere! n/t

[RaleighNCDUer]

13. We can all be Pirates!

Arrgh!

[get the red out]

18. Maybe not

I have a feeling that once the powerful conservatives got all their systems in place the libertarian types would be in for a rude awakening regarding guns. The Jesus brand would come out in favor of gun control at that point.

4. they need to keep a bit of the poor, and a few liberals around

If only to spit on the liberals, and feel superior to the poor.

[JDPriestly]

5. A nation of Christians that do torture unto others but not unto themselves.

[peace frog]

7. They want a nation comprised

of people "just like them". If you fall into the category of "other" then you'd better hit that old trail of tears - you are persona non grata in Ameri-Con.

[stillcool]

8. I think Pakistan is a good model..

[indepat]

9. Conservatists want a corporatist, fascist, totalitarian police state theocracy. See, that was not

so hard. :P

[LSparkle]

10. CHINA ... laissez-faire capitalism/authoritarian govt. in hands of few n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. I'd have to ask, what conservatives?

one mistake liberals make is to think that all conservatives are alike.

They're not

[Turbineguy]

12. Maybe they want all that stuff

and a free lunch to go with it, but mostly what they don't want are unintended consequences.

[YOY]

14. Remember the world of Snake Plissken from Escape from NY/LA?

That one. Escape from LA detailed it better.

[newportdadde]

15. One where they have a lot of money. That is what it all really is.

[Johonny]

16. The magic 1950s

that only exists in nostalgic movies about the 1950s.

[Union Yes]

17. Other. A 1920's America.

[taught_me_patience]

19. A feudal society

where serfs work the land in indentured servitude.
