Yeah I don't stand behind Trump, I'm for Cruz.
As if there is any other way. Don't act like conservatism isn't evil. Progress leads to better healthcare and rights for the oppressed.
Do you want women to vote? Do you want black people to drink from the same water fountains as you?
Top 7 human beings of all time:
- Desmond Tutu
- Stephen Fry
- William Ewart Gladstone
- Phillip Pullman
- jaket-life-is-great
- John Green (thesoundandthefury you are perfect.)
- Any other western secular liberal in existence. because western secular liberalism is the only unrebuttable life stance, see: Bertrand Russell's Philosophy and patterns of human rights and that academics are mostly leftists.
My main points:
I can't think of a single conservative issue that I can agree with knowing what I do about economics, history, and social issues; ceetainly lower taxes and State power over Federal power are preferable in some instances, but across the board? Hell no. And opposition to welfare, opposition to foreign aid, trickle down economics, etc is a hell no to.
Social conservatism is altogether bullshit; traditional gender roles, abstinence education, anti-LGBT, anti-feminism, anti-choice, anti-gun control, anti-CRA, etc. And if you call yourself a conservative, I have to assume you're either in support of some of that or don't care about it, which is just as bad.

Politicians are still trying to defund Planned Parenthood and restrict access to birth control and abortion. A disgusting amount of Americans don't support gay marriage. Creationism and evolution is still somehow an issue. Is it going to destroy society as we know it? No. Is it something you should be blissfully ignorant about? No.

As a person with a natural conservative bent (emphatically not politically conservative), I can give my thoughts. Progress is great—highly desirable, even—but change for its own sake without any progress attached is at best a wash and usually negative. Changing stuff just to make it different without due consideration of possible consequences is somewhere between stupid and outright regressive. All that said:& gt;Minority rights have been duly considered to death and are long past due. Angry old white men are among the worst reasons not to change something. As a general rule, academics literally have it as their job to consider the implications of various things, and there's a reason they're overwhelmingly leftist. If you're disagreeing with the academic consensus in a field, consider that you're almost certainly wrong.& gt;Ditto for economic regulation and mitigating socioeconomic inequality. If nothing else, we should be able to learn from the examples set by social democrats in e.g. western Europe and Canada, none of which have become socialist hellscapes (lolwut) and pretty much all of which have much lower levels of socioeconomic inequality and much better standards of living at the low and middle end than the US.& gt;Modern political conservatives in the US aren't conservative, like, at all. Economic conservatives ("republicans") will do anything at all they think will put more money in the pockets of the rich, while social conservatives ("tea partiers") will do anything at all they think will get rid of demographics they don't like. Neither has any interest in the status quo except in preserving it when it's moving away from their interests.

Slavery was around for 1800 years as Christians refined the rules for slavery. Southern Baptists were literally created to support slavery. 3) Slavery was the societal norm for 1800 years and Christianity endorsed, profited from, and supported slavery. 4) Funny how now fundamentalist /evangelicals want to pretend they would never have supported slavery, when you literally just got down with 2000 years of history and "muh tradition". If you were around in the 1800's you would have supported slavery along with all the other fundamentalist / evangelical denominations. To think otherwise is laughable.
I can imagine you in 1850. "slavery would never had been an issues 10-20 years ago". I can imagine you in 1910 "giving women the right to vote would never have been an issue 10-20 years ago". I can imagine you in the 1960's "letting black people marry white people would never have been an issue 10-20 years ago". Do you start to see how irrelevant your argument is?

Conservatism=Anything that will not be secularly acceptable in 10 years. (Good example: Being against women's voting rights.)
There's a reason the american Supreme Court said evolution is real and abortion and gay marriage are good. They are based on facts. Denying facts is wrong. One has more facts than the other. Liberalism always wins in a fact based setting. I am not anti religion, I am anti conservative. After all, Desmond Tutu and John Green is basically perfect to me. he strikes the perfect balance between spirituality and adhering to reasonable human standards. He is that good. Look him up.
If you are a conservative why do you even use a computer? Or a house? Or even wear clothes? Those are all products of
Progress, your enemy. You should be crapping in the woods right now. Little pricks, leeching off us only playing catch up when we do good. We shouldn't have to sacrifice for you.
Without progress we would still be playing text-based games instead of fully immersive experiences we have experienced since. Do you like rough polygons, conservatives? You shouldn't even be liking pixels. Can anyone here prove me wrong?
