The right needs to stop labeling itself as “conservative” - the right is Liberalists....seems stupid, but may sway the proles that the right is not a bunch of church ladies and suits.
I didn't say ”The Right” I said Conservatives. The right can go get fucked. The same with the Leftists. Neither represents me.
And Conservatives are Liberals. At least by what today standards are.
My comment wasn’t directed to yours - it was a thought I had...
The problem is labels in this political environment would be ideal if they were actually accurate. Those that are rioting are Leftists, "The Left" is not separating themselves from this group. "The Left" was known as Liberal because they were freer with ideas at one time, while "The Right" wanted to keep the status quo. Which isn't what is going on now.
"The Right" has the same issue, but in this case, Conservatives have been lumped in with Republicans because of the word actually, Conserve. Conservatives want to take it slow, honestly, they want proof before action. Not do things because of feelings, not to do things because "It's the right thing to do.", etc. There are too many people out there that think Republicans are Conservative when in reality they are no different than the Democrats. The reason for the label Conservative, is because the "Leftist Media" stuck that title to Republicans so that it would make it look like the Democrats are the forward thinkers and the Republicans want the status quo.
For me though, I consider myself a Conservative, but I am also a Liberal in the truest form, and yes you can be a Liberal-Conservative.
You want people to have as much freedom as possible without interfering with life in general or others. Remove the government from your neck, and allow life to actually run its course. Govt is meant to keep you safe, not be an overbearing helicopter-mom.
