Self proclaimed Conservatives can't even give you a meaning of what the definiton of "Conservative" is, and usually any postitions they claim are conservative are big spending positions such as Strong National Defense, but in essence when you call them out that the majority of the 800+ billion dollar a year foreign policy includes massive waste that has nothing to do with National Security they just murmur that you are a liberal, which makes no sense when we as Libertarians are the most fiscally conservative amongst all RINO er I mean Republicans. I can name numerous examples but this is the first that comes to mind, and in my mind if you are not fiscally conservative, then you are not a conservative PERIOD!!

Well...apparently none of these...

...are desirable conservative qualities.

Or MAYBE those so called "conservatives" really have no idea what the hell a conservative really is.

Neocons hijacked the term "conservative" in much the same way as progressives hijacked the term "liberal."

Ron Paul is one of only two candidates competitive with Barack Obama. He’s one of only two candidates who will be on every state ballot. Of course, he’s the ONLY candidate with a 100% limited government conservative voting record.

Why don't you define clearly here what a "Conservative" is and then we will decide if you and Ron Paul are being unfairly denied inclusion. Go ahead now, just tell us how we can recognize you as one of "them".

I actually DO know and have given you examples of how I define the term and how others of similar persuasion define it.

The definition you are looking for is here:

which I agree might be what the far, far right still clings to, but by which most Americans would rise up in revolt at.

Keep it up and you folks might just get the revolt you seem to want.

People should be taking heed of the activities of their relatives in the armed services. They’re at the “business end” of all this and if they’re sending their money that they had to put their life on the line to earn to Ron Paul, they obviously know something that a lot of folks back home seem to be unware of. You know the old saying, Actions speak louder than words.

Why don't you talk to him? I don't have to defend his statements simply because he supports the same candidate that I do. Grow up and realize that you're going to run into some boneheads in life but you can't find them guilty by association.

Trying to stop Ron Paul reminds me of the little Dutch boy trying to plug holes in a breaking damn. A voice speaks the truth and they attempt to silence it, then 10 more voices speak out, and say "We want Our Constitution back." The rats fear the truth, but they can't shut us all up. Not this time.

Paul is a Libertarian, not a conservative. He is conservative on economics but as far to the left as one can get on immigration. A country with open borders loses its character and what defines it as a country. Once the immigrant demographic becomes large enough, no conservative will ever be elected again. Paul's policies would be political and social suicide for America.

There is nothing conservaive about the people who call themselves "social conservatives". The fact that they want the government involved in pushing their beliefs on others takes the conservatism right out of them.

reply
Steve ☮... to Wolfman 2012/02/12 17:47:09

LOL. The funniest thing in all of this is that fact that you can't see the irony in the group known as "social coservatives". They are the ones who want the government to impose their beliefs on others. There is nothing conservative about these people. But keep believing there is.

You can be anything you want to be. Ron Paul is a libertarian however, which does not translate to conservative. YOU can be whatever you want, but stop with the belief mix matching, it's annoying as all hell. You certainly can't deny Paul is a libertarian, he admits it, proudly! As he should - there's nothing wrong with that. However it's a different way of political belief.
