      What is a "pure" conservative?

      I'm just curious about what everyone thinks people should believe before they may call themselves conservative. If you owned a Conservatives-only Club. What's you're membership requirements?

      Jeb Bush: "I Used To Be A Conservative..."

      When you get someone like Jeb commenting like this, and distancing himself from the current crop of "conservatives", that says something. This go around may well see the "conservative" movement relegated to the ash heap. They're abandoning the middle for the fringes and playing to fear...

      Which Republican Candidate Is More Conservative?

      That's the question they and their supporters will be asking over the next year. As Laurence Vance at the FFF points out, tho, it really doesn't matter in the long wrong. Conservatives are all about big government, regulation and all the things their supporters supposedly abhor. Just like their...

      Bush was no fiscal conservative

      Bush was no fiscal conservative, although he attempted to call himself one. Now our current big-spenders in Washington continue to paint Bush's brand of statism in the same way, in order to demonize all laissez-faire capitalism. In reality they are following all the same fiscal policies...

      Conservatism

      I've been thinking a lot, lately (dangerous, I know) about politics, conservatism, liberalism, etc... I've been trying to learn to articulate my views well, and to truly understand why I have them. In other words, I want to be able to state concisely and convincingly what exactly I believe...

      The Roots Of The Conservative Movement

      via Facebook comes this new piece by the Southern Avenger at the American Conservative. He takes a look at the origins of conservatism and who gave birth to whom. Conservatism arose from libertarianism, not vice versa. And the modern usurpation of the movement by the neo conservative movement...

      The differences between a "conservative" and a "libertarian"

      I saw a little discussion about this and realized that not everyone is that familiar with the differences between these two brands of political thinking. I thought this would be a worthwhile discussion to have here. This group contains a wide variety of people, both Conservatives and...

      Conservative and a Liberal (both love guns)

      Here's a thread from the Long Guns forum that I am moving because it started to get political. https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/long_guns/64222-fbi_buys_20mm_rifles.html After getting pretty heated last night because I loathe Nancy Pelosi and another member was defending her (and he...

      Difference Between Liberals & Conservatives

      Found this on the "other" forum I frequent, Difference Between Liberals & Conservatives If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian...

      Libertarianism versus Conservatism

      Long read but a good one; worth the five minutes. There are two ways to define 'libertarianism': philosophical and political. The philosophical definition refers to a theory of natural rights, which holds that it is necessarily wrong to interfere coercively with voluntary exchange and private...

      How I became so conservative so fast

      Return to the Article August 06, 2009 By Robin of Berkeley I get asked by readers all the time: how can you go from left to right at such a rapid fire pace? Were you a conservative all along? Are you just yanking our chain; you're really still a liberal in conservative clothing...

      Conservatives v. Liberals/Liberals v. Conservatives

      So, here is my political rant. I am sure that everyone who reads this will probably disapprove. But, here it goes. I think "Liberals" and "Conservatives" are almost the same people. It has become apparent to me in the last 9 years, that when President Bush was in office, "Liberals and/or...

      What Kind of Conservative Are You?

      We've had a lot of threads lately that refer to "real conservatives," getting rid of the RINOs, "moving to the right," and "returning to conservative roots." My question is, what kind of conservatism are you talking about? There are lots of different sub-types of conservatives, and they...
