Why are American "Conservatives" the most activist, interventionist control freaks ...?

Question

in the nation's history.

They don't want status quo, they want an economically laisse faire theocractic police state and the carte blanche to invade any country, any time, at will.

compared to that radical agenda, American "liberals" look like ultra-conservatives!

Answer 1

It's true. The far right are radicals.

Answer 2

Status quo isn't necessarily a good thing. Why do you assume it is? And why do you have to lie about what conservatives actually want? Is lying and liberalism synonymous? Is the liberal agenda only advanced if you lie about it? Can it not stand up to truth?

Economically - open markets. Not exactly laissez faire, but without government intrusion - no corporate welfare and specified tax breaks, no agricultural welfare and protectionism.

Theocratic? What a load of horse manure you're pushing there. Why are you afraid of leaders who are religious? Do you also hate the founding fathers, who invoked God's blessing on everything they did? Ever read anything Washington wrote or spoke? He also invokes the Creator quite a bit. What we cannot figure out is the left's visceral hatred of religion and religious people, and their violent war against the right to freely practice religion.

Police state? Another laugher. Actually conservatives would like less government - less intervention of government into our private lives, our private businesses, our churches, our schools, our families. This bogeyman stems from the left wanting to protect terrorists, by exposing and eliminating necessary national security intelligence programs to find, detect and prevent terrorists. This 'police state' bogeyman disappears when confronted with actual facts.

Invade any country, any time. Uh, you have a problem with US sovereignty? Any sane country reserves the right to go to war as they deem necessary. I don't recall the liberals getting all upset when Clinton bombed Iraq or attacked Serbia, without provocation or UN approval.

Sadly, you are right that it is a radical agenda. Freedom, personal and economic, and personal responsibiilty are still radical ideas not widely accepted in the world.

Liberals are not 'conservative', but more 'reactionary'. Their agenda mirrors Feudalism more than anything else, but with the liberal elite as the nobility, showering us peasants and serfs with their 'noblesse oblige' ideas of taking care of us for our own good.

Answer 3

I just note that the closer we come to election, there is a lot of mud slinging.
What I really note is that most party affiliations want to disenfranchise someone.
I would faint if I saw an American who really said, "I want to vote the party that is going to help everyone", instead of, "I will vote for these people if they hurt that guy, throw those people out, or, Keep that group down".
I really do note motivation in my life.
There are a lot of people out there who would watch someone drowning, and their attitude would be, "bye, hope you have a nice trip".

Answer 4

Here, here. I am still trying to find out what exactly happened to the contract on America that I heard so much about in 1994

Answer 5

Don't see any fiction in that list, except for the definition of "police state".

They have an agenda, there shouldn't be a surprise at that. That they are sometimes hypocritical in pursuing it is just politics.

Answer 6

What are you babbling about? You make no sense. How many marches do conservatives organize in order to scream their views down anothers throat?

Answer 7

Spoiled rotten as children and now suffering from small man syndrome.

Answer 8

W/E

Maybe we're happy people and would like to stay that way.

Thanks for asking.

Answer 9

And where did you get that crap from?
The DNC web site?
Typical Democrat lies as usual
