Conservatives have their own country: the U.S.A.

The U.S. Media is owned by huge Corporations run by ultra right wing Republicans Fox (Murdoch), General Electric (Immelt), Viacom (Redstone), Time-Warner (Parsons), Disney (Iger), Clear Channel (Mays), and Sinclair (Smith.)

Half of discretionary income taxes goes to the Pentagon in the U.S.A., leaving education and housing programs underfunded in the inner cities and now 47 Million Americans have no health insurance and another 50 Million are underinsured in the West's only For-Profit Private Healthcare system.

New Orleans was the text book example of the failure of the trickle down Conservative "Free Market" Ideology:

"The free market played a crucial role in the destruction of New Orleans and the death of thousands of its residents. Forewarned that a momentous (force 5) hurricane was going to hit that city and surrounding areas, what did officials do? They played the free market.

They announced that everyone should evacuate. Everyone was expected to devise their own way out of the disaster area by private means, just like people do when disaster hits free-market Third World countries."

The lasting legacy of both Reagan and W. Bush is the failure of "Trickle-Down Economics" to help 80% of Americans. Inequality in the united States is the worst of all Democracies and is the most stratified since 1929.

Although wages have stagnated since Bush took office, corporate profits have doubled. The gap between the nation's CEOs and average workers is now ten times greater than it was a generation ago. And while Bush's tax cuts shaved only a few hundred dollars off the tax bills of most Americans, they saved the richest one percent more than $44,000 on average. In fact, once all of Bush's tax cuts take effect, it is estimated that those with incomes of more than $200,000 a year -- the richest five percent of the population -- will pocket almost half of the money. Those who make less than $75,000 a year -- eighty percent of America -- will receive barely a quarter of the cuts. In the Bush era, economic inequality is on the rise.

Boy, it truly is a humorous one... I view Y/A as entertainment. I actually have a actual interest which will pay six figures and am sitting at my table typing this jointly as I devour lunch. The 'actual worldwide' is deceiving YOU. How else would prop 8 have surpassed, interior the main present day state interior the US? And in case you think of we are going to pass away by ability of ability of your pathetic rant, you're in for a rude awakening.

Country Clubs with intelligent discourse regarding their investiments and overseas corporate tax dodges, tittlating laughter of the wives speaking of days at the spa, and how the money is flowing like milk and honey. When the party is over they will go home to estates where the 'hep' is waiting to answer their every whim. The hep is culled from those lesser beings who have allowed themselves to become subservient to their 'betters' and acknowledged that they are incapable of having an idea of what constitutes good governance. They are those who due to financial circumstances, ethnicity, religion or color of their skin are deemed 'lesser' beings. Those who don't become subservient, live in ghettos on the outskirts of the metropolis of the rich (sort of like the shanty towns of the post civil war) and scrounge for meager sustinance. Whenever the conservative has to make a move that he is 'bettering' his society, he holds a round up of miscreants from this area, and at best they are held in 're-education' camps, and at worst 'disappeared'....the whole while, his campaign headquarters, at the club, is attended to by his compatriots and their blond, blue eyed, blue blooded spouses and offspring.........all fighting the urge to extend their right arm to it's full length in salute.


Oh, I forgot to add that the subservients do not have the right of franchise, since they are lesser beings, they do not know the 'right' way to vote........easier to control that way.

It'd be the most prosperous nation on the earth. Also the most adult society, where people take responsibility for their own lives, rather than making excuses that others are preventing them from succeeding. It would have the lowest crime rates in the world too, both from tough justice and everyone owning guns to defend themselves.

However it probably lack in things like National Parks, art, and public transportation.

It would be a fascist police state, and this country is heading in that direction already! In some ways, it has already begun...it is just a matter of degree! *sm*

If conservatives had their own country, they would have a capitalist system of economics, a representative form of government similar to what we have now, a strong military, a justice system built on the premise of personal accountability and punishment for committing crimes, very limited government, very few government programs for citizens, and a country where everyone was basically responsible for caring for themselves, providing for themselves, and planning their futures for themselves. What would a conservative country lack? It would have almost no environmental regulation, very few programs to help the impoverished and underprivileged, no illegal aliens, no recognition of homosexual marriage or civil union, no such thing as animal rights, and minimal government regulation of businesses. Sound good? Sound bad? Probably a bit of both.

It would immediately declare on the United States of America, because they wouldn't want its inhabitants getting any funny ideas about this "freedom" thing or the "constitution" (all way too inconvenient!)

Don't forget the work camps for the dissenters. Those are the ones that wait hand and foot on the elites.

They did. It was called the USSR.

There have been many kingdoms and dictatorships that were just the same in practice. Only the names and faces change, autocracy stays the same.
