It postulates that big business isn't a problem. That's obviously untrue. And classical conservatism was very reliant on states' rights - which should have been discredited circa 1865 when the federal government took up the reigns of power and whipped slavery and most of the religious-preference laws out of the country. I hear talk about reviving the Goldwater movement, but is that really what people want? Goldwater was a war hawk, and he thought that uber-capitalism was the way to go. I think it's becoming increasingly obvious through recent events of business abuse that any hierarchy is dangerous. Any. Granted, I think both Republicans and Democrats (politicians, not necessarily people, although it's coming to that point) are idiots. Liberalism - too reliant on federal government and big business.. Neo-conservatism - too reliant on big business and executive powers. Conservatism - too reliant on state governments and big business. Are Communists not doomed to fail too??? After all the examples of the them failing?  Maybe we're all idiots and we should just stop calling each other idiots and start working together to fix this sh*tehole we live in.

Care to include some example that I can actually counter? sadd432 Posted at 10:16 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 that is a mighty generalization GeneCosta Posted at 7:46 am on Dec. 26, 2008 Where's the problem in that?

They let their party get taken over by religious nutcases who practiced big liberal government. More than anything they severed any reamining ties between conservatism and the Republican party.

Democrats are idiots. some of the recent reasons they suck: - Economically, bail out big businesses who have screwed themselves up and leave the small businesses to flounder. VERY FAIR ECONOMY! - Give a senate seat to the completely UNEXPERIENCED Kennedy daughter soley based on her name. Thats typical of dems. Dont political spots to the most qualified but to the best sounding name and most popular. if democrats took full control the US would be f'ed up.   The thing about Economics...thats a republican policy...so fail. Who said democrats are all behind Kennedy...is that you're strongest argument...I'm sorry but republicans can't use the inexperience argument...YOU NOMINATED PALIN!

There are plenty of reasons why Democrats suck, you just happened to pick the two worst reasons. Jesus, where do you guys get these people? GeneCosta Posted at 3:48 pm on Dec. 24, 2008 They lost, like all conservative and reactionary movements. Smaller government for the sake of empowering bigger business fucks up the world tremendously.
