As I see it, the principles that unite mainstream Conservatives are these: don't rock the boat, government run social programs are bad, security in all guises is good, and I like what I got. Perhaps the last one is the more telling: I like what I got and if we give anything to the poor, it will mean less for me; I worked hard for what I have and I deserve to keep it. Also, I like my religion the way it is, and I'll support my race and my country first. All that, I can understand--yes, even bigotry I can understand (not from the point of view of  inferiority of one race to another but from simple evolutionary conservative principles that say that no new trait (within a group) will see the light of day if the group procreates outside its own or is too altruistic. Evolution could not do without conservatism--at the very least, it allows new traits to propagate (increase in number throughout a population). Liberalism, on the other hand, is needed to try out new genomics. About ...

My atheistic son would jump at answering yes but that's because he hates organized religion. The way I see it, it is hypocritical for Christ-like people to condone violence on "the least of mine" (Matthew 25:40) Here's what happened: I'm listening to NYC's WOR710 radio and this defender of police brutality (to be fair, all at WOR710 suck asp. The bigger the baton, the better), Eric Ericson, is bad mouthing Liberals who are railing against yet another case of police brutality and cowardice. The police allege that Ms. Jessica Hernandez tried to run them over and this is what the lackeys at WOR710 radio latch onto. Now, I personally don't associate with ANY political ideology other than my own home brewed sense of justice and liberty. However, I side with Liberals 100% when it comes to how the police are treating the citizen--they are killing us with abandon, smug in their unions, and in the support of Conservatives like Mr. Erickson who was filling in for ...

And so did I when I was much younger. Damn, what purpose do guns serve in our Nation? Guns have five purposes that I know of. One, they help defend us from invaders. Well, we've never had many invasions--none that I can recall, actually; but, in any event, the populace doesn't need them because of our highly subsidized military. Two, the Black man in the hood needs a gun to command respect. Understandable. How else will they get respect? I'm sure this has a societal fix, I'm just not sure what it is we are willing to change.  Certainly, the majority in our country do not need guns for daily respect but see the fifth purpose. Three, the Police need guns because the violent perpetrator has easy access. Can we do anything about this? Unlikely, this is Capitalist America and where there's a buck to be made, a buck will be made regardless of whatever regulation anyone tries to implement. Fourth is the so-called sportsman. They are well-regulated and I know of no ...
