What exactly are conservatives conserving?

[UncleBuck]

i saw it on a bumper sticker today and thought about it for 600 miles, couldn't come up with one good thing they are trying to conserve.

They are conserving money

What do liberals liberate?

 

[NoDrama]

By banding together like penguins they conserve heat.

 

[burgertime2010]

What do liberals liberate?

women, blacks, homosexuals, disabled, hungry, unemployed, the mind, the heart, the humanity within.

Do you really think they do?

Do you really think they do?

did the conservatives manage to successfully conserve slavery?

nowadays, they're not doing that great of a job at conserving marriage inequality, even though they're trying their best.

 

[blackforest]

We are trying to conserve freedom. Freedom to not be told what to do and the freedom to keep our money and property.

 

[burgertime2010]

Do you really think they do?

rights for these groups came from somewhere. The liberal mind and heart has empathy and welcomes changes....

We are trying to conserve freedom. Freedom to not be told what to do and the freedom to keep our money and property.

the conservative track record on freedom is the exact opposite. sorry.

 

[SnapsProvolone]

Power. That's what they covet.

Mmmmmm, interesting, I am not sure if I would be considered conservative, still trying to figure out exactly what Americans consider conservative or liberal. But I am starting to see... slowly but surely so have a little patience I will get there. lol

Sounds like freedom is a euphemism for greed and selfishness.

Burger, sorry mate, but why do you say that?

"the freedom to keep our property" is probably a reference to title II of civil rights.

conservatives hate that blacks and jews have the freedom to sit at the same lunch counter now, they view it as their property being stolen from them.

just ask any of the rawn pawl fanboys.

 

[burgertime2010]

Freedom is a word behind which the conservative hides. If freedom were the concern it would be for a few at the expense of the whole. Its' a manipulation

why are you sorry?

He's a South African, just getting into American politics. He's still got some sense of decency in him. You'll have to forgive him.

he's also an admitted white supremacist, in case you missed that part.

 

[Pinworm]

Good lord. Another one? I most definitely missed that part. I read something he quoted about goat fucking in red text earlier...It's starting to make more sense.
