Scounds,
Recognize anything about that list of Rodaks? Straight out of the mouths of Lubpbaugh, Hannity or any of the other clowns at Faux. And somebody above "claims" to be a conservative but wants me to pay for him to be able to play with his toys? Thats not very conservative. No, there are no conservatives remaining.

Premiums and deductibles are rising, for some. They are also dropping, for some. What is happening is that the costs for the healthy who never make a claim and the costs for those with pre-existing medical conditions who have been paying thru the nose for their "insurance" are converging. This is normal for insurance that actually covers everyone. The same thing happens with automobile liability insurance. Teenage drivers are actually paying about 1/3 IIRC of what they would be if they were the only insured drivers and everyone else is paying more than they would if no teens were insured. The costs are spread among all the insured to keep the costs reasonable for everyone for the good of our society has a whole. (That's the theory at least. On the other hand if you don't like team work or caring about your friends, neighbors, co-workers and everyone else you depend on for everything in your life, then its a horrible idea.)

It is you, not Rodak, who is introducing gun control (you are referencing the Newtown thread) and you are doing so in order to make a point against Rodak. It wasn't Rodak who mentioned gun control, so if you want to remind him of something he said somewhere else, shouldn't you do it openly, overtly and courteously? Otherwise it's a personal dig at him and that's against the rules of fair play.

Never mind about individuals; as a general philosophical point this is interesting. I happen to think that the USA is the most conservative of all the world's true democracies; it is your left who are an endangered species. In the UK, you yourself (Savage too) would be considered conservatives. But in the sense you mean, it is noticeable that your political boundaries have changed. I think many former natural republicans, who would once have supported Nixon-Ford (let alone Eisenhower), had they been old enough, are now "fiscally conservative Democrats". What do you think?

Corporations, meanwhile, shouldn't be eligible for much of anything. If thats "conservative" then I'm guilty (and actually proud of it). But a lot of that today is considered "liberal" and, yet again, I have no problem with that. Again, I'm proud of it. But these people we see today calling themselves "conservatives" aren't conservatives. I'd actually call them anarchists. People who are bent on destruction, not construction. The examples are so numerous that it would probably take me days to put an exhaustive list together. But the final straw was (and may be again) their effort to shut down the government and quit paying the bills. What, in any way, shape or form, is conservative about that? I've yet to hear one so called "conservative" explain that. All they do is hem and haw and then change the subject. I could go on and on. Quote:
I don't think I'd agree that former natural Republicans are now "fiscally conservative Democrats". I think most of them would, like me, now consider themselves "fiscally conservative independents". There are good and bad things about Democrats but, for the most part, they lost me after the Chicago Democratic convention. |

Don't forget what money is for. It's about what it can give you and if you avoid spending it your bank balance will rise but you aren't benefitting from it.In the end it simply means that you leave more to your descendants. |
