re: #323 GeneJockey

See my response above. I’ve come to the conclusion that Conservatism and Libertarianism are comprised solely of ‘Principles’ and slogans and that the people who follow either don’t want to think deeper than that, so they’ll say without the slightest irony that young people don’t need health insurance but the ones who get expensively injured or ill should have had health insurance, or that Liberals are using gay marriage to usher in Sharia law.

imho the real principles of conservatism are whatever large corporations want plus whatever it is that fundies want to use big government for to impose on other people like banning gay marriage and abortion plus thinly veiled racism

any idealistic “principles” that they are fond of citing in justification of it are to my mind no better than laughable
