Conservatives: Always on the wrong side of history.

Discussion in 'Politics' started by RCG Trader, Aug 16, 2012.

  1. 5) Conservatives opposed humane treatment of animals

    Since Conservatives are too stupid to know how to make a buck unless they can leave filth, pain and destruction in their wake, they consistently oppose any regulation that not only keeps our food supply free of the filth they love to spread, but treats the creatures giving their lives for human sustenance with a level of dignity and humanity.

    As a matter of fact, CONS are such insipid fascists that, rather than address and rectify the abuses at factory farms, they are currently working to make it illegal for whistleblowers to film the abuse. They have been successful in Iowa at this endeavor. After all, if a pig’s infected pustules are viciously sliced off sans painkillers, and no one is there to document the pig’s screams, did it ever really happen?

    And, as for the filthy conditions in the farms feeding the good old U-S-A – U-S-A – U-S-A that the conservatives pretend to love, who cares if a few dozen Serfs eat chicken feces and die of E. coli when a Republican campaign contributor needs more profit?!

    We all remember when John Boehner’s district in Ohio was experiencing an E. coli outbreak at the same time he was trying to gut more food industry regulations. The bottom line is, Republicans don’t care if their constituents get sick and die from the filth that Republican (and DINO) campaign contributors are feeding them. To Republicans, that means there’s one less person they have to disenfranchise out of voting.

    But if the survivors try to seek justice or recourse and TRY and sue the corporation who killed their child, their pappy, or spouse…they won’t get too far since the John Robert’s Supreme Court had something to say about it.

    6) Conservatives opposed the Social Security Act

    The Social Security Act established a system that provided old-age pensions for workers, survivors benefits for victims of work-related accidents, aid for orphans and widows, benefits for the blind and physically disabled, and unemployment insurance. Conservatives were apoplectic about this. They warned freedom-lovers everywhere that America’s next stop would be a government concentration camp.

    Never mind that “a necessitous man is not a free man,” as FDR famously quoted. Conservatives were inciting their ignorant followers to, once again, oppose their own best interests for the sake of enabling the rich to keep treating them like hosts from which to suck profit.

    As author Nancy J. Altman wrote in the LA Times,

    “opponents claimed that Social Security would result in massive government control. A Republican congressman from New York, for example, charged: “The lash of the dictator will be felt, and 25 million free American citizens will for the first time submit themselves to a fingerprint test.”

    Another New York congressman put it this way: “The bill opens the door and invites the entrance into the political field of a power so vast, so powerful as to threaten the integrity of our institutions and to pull the pillars of the temple down upon the heads of our descendants.” A Republican senator from Delaware claimed that Social Security would “end the progress of a great country and bring its people to the level of the average European.”

    As we expected, the concentration camps have yet to come to fruition, and conservatives, ironically, scramble to position themselves as defenders of Social Security – still with a mind to destroy it.

    These same arguments were retread decades later to oppose the Affordable Care Act. Being generally devoid of ideas, conservatives just keep replaying the same old tired tunes…confident their fear-based followers will continue to dance on cue.

  2. No, they want the unborn to have a right to live. Why any woman should believe it is okay to murder her unborn child is criminal. Right now, more hispanic babies are being aborted in the USA than whites/blacks. And yet, they still vote for liberals. They are killing themselves!

  3. IMHO:It's a good thing liberals fancy abortion.

    They should have them more often and furthermore I support retro-active abortion for liberals.

    Apparently so did the founding fathers as they didn't mention it in the constitution.

    Liberals oppose the humane treatment of people, they idolize savages like Che Guevara.

    The concentration camp was metaphor I'm sure, but the consevatives warnings were spot on. We are in the latter stages of conversion to the bankrupt welfare state just as Ben Franklin predicted if you let everyone vote themselves gov't money. The originally republic is dead, liberals make that clear with their notions about the constitution.

    BTW you fail to mention Marx, the intellectual father of all liberal economics. Was he on the 'right side'?

  6. The concept was correct. However, Marx greatly misunderstood the outcome of power conceding nothing without a demand. Further, he did not seem to fully anticipate that humans are simply greedy if left to their baseline nature, and that the watchers have to be watched.

  7. They didn't mention slavery either, does that mean they approve?

  8. They approved to not make it an issue otherwise the New Republic would have been doomed before it started.

    Concept is correct? well mr. communist, never mind the morality for now, but the theoretical underpinnings of all Marx wrote, which is the labor theory of value, has been thoroughly refuted and rejected.

    It is in fact not correct, you are on the wrong side of history, not to mention economic thinking.

    If it went such this time, it would be a whole different result. The conservatives have all the money. And don't make this racist and go "north/south" on me. It has nothing to do with slavery, which was the tipping point for the civil war.
