Do American conservatives think only American patriotism and sovereignty are worthy of respect?

Right wingers care more about making the private prisons more money then they do fair and reasonable sentences.

If you have evidence of that I will pay you $10,000. Would the lib dare make a legally binding bet?
 
I do not see a mass of Canadians streaming across the border to get to the supposed more free US.

Canada copied our system, but few minorities, and doesn't have the crippling libcommie wefare programs we have so they are smarter to stay home!
 
What ever happened to Democrats and Republicans?

I thought our policies emanated from these groups???

actually now more than ever conservatives are in Republican Party and liberals in Democrat Party. Its been in all the papers!
 
God bless this stupidity.

1) 4.2% GDP is stupidity to a liberal because he doesn't know what it means

2) here's a liberal who assumes God would bless what a liberal imagines is stupidity??? Embarrassing.
 
how about that Medicare and Medicaid cost Americans 3-4 times what capitalism would cost?? Why do you think USSR and Red China were so poor before before capitalism?? Now you've got the basics if you can understand them!!

Oh, how about social security steals about $1 million from each working person so they retire with dog food money rather than $1.4 million estate if they had put same money in private account! See why capitalism is superior? 1+1=2

Contact your congressperson, put together a proposal to end this carnage. Face it, the people of the world decided, to a greater or lesser extent we are in this together, that this is the way they want it. Put your money in a private account. I have some there too. Social Security is part of the safety net. That's what you use when you fall from the heights of your private account.
 
Alger Hiss Hillary Bernie all libcommies all for always bigger govt. Socialism will only stop 200 million dead, 60 million more needed!

So, pave your own roads, do your own testing of drugs, toss pennies to the poor. You do realize the world has moved on since the 19th century?
 
That's kind of an odd question, considering that conservatives are the ones who desire to maintain the national sovereignty of the US and other countries, whereas the progressive neoliberal elites, and many of their supporters desperately want to put an END to the national sovereignty of most or all countries, replaced by an unelected, authoritarian leftist/socialist centralized government!

Ironically, the progressive movement has a LOT in common with neo-cons and multinational corporate elites when it comes to globalism. For the most part, ALL of those groups are pushing the same globalist agenda! Why do you think SO MANY leftists, democrats and even neo-cons were outraged at Britain's exit from the, undemocratic,, authoritarian European Union? That body was largely run by an unaccountable, foreign, unelected, centralized, bureaucracy, whose leaders would make major decisions regarding policy in other countries, with those countries often having NO input, no choice, and no recourse for unpopular policies!

The more relevant and pressing questions that people should be asking, is why the left, the multinational corporate elites and neo-cons are so focused on weakening and eventually ending the sovereignty of the US, and most other western countries! Why do they drone on about the "importance of democracy", while supporting undemocratic, unelected govt entities, and calling for their expansion?

Maybe it's about time that leftists start to do some research, and some critical thinking about the information they so willingly accept as truth. There is SO much propaganda that you are exposed to each and every day, and it's time to stop automatically accepting it all as gospel truth. Start looking for the important details of EVERY issue that are intentionally omitted from the daily reporting, looking at the WHOLE picture, using a critical eye for detail, and stop blindly trusting people who've been deceiving you for so long..

Were Bush and Nixon leftists now? What about Reagan and Iran Contra? All this proves is the Dems are not a real left wing party, because it was left that led the anti war movements in the Iraq and Vietnam wars, right wingers were happy to support those wars.
 
correct!!! don't insanely pretend you're Sigmund Freud and know Bush's heart and Colin Powell's heart! You have to be told this because as a liberal you don't think ahead!

Why should I assume good faith on Bush's part?
 
Colin Powell and all the world's intelligence services plus Saddam himself said he wanted to appear as if he had them. Those are facts, not pretending to be Sigmund Freud who interviewed Bush dozens of times. Do you understand this very very basic stuff??

Yeah and US intel agencies never lie right? If their intel was so perfect would did they not find any WMDs?
 
Canada copied our system, but few minorities, and doesn't have the crippling libcommie wefare programs we have so they are smarter to stay home!

Actually its based on the British system, the UK was moving away from royal power to Parliamentary power for centuries, the US did not invent democracy, the Greeks did.
 
Always in Kindergarten with you! We sided with Stalin to defeat Hitler. Your libcommie hatred of American blinds you to reality over and over again!

Apples and oranges. Who is the US teaming up to defeat with the Saudi monarchy, high oil prices and Yemeni school children? How many of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi?

we don't want to defeat Saudi. They have oil and are holding back Iran. 1+1=2

dear, subject was why Canadians don't flood across border. Because Canada is like America only without the social problems. Their immigrants for example have to be millionaires while ours have to be penniless. Now do you see?
 
Why should I assume good faith on Bush's part?

In wake of 9/11 all the world's intelligence told him Saddam had WMDS so Bush attacked and world mostly backed him! That's good faith.
