Thread Name: BS: Bad Moon Rising for US Conservatives
Subject: RE: BS: Bad Moon Rising for US Conservatives
Just a reality check here, none of the "benchmark" issues really have anything to do with political conservatism, which is a view that involves the idea that government regulation, management, and intervention ought to be kept at a minimum, because they impinge on the rights of the individual to live and work as he or she chooses--

Most Americans, right, left, and center, embrace "conservative" social political and economic ideas to some degree-- The objections to the conservative political position are that it really only serves the special interests of the individuals and organizations that support it, and that it seeks to re-establish an elitist(and, by implication, racist) social and economic structure--

These ideas are, of course, a matter for debate--
