Has the Bush administration signaled the end of conservatism?

If I gave everything I have... If everyone gave everything they have to charity, and to helping others, it still wouldn't be enough. Thus, even with the total lack of greed (everyone giving everything) things will still not be good.

Charity is not enough. It never will be. That's a fact. Simple as that.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can. Giving your time is very important... and can make a difference in people's lives.

Maybe if you actually praticed what you preach you would find that out

You don't do what you can. You vote conservative.

I give my time and money to help others... as well as paying taxes. You don't do squat... so you being a liberal doesn't really mean anything since a conservative like me does far more to help his fellow man than you do

You seem to be the greedy one here... you give nothing of yourself and expect the government to do it all for you. While others actually do give of their time and money to help others...

@yavoon

Surprisingly right...

[Ming]

That sums it up about right

Okay, I looked at it...that gets yavoon back off my ignore list!

[Whaleboy]

Greed is irrelevant to political position? Have I said that already?

I want to devote my life to helping people and I'm a liberal. Big deal, I was the same when I was a conservative years ago. I want to help people because its a nice thing to do, and its a path to a good karma. It has nothing to do with liberalism or conservatism .

Okay, I looked at it...that gets yavoon back off my ignore list!

And came shockingly close to getting off mine!

I stated "and not something a liberal like you should do"

My comment was aimed at rabid, one dimensional, narrow minded liberals who see the world in only black and white, and make BAD gross assumptions about people based soley on political affiliations... not liberals like yourself who view people as individuals and not just as one of the masses who believe in a certain political pov.

ok

NP MrFun... just wanted you to make sure I wasn't abusing all liberals...

And yavoon gets credit for one of the best lines of the week.

I think that the Bush Administration has sufficently proved that conservatism just isn't a workable political philosophy. Have recent events sounded the death knell for conservatism?

You presume that the Bush administration is a Conservative one? I thought (when I first saw the thread) that you were indicating that Liberals had taken over the Republican party. Well, they have, but my heart still beats so at least there is a conservative somewhere.
