Has the Bush administration signaled the end of conservatism?

No, fascism is something right-wing. But fascism is no more something conservative than communism is something liberal.

Hopefully the Bush administration has signaled the end of the Bush administration. Conservatism can stay and probably will.

"Conservatism" is a relative thing... it will always be around.

Even if Bush was entirely conservative and if his policies obviously failed, that wouldn't mean that conservatives would necessarily connect the dots and give up. They'd probably just say "bad data point", make up an excuse for why it didn't count and continue (or, more likely, say it failed because it "wasn't conservative enough"...witness any time conservative economic policies are put in effect, for example). Same with liberals. I think you're assuming way too direct a connection between people's beliefs and "reality". The obvious proof is that there are still state communists and Stalinists around.

Bush is a conservative, because he is an elitist pig. He doesn't care about the less fortunate. All the rest of you conservatives who talk about small govt can stick that crap somewhere else. You guys elected him from the republican party. He's your boy.

Being conservative does not mean that we don't care, it just means that we aren't going to give the sheit away.

It must be hard to have sympathy for someone but not to do anything about it, because of your own greediness.

I hope that this is just a troll, and you seriously don't think about conservatives in this excessively biased way.

And some liberals wonder why conservatives get so snappy with us in return.




I have trolled Republicans or conservatives on here, but they were not meant to be taken seriously.

It is hard, a lot harder than being walked on by whinning selfish brats who want the state to spoil them rotten and shove a silver spoon up their butt, because the feel they DESERVE it.

Liberal programs are bunk, as far as I am concerned. They do nothing to help someone better their life, instead the make it easier for those people who use the programs to maintain their poor standard of life. If I am greedy because I want people to work for themselves, look out for themselves, and support their own families so that I do not have to do it for them as I am having a hard enough time fending for myself and my family... then so be it.

I want to help, but how am I suppose to help those who won't help themselve or don't want to be helped?

Your assumption that people don't want to help themselves is a very poor cover up for your greed. This is so ridiculous that I can't even laugh. Honestly, is this the best cover up you can use. I mean of course people want to help themselves.
