Don't you know that liberals in Iraq want Saddam back? [citation needed]

If you listen to NPR then you know who the liberals are. According to NPR they are very smart, good people. For example, anyone who loves Fidel is a really great person. I mean he's gone now, awaiting Judgement Day, but liberals still love him in Cuba, just like liberals in Iraq love Saddam, and are awaiting another Saddam to save Iraq from evil democracy

Not anymore, I was a moderate economic conservative with pretty strong socially liberal views. Now I see nothing left in the conservative movements of either the UK or US that I feel even the slightest shred of attraction to. Their economics have become radical, their social policies have become even more radical, and as I've never been a member of the hard right there is really nothing there for me now. Perhaps if they ever move back towards the centre I'll take another look, but for now they're dead to me.

It did amuse me greatly though that the likes of you and Ben never understood quite how different the term 'conservative' is in Europe (or was at least) to the US.

I'm glad that you stopped falsely identifying as a conservative. Are you a Muslim now, or a Communist?

Thank you for proving my point that you're a jackass.

As it turns out, changing your mind doesn't necessarily mean that you abandon an entire worldview and consider every opinion you previously held to be insane.

I really don't think he was a conservative, do you?

I'm just wondering what kind of anti-capitalism leftist he identifies as

If conservatives in the UK were what you define as 'conservative' they wouldn't have won an election in the last 70 years. Think about this for a moment, you can't be a mainstream party in the UK without expressing public support for universal healthcare, welfare and a host of other public services. You also can't without being supporting gay rights and gender equality.

Aye ... the political spectrum in the europe is rather left from that in the USA.
If we say "conservative" in europe that usually means located on the political spectrum somewhere in the vicinity of the Democrats in the USA

"Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes retaining traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization. "

YOU'RE A FEMINIST!

"Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes retaining traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization. "

Is your point that wiki says something and that means the last 50 years of European conservatism doesn't actually exist, and we all just dreamt it all?

YOU'RE A FEMINIST!

Yes I am, and extremely proud to say so. There are also a huge number of conservative feminists, what's your point?

[Kidlicious]

There's no such thing as a conservative feminist. You might as well call yourself a conservative communist.

I no for a fact that there are anti-feminists in Europe.

According to your theory, no conservative woman could hold a leadership position in a political party or business. You might want to take that up with all the woman who have held leadership positions in political parties and businesses.

Yes, we know you sleep through every learning experience. It's quite obvious displayed by your ignorance of anything out of the US.

Well you know what a conservative is now, thanks to your buddy kentonio.
