Maybe you should spend more time explaining what conservatism is to you, and less time attacking conservative candidates.
That would be a win-win.
All of us interested readers can learn more about you, and you’d stop sabotaging our candidates.
How about it?
Dude (or lady?), this is a conservative website. If I think a conservative candidate sucks, I’m going to say it here — where it has no chance of sabotaging the broader goals of conservatism. If I’m “sabotaging” conservative candidates here in FR, it means that a lot of conservatives are like-minded in thinking that the conservative candidate isn’t very good. If I were out in the general public or other websites commenting on how offensive I find Paladino and O’Donnell, then you might have a legitimate beef with me “sabotaging” conservatives.
But, since you asked, in a nutshell, conservatism is: a strong national defense; a government that taxes little and spends less; staying out of the free market and people’s bedrooms (I do not consider abortion to be a “people’s bedroom” issue because there’s a third person involed - the fetus, which can’t speak for itself); and leaving plenty of room for individuals to order their own personal relations as they see fit without government interference (this is why I think “marriage” should be a religious concept, not a governmental concept).
What I believe Conservatism is not, but what I am afraid American conservatism is morphing into, is a desire to enshrine Christian theology into federal or state law. I see that a lot on this site — and I hear that a lot in O’Donnell.
