Don't drink and freep.
I noticed you signed up two days ago. Maybe you should read a little about “conservatism” and “socialism” before posting such a ridiculous post.
yeah, let’s forget what made us great as a country and a people and conform to some european socialist nonsense. yeah, we’ll get right on that.
Joined FR a few days ago. Sounds so blatantly leftist that I suspect this clown is a lurker from DU.
Out with you!
The first thing you should do is look up the definition of “Socialism”. You seem to think it means “helping people”.

What would be the motivation for those starting such a party? Conservative values are opposed to the very core of socialism. Populists tend to be somewhat independent by nature and somewhat charismatic enough to pull off a third party will do their own thing based on some particular issues.
Conservative Statism = Authoritarianism
Antithesis of Libertarian model
Hence, Liberty DIES
No thanks
Dude, you’re gonna give stumble down drunks a bad name.
IB4TZ, too!
2) Respect the values of working people (religious values, family values). The party would oppose homosexual marriage and abortion.
Hey! You got one right!
3) Protect human rights.
Don't know what this means. We have the Bill of Rights and that ought to be sufficient. In my experience, "human rights" tends toward the right to food, the right to a house, the right to a job, the right to a living wage, the right to HDTV, the right to a cell phone ...
4) Support democracy.
Worst system of government. Ever. Mob rule. It's not what America is about.
You should probably bing for a clue before posting on FreeRepoublic.
THis is a resentment post.. probably from being banned from HUFFnPUFF post.
ZOT, Anyone??
This premis does not make any sense. Conservative socialism? Private property, limited government, and individual liberty are core principles of conservatism. All of these are incompatable with socialism. Utilizing the power of the state to enforce your religous principles is tempting to many on the right and left but our founders knew where this inevitably leads — to the corruption of both Church and State. Remember, any government powerful enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take away everything you have.
> contending with conservative socialists (prevalent in the tropics).
You mean like DownUnder in Australia and New Zealand? Yer confused: hereabouts we’re either “Conservative” or “Socialist” but never both.
IBTZ!
Actually, all, this may not be zot worthy, just somewhat inaptly stated.
To miapelked, are you talking about packaging?
Think about it freepers. The left packages their statists as libs and conservatives. Why can’t we do the same thing? In fact, we almost have to do the same thing to compete...
