Yes they are. The reason you think they're not is because, like most Republicans, you're abandoned conservatism and become a Trumpist. You've misread the columnist. He wasn't listing all core conservative principles. He was listing those Trump has abandoned, with the Republican party following right along. He's certainly abandoned free trade (tariffs), abandoned fiscal responsibility (huge deficit increases), failed to oppose the world's bad players (Putin, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping), and abandoned integrity and character (himself). And the Republicans seem fine with this. Most incredibly on that last one, white evangelical churches seem fine with this. Trump is not a conservative. He says whatever is expedient at the time. Except for the part about requiring the English language, I think most people would agree, both liberals and conservatives. Roosevelt was speaking of immigrants who become citizens. Trump is speaking, usually in denigrating fashion, about illegal and non-citizen immigrants. A mere three years ago Republicans did stand for free trade, fiscal sanity, standing up to the world's bad players, and character. You need a better approach than just ignoring the testimony of all the Trump administration witnesses who testified before the House Intelligence Committee. When it comes to disclosures of classified information, that would be Trump, wouldn't it? Would you like to play the game again? You provide an example of a congressman disclosing classified information, then I provide one of Trump. We'll see who runs out first.You're following Trump's example to a T. Whatever your side's done wrong, accuse the other side of doing it. That's pretty much what I said. He lies or tells the truth according to what's expedient. He's unprincipled. Yes, that would be expedient. Yes, I know, I've said that myself. I think your answer requires revisions.--Percy

Why is it conservative op-ed commentators who are reporting these supposed news events and not the conservative news media itself?Maybe because they're events that never actually happened or interpretations that ignore facts?--Percy

During WWII both Italy and Germany were fascist. From Nazism - Wikipedia:

quote:

---

Nazism is a form of fascism and showed that ideology's disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system,...
...
Fascism was a major influence on Nazism. The seizure of power by Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini in the March on Rome in 1922 drew admiration by Hitler, who less than a month later had begun to model himself and the Nazi Party upon Mussolini and the Fascists. Hitler presented the Nazis as a form of German fascism.

You have a vivid imagination. Faith keeps calling liberals fascist, hence the attempts to help her understand that fascism is conservatism's relative, not liberalism's. Fascism is antithetical to liberalism.No one here is calling US conservatism fascist, but Trump does have a very strong authoritarian streak.--Percy

That sounds very strange. When I enter "conservative" in to Google or Bing every returned search item is related to conservatives or conservatism.Most search engines customize search results according to the person's interests, but it's hard to see how that could cause "conservative" to return results about Democrats. I'd like to investigate your problem. Could you provide the first five or ten search results you're getting? Please also tell me which search engine you're using. Overuse of pronouns can get confusing (underuse can sound repetitive and is more typing but is a lot less confusing). The "they" in PaulK's sentence refers to social media. He's referring to the problems experienced by social media providers in dealing with right-wing provocateurs, for example Alex Jones and other white supremacists. You're making up an economic problem that doesn't exist. There is no "leftist assault on the economy." After the 2008 recession the Obama years were ones of continuous growth. The Trump administration has provided enormous economic incentives in the form of regulatory gifts and tax giveaways, but this hasn't resulted in greater growth than under Obama. Yeah, sure. And extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. That's why everyone would believe Trump if he declared he was really just defending liberty when he declared himself dictator.--Percy

I'm simply trying to define the way Liberal Fascism is seen by us conservatives. Yes the words are being used for that purpose, and to distinguish it from the fascism others would prefer to impose on it, which of course is just a way to eliminate the whole concept. So I'm trying to define it as we understand it. I don't expect liberals to get it, because they spend all their time disqualifying anything the right has to say about anything, but the definition could help if any were willing to pay attention. Just a bit of attention. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Matt 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.Jesus was anti-capitalist.

Unbelievers should not give opinions about the Bible. No, Jesus was not anticapitalist. He told ONE man who needed to hear it because of his idolatrous attachment to his wealth, to sell it all and come follow Him. The man was proud of his obedience to the Law so Jesus showed him the one area in which he lacked the perfection he seemed to be claiming he had. He does NOT tell us all to live that way. We don't all have that particular sin/idolatry to deal with.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Oh and let me also point out that the Dem candidates are not proposing to give up their own wealth, they are promising to steal it from others who for the most part earned it rightfully. That is even farther from anything Jesus taught. Jesus taught individuals how to deal with their own sins, He did not offer a government program.

so you're going to shut up about evolution, geology, modern science then?

Wow, are you actually admitting all that is really religion?

nope.

Yes, we’re getting the message. It’s all a lie to divert attention from your own fascist tendencies,

What you say about me is true of the Left of course, that's always the case. Conservatism is fundamentally for American freedoms, the Left is for forcing things on the people, stealing their money, making them use only the words they deem proper, and so on.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
