Hahahaha, what a bunch of BS. You and your lackeys here are pathetic. First of all, you say that conservatives will rise up and reclaim liberties. That was the first hilarious point you made. Conservatives can’t give their liberty away quick enough! From the Patriot Act to FISA to “family values” legislation, conservatism’s great triumph has been to increase the power of the government at the expense of the liberty of the individual, unless of course we’re talking about taxes, where they have been slightly better than the Democrats.
Another laughable line: you’re somehow a social conservative AND a small-government conservative? Social conservatives LOVE the government because it lets them push whatever fringe form of “Christianity” that they espouse onto everybody else, picking and choosing parts of the Bible to enact into law. Social conservatives want to extend the reach of the government into your body, mind, and bedroom. Social conservatives want to appoint judges who fall over themselves to rubber stamp the actions of the government, whether it be I fail to see how anyone could hold both social conservatism and small-government conservatism simultaneously without resorting to some sort of Doublethink.
The Founders were social, fiscal, and small-government conservatives? Just because you say it doesn’t make it so. They were obviously quite liberal for their time, some of them even believed in such ridiculous notions as ending slavery or giving women some sort of rights. Even instituting representative democracy, division of powers, setting up a court system to limit the tyranny of the majority, and other such crazy ideas!
I issue this challenge to all you conservatives out there (some of whom seem reasonable, and others of whom seem borderline retarded): tell me why you blindly trust the government when it’s either 1) telling you it needs to kill people, or 2) deciding what the “moral fabric” of society should be, but your heads start exploding once the government tries to help people.
Now, as far as Obama, just a couple things. First, yes, I too find his rhetoric to be tiresome sometimes. Changeitude is not exactly a platform I am thrilled about. But, as far as the big liberty issues of our time, which are getting justices on the Supreme Court who will properly interpret the Constitution as a pro-liberty (and not pro-government power like Scalia and his ilk) document, dismantling the unitary executive, reducing domestic surveillance and other Big Brother-like policies of the current administration, and ensuring a Constitution-respecting presidency, Obama has to beat McCain on all fronts.
Oh, and as for media bias? The numbers don’t lie: a recent survey of the big networks shows that they have been far harder on Obama, with well over 70% of stories about him being negative, and only like 25% positive, whereas McCain has about 47% positive. So please, keep your media bias hype to yourself, it is an establishment media, and will reflect those biases.
