Living Car Free - Are you a car free Republican/Conservative?

Fluoridation. How could we forget about fluoridation.

You know when fluoridation first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

The Amish are very conservative Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Personally, I do not know any conservatives who are car-free or into the environment. I'm pretty liberal myself.

Notasfat has what I would call selective amnesia. Pick and choose details that fits his worldview, which is completely out of touch with reality.

The following video is proof positive that our government truly cares about personal liberties and democracies.

China, Iran, whoever - it seems most people who are in power - or as a collective - often abuse their power for only their benefit.

You're blind if you can't see how many more people are suffering and in terror from our actions rather than others' actions on us... and if you study any Mid East history objectively you'd see that this notion that the Moslems want to build an empire to take over the world or hate us because of our freedoms is sheer conspiracy theory. What they truly hate is our freedom to do what we want with the world with no consequence. It's this notion that global security = US security. It's our lifestyle at their cost. It's sheer hubris... and it seems every country to have risen to the top at one point subcribes to this repulsive ideology.

Nice video. I hate this "cloak and dagger" crap that our Government does in attempts to run the world. Bush is so much like Nixon - that Christian front and rhetoric, his actions are nothing short of satanic.

That's true. So many of the people who worry and fret about things, do nothing to affect any change. There are too many people waiting for the government to do something. Waiving on responsibility is the easy way, and giving the government a bunch of power is fine as long as you agree with what they're doing. Otherwise, it really sucks. The greater good lies within the freedom of the individual, though not even that is a perfect system. There will always be winners and losers, geniuses and idiots, nice people and mean people, etc. and no law will change that.

I think one of the saddest realizations of my life came when I read my church bulletin which was announcing a get-together to write letters to Congress asking for the renewal of some failed government program that had purportedly been developed to help the poor. There was a time when churches actually helped the poor, not just asked some other entity to do it for them. Even now when churches do help, it's often conditional (accept Jesus in your heart, repent, etc.), but I digress. Reliance on the government has done more to hurt charity than anything else I can think of.



I couldn't agree more

The Amish are very conservative

WHAT MORE CAN BE SAID ON THE SUBJECT?

The Amish are very conservative

- correct... and Prius™ owners are cagers...

If I feel like prodding some of the people I know who would call themselves Republican/Conservative, for the sake of a little discussion, I say that I am extremely conservative, shockingly conservative.

To me, "conservative" means sticking with time-honored principles, approaching change cautiously, not jumping into radically different ways of doing things.

If someone were to suggest, hey, let's find all of our finite supply of petroleum, burn it all up as fast as possible so that there is none left for the future, and the atmosphere is polluted on top of that, and then see what happens, I would label that person as a flaming radical. That is something that has never been tried before, could have terrible consequences, and would be irreversible. That's the very definition of radical, right out of the dictionary--"favoring extreme changes."

It seems to be a human trait to consider what one personally knows as normal, the way things should be, and the way things always will be. But this heavy car dependence has been with us for only about one human lifetime. What is really "conservative"? What is really "radical"?

very nice swwhite

green party here.

There are actually car free Republican Conservatives?
