Doesn’t it bother conservatives that by nature, they don’t embrace new ideas?

“Doesn’t it bother conservatives that by nature, they don’t embrace new ideas?”

Obviously not, given the fact that conservatism is predicated on an unwarranted fear of change, diversity, dissent.

Indeed, conservatism is fundamentally authoritarian, seeking to compel conformity and demonize that which is new or perceived to be ‘different.’

What I find most ironic in your second sentence is naiveté in a belief that all the "new", "perceived to be different" debauchery and degradation of human moral facts--known to be such since time out of mind--are somehow new to the world. All the moral inside out you allude to has cycled through countless civilizations since the beginning. Roman Saturnalia, anyone?

No, these disgusting "perceived to be different" morally relativistic scions of radical Leftism are not new. We humans have been here before in our history--enough times to know they are not good for societies that flaunt and encourage them. It's a setup for our downfall.

What normally happens next is authoritarian smackdown to rid a civilization of the pending moral collapse, followed by decades--if not centuries--of tyranny.

If no compromise can be reached, no brakes put on the cultural revolution, then . . . let the ancient wheel come around . . .I guess?

We've been here before. We still haven't heeded history's greatest pitfall.

...but...but...but socialism ill work..this time. <sarc>

The Democrats pitch the same shit every time too. When is the last time Democrats embraced a truly new idea?

Many candidates run on ideas few candidates have acknowledged in the past such as universal healthcare or making higher education free. Republicans on the other hand just say the same shit literally every election cycle. Are you really going to tell me that isn’t true?

That isn't true.

 

[Confounding]

universal healthcare or making higher education free.

Are you really going to tell me that isn’t true?

Those aren't new ideas. Both sides say the same shit over and over and continually sabotage the progress of the other side.

No it isn’t you dumb shit. Transgendered people have been using the bathroom of their choice for DECADES. It wasn’t until recently that republicans started whining about it.

Was it not the left that felt that trans people should be made to feel even more different and outcast by having their own separate bathrooms?

 

[tyroneweaver]

The Republican Party runs the same platform every election. There is never anything new. While Democrats are still consistent in every election, they still have many ideas. Shouldn’t we learn from our mistakes and embrace new ideas?

Ya and your best candidate in the next election will be Hillary
Still
LOL

Absolutely IS true.....and the irony is Republicans run on things like being "fiscally conservative". However, what do they do when they take the Presidency and Congress, pass a complete IRRESPONSIBLE tax cut bill that benefits the uber wealthy AND raises the budget deficit?!

They run on the same stuff all the time because that is what their cult members want to hear....and they count on their cult members either being too d***ed stupid to realize they just did the opposite of what they said they'd do ----or---- to just not care that much.

Politically speaking, Republicans couldn't have it much better.....you have a loyal group of dimbulbs that will vote for you simply because you have an 'R' next to your name and, out of pure stubbornness and stupidity, will refuse to hold you accountable for what you say or do.

Great for them as a party......awful for a country that requires intelligent conversation of the voting public.

Hillary definitely had her faults and ran a poor campaign.....but, she wasn't stupid enough to drive up health care costs or start a trade war increasing the cost of living.

It is nice to see that you do NOT agree with Trump's sabotage of Obamacare.

It baffles me how a few simple buzzwords gets certain people all worked up....especially when the person they call a 'leader' now espouses more authoritarian actions they claim to stand against.

You're nuts if you think that giveaway to the insurance companies was some kind of progressive solution. I support universal healthcare and more affordable education for young people. A healthy, educated and debt free population strengthens America as a whole. I'm a real leftist, not some halfwit partisan hack that thinks Obama was some kind of hero.

Many (bad) ideas...

Indeed the good ideas have been learned from the many mistakes. For example, the mistake of socialism... Why do leftists want to try a failed idea again and again?

Well the truth is that socialism isn’t necessarily the antithesis of capitalism, but obviously capitalism is still flawed unchecked. Wages are way behind on the cost of living and it’s been this way for decades.

Socialism is the ability to convince enough gullible people that if the hand their money to their leaders, they'll all be better off

Not sure why you have to label it 'progressive'?! So then you can castigate it as something?

I'll be the first to admit.....Obamacare is NOT the end all, be all for health care. It was, however, a vast improvement to what we had. Bottom line is that millions more Americans had health insurance and costs were stabilizing. I still think that universal health care is far more efficient and what we will eventually move to.....but, until that point; Obamacare improved things.

You mean like giving the President himself or the people who crashed the economy a gigantic tax cut and windfall of cash?!?!?!? The current POTUS and Republican Congress just did EXACTLY what you say.....but sure.....I am gullible?!?! Give me a friggin' break.

Yep.....never underestimate the stupidity of the American public.

I actually agree with you.....POLITICALLY speaking.....if I am a Republican, I wouldn't change a darned thing. They know their cult members are hooked and will do whatever they tell them to do. They've proven all they have to do is keep pounding on a few issues, keep playing on racial tensions, and cheat through gerrymandering and it is a winning combination. Heck, they can steal money from the middle class and give it to the rich and their minions don't care.

If you are a true PATRIOT and care about the democratic country, however, the political gobbledygook should take a back seat and real ISSUES should be what is foremost in your mind. Your post is a perfect example of how all you folks care about is politics......and also explains why you don't care that the clown that is in the White House arguing AGAINST immigration policy doesn't bother you (for example).

It now isn't a surprise why you voted for a reality TV show host as President....it's all a game to you anyway. It's pathetic.

My guess is you're not going to address the fact that the current POTUS and Republican Congress just increased the budget deficit after Obama presided over more than $1 trillion reduction to the deficit?

You talk of deficit, because the actual debt Obama took was much higher.

The actual deficit matters, not your meaningless "increases" in deficit. What a moron...

Deficit and debt are different things there genius. Deficits are yearly totals of money taken in versus money going out.......DEBT is the accumulations of those deficits over time plus the money it costs to hold that debt.

Could you explain "meaningless increases in deficit" please?!?!??!
