Yes, I'm a Conservative, But SOME Rent Control IS Necesary

[Taz]

Pay what the apartment is worth on the open market. Anything else is socialism. Now stop crying, you’re a grown man for crissakes.

“Yes, I'm a Conservative…”

No need to start a thread to confirm the obvious.

Your fear, ignorance, stupidity, arrogance, bigotry, racism, and hate clearly identify you as a conservative.

That you’re wrong on the issues is likewise fundamentally conservative.

And that you’re inconsistent and hypercritical is indeed the epitome of conservatism.

You’re wrong about government regulation, of course; it was clearly the Framers’ original intent that private business be subject to government regulation as authorized by Commerce Clause jurisprudence.

Conservatives can’t have it both ways: one cannot support regulation simply because it benefits him personally yet oppose regulation in general.

Every time I read or hear "I'm a conservative but I support BIG GOVERNMENT"

I yawn and wonder who is dumb enough to fall for that shit....

I don't support BIG GOVERNMENT. Get a brain.

Of course you do.

Conservatives are authoritarians who use big government and more government to compel conformity and punish dissent.

More government to compel women to give birth against their will.

More government to oppose immigration.

More government hostile to transgender Americans.

More government to disadvantage gay Americans.

More government in citizens’ private lives, more government to ‘fight terrorism,’ more government to undermine citizens’ rights and protected liberties, more government to facilitate a wasteful, bloated military.

Conservatism is nothing but big government and more government.

He's not a conservative. But thanks for playing.

Oh my, what really matters to leftists.....


Don't cock choppers like Michelle/Michael Robinson/Obama qualify for all sorts of "affirmative action?"

That is more govt to protect unborn children (who liberals show no empathy for whatsoever)

Yes, more govt to PROTECT Americans from the HARMS of immigration.

Yes , more govt hostile to forces that ludicrously try to pass off transgender insanity as something normal and acceptable, and PROTECT Americans from this lunacy.

Yes, More govt to keep queers from pushing their lunacy on America,and PROTECTING America from that.

Yes more govt to fight terrorism (whose side are you on ?)

And YES, More govt to support a strong military to PROTECT America, unlike the shameful cuts of Obama and Clinton.

But these things are not BIG Govt. They are common sense govt., unlike liberals' lack of that.

Not whining about a free market on apartments you’re not.

This is not having anything "both ways". Yes, there should be limits on business regulation, but that doesn't mean doing away with ALL limits on it.

In many things, business regulation is needed and proper, and being for regulation where it is needed and proper, doesn't go against conservatism, because conservatism doesn't say that ALL regulations should cease, as many of the bonehead landlords in this forum are saying, about their properties.

Do any of them want to stop restrictions on Vioxxx ? Or Thalidomide ? How about lead paint ? Are you guys using that in your units ?

Oh no ? Who else claims that Islam is BANNED by the Constitution ? You ?

Freedom of religion should allow them to chop off each other’s hand.

Let us know when you think you have some substance to present an argument with.

1. Islam is not a religion.

2. You DODGED my question.

Someone who promotes the concept of Rent Control is not a proper conservative.

Pay what the apartment is worth on the open market. Anything else is socialism. Now stop crying, you’re a grown man for crissakes.

The landlords are the ones who are crying - about not being able to raise rents $360 a month (60% increase). Incredible. As for your rush to judgement, When YOU have to move from where you have lived for years, just because of one person's GREED, then you can talk.

Old Indian saying - "never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his mocassins."

You've lived there for years. How many years and what was the rent when you first moved in?

BULLSHIT! Nobody should be required to pay a 60% increase in rent (from $600 to $960) in order to be called a conservative. Get a brain.

I have a perfectly fine brain. I understand that the landlord owns the property and is perfectly free to charge whatever rent he chooses. If it is not acceptable to you, then move.
