"Obama Is a Republican"

[Lurker66]

The American conservative movement is not defined by a set of policies but rather by a commitment to conserve America's first principles and its tradition of limited self-government. Conservatism holds that these first principles-proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence and promulgated by the United States Constitution-define us as a country and inspire us as a people. Conservatives believe that the original structure of America's carefully written constitution and its enduring framework of limited government is the best mechanism for securing national independence, providing economic opportunity, establishing religious liberty, and maintaining a flourishing society of republican self-government. Conservatives believe that the change we need, the change that is consistent with the American idea, is not movement away from but toward our principles-which are both the fixed goal and the unchanging ground of our ever-changing experience.

There are, of course, a wide variety of groups and movements within the conservative movement itself. Some are primarily focused on strengthening our national defense, others are concerned primarily with social issues, and still others are driven primarily to advance economic freedom. Although each of these groups is unique, they are all fused together into an identifiable movement-the conservative movement-by a common commitment to conserve America's first principles and political traditions.

For more on the conservative movement, see Matthew Spalding's lecture " A New American Fusionism: Recovering Principles in Our Politics. "

So by this nonsense even a left wing Liberal is a Conservative.

The libs want a centralized government nanny state that controls everything.

Conservatives want a limited government with less regulation.

Yep.

The libs want a centralized government nanny state that controls everything.

Conservatives want a limited government with less regulation.

And yep.

As for the 11% of Tea Party members that voted for Obama, about 20% of the Tea Party members are Democrats and Obama did talk like he was not going to be just another tax and spend liberal. At least he was honest about that. He spends first then taxes.

Do they want limited .gov and less regulation when it comes to women's healthcare?
Immigration?
Voting?

Or do they want more?

Please don't ask such hard questions. That only leads to more copy and paste.

Geeze, am I going to have to educate you again on the platform and the laws that are being ignored by the administration?

Your so concerned about having to produce an Id when voting? Is that your issue?

Your Ok with ICIS, Nationals from over 50 different country's coming across our borders illegally, and the government illegally allowing them to go to schools without ID, immunizations, etc?
Our healthcare facility's being overwhelmed with illegal aliens costing them millions in revenue's that could be used to buy new testing equipment to facilitate diagnosis for paying customers, AKA citizens legally here that are paying for their care?

I notice that lawmakers in WI passed a law that makes it illegal for teachers to bargain collectively.
Is that less gov or more?

So your worried that ISIS is going to come to the US, enroll in school, get immunized, sign up for welfare, and then register to vote? Presumably for Obama, although he is in his second term.

And a voter ID card would stop this? Seriously do you think a voter ID would stop illegal immigration?
