CONSERVATIVES & LIBERALS PART III

CONSERVATIVES

Characteristics common among conservatives include faith in God, honesty, self reliance, love of country and generosity. Unlike liberals, you don’t need a degree in abnormal psychology to understand conservatives. As an example, if you asked a conservative if it’s ok to kill an unborn baby they would answer no. Ask them if it’s ok to execute murderers and they would say yes. The whole conservation would take about ten seconds. Now, ask a liberal those questions and you’re in the twilight zone for an hour. They won’t come right out and tell you what they believe, that it’s ok to kill an unborn child anytime, for any reason or that three years in a bed and breakfast is sufficient punishment for murder. That would sound stupid! No, they will give you an intellectually “nuanced” response full of wild twists and turns, bent logic, situational ethics and inevitably some mention of “institutional” racism. You’ll end up with a headache and in search of the nearest tavern.

Conservatives are more difficult to categorize than liberals. While liberals tend to gravitate to certain occupations, like a herd of sheep to the easy grazing, conservatives are independent and self reliant. They can be found in all walks of life, predominately in the private sector, although not exclusively.

The overwhelming majority of those that own their own business are conservative. They understand the concept of providing quality goods and services in an efficient manner to generate profits. Liberals are confused by this. They understand profits about as well as they understand guns and they think both should be heavily regulated by the government.

Conservatives are also well represented amongst the employees of private business. They appreciate honest pay for honest work and enthusiastically support merit pay. Unlike teachers and bureaucrats, they are not afraid to be compensated based on their performance.

While the public sector employs hordes of liberal people, there are two government jobs in which conservatives thrive: law enforcement and national defense. It’s should come as no big surprise that conservatives are heavily represented in two groups that perform truly legitimate functions of government. Our police and military personnel perform heroic deeds on a daily basis. If not for a liberal judiciary and lefty politicians, these great men and women could solve some major problems in short order. They confront the very real threats facing all of us while liberals wring their hands and whine about our carbon footprint and obsess over spotted owls and caribou.

Even though conservatives do most of the real work and pay most of the bills, they are generally much happier than liberals. Faith in God and belief in the sanctity of human life are central to the conservative condition. This country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and conservatives are not ashamed of their birthright as Americans. Liberals can sing the praises of the workers paradise in Cuba or Venezuela or China.Conservatives just say “SCOREBOARD!”
