So I guess I was also banned from the conservative group. I went to view a reply and I can't access the group anymore. I get it, it's not a debate group. I was simply curious as to why these folks are conservative. I did find out several things though.
In order to be a conservative you have to hate leftists.
In order to find out your political persuasion you have to take an online test.
They aren't republicans, they are conservatives although there seems to be a lot of disagreement/confusion amongst them over this point.
They are conservatives because they aren't leftists. Couldn't find any other reason for being conservative other than that. No reasoning behind being conservative other than not liking leftists.
Don't mention political sectarianism to them. It will get you removed from the group.
Quite frankly don't disagree with them or they won't converse with you anymore.
Believe what we do and how we do or go away.
If a leftist gets into office (I'm guessing more leftists than there already are) then we will have higher taxes, no fossil fuels, won't have freedom of speech, won't have a 2nd amendment and quite frankly I don't remember the rest. Your freedoms will vanish is the overall theme there if you vote other than conservative.
And finally be pragmatic and don't vote for who you want into office but instead don't vote the way you think, vote the way the group does.
If any of you conservatives wish to reply to this message just realize I'm more than willing to entertain your BS but please don't cry foul and hide when challenged.
Guys, I kinda feel the title that douche @TheInterlooper bestowed on me is undeserved. I mean, it's an honor, for sure, if it's true, but I don't know that I deserve that much credit. I simply speak my mind when I feel the need. There are so many others that do the same and their contributions are invaluable. What say you? Am I really the "center of attention" in the Republicans-are-useless-pieces-of-shit-that-should-all-die group? I thank you for your votes and support, but will humbly hand the trophy to any of the other deserving members that were also nominees in this category if the academy deems I shouldn't have won.

I don't even know what he is going on about. & I have no interest in finding out.
Beauty contests are for shit. It takes a village.
@racocn8 I guess someone has a lot of time on their hands. Now I have a list of friends, I guess.
I would not mind having a discussion with a conservative if I could find one that didn't limit their statements to name calling.
Sometimes I hear very hateful statements coming from the left. I can understand most of them because periodically there's someone who calls themself a conservative that post a very hateful statement on a lefty post.
The term conservative has changed so much since I was a Republican. My female mentors were frugal and I considered them very conservative. That frugality meant that they used everything up until there was nothing left. They would have been horrified by the things many of us throw away everyday from food to packaging. If we all lived the way they did out on that farm, global warming would not be happening. I'm also pretty sure that they usually voted Republican.
I find a big difference between a true Conservative and a Trumper. The problem is the Republican party has turned into the latter.
@ChurchLess Exactly. Even a piece of shit like Ted Cruz who occasionally shows a modicum of rationality has to walk it back and toe the Trumpian line lest he get excommunicated. The party is Trump's. They do not live in the same reality as us. There is no possibility of reconciliation, ever.
I couldn't have said it any better. William F. Buckley is writhing in his grave.
If you really want to know what the Conservatives want read and follow Jenny Brown [twitter.com]. I heard a talk she gave on ALternative Radio It might be the most recent one by her or a rerun, but it was the best explanation of the Conservative movement I have heard in seventy years. I am Sorry that all the material is behind a paywall, but if one searches they may be able to see something on Youtube or from Alternative Radio.
To be a conservative n today's world, you must be able to be devoid of empathy, critical thought, and a sense of fair play. You have to blame everyone else, the government, people of color, any color other than white, for your lot in life; but never yourself. You must buy into any and every conspiracy theory which supports these beliefs regardless of the lack of any proof to support these theories. Constantly living in fear of these unwarranted dangers is very important. What a miserable fucking way to live.
And If I hear one more time what a communist I am
I don't know if I still am, but I was Blocked from a few of the Conservative Groups very early on in this Site's history. & I only found out when someone told me as I had no interest in visiting their Groups. Also had a number personally Block me, not for what I said to them, just for what I tend to say...
Those things may still be true, I have no idea, nor do I care. When 'Righties' visit other Groups I may Comment/disagree/challenge, but I don't personally Block & have only Blocked folks in my Groups if they have personally Blocked me. I won't let someone Post in one of my Groups if I can't see what they Post.
The animosity "Conservatives" tend to feel towards anyone they consider "Left" (seems to mean to them anyone that disagrees even slightly with any little thing they consider dogma) baffles me, to some extent & saddens me, too. They seem so threatened & butthurt, yet consider "Lefties" the snowflakes. Even the ones that claim to be atheists seem to treat their stance with almost religious conviction. Especially the adherence to particular beliefs despite evidence to the contrary.
They are all pussy snowflake bitches. Everyone with an ounce of sense comes to realize that at some point. I wish they had their own site, because they are all such piles of shit.
Also, they are indifferent to racism or are racists. They lack empathy and also indifferent to mass murders using guns. They claim to like capitalism, but never object to monopolies. Typically, they are paranoid and dishonest, routinely conflating socialism with communism. They'll claim to dislike government control, but support measures that support fascism. etc, etc...
