A True Conservative Is Fundamentally A Racist And A Bigot And UnAmerican

Conservatives are also selfish. They want the goodies for themselves but not people of color. Yet no one calls them out on it.

They are always complaining about spending. And now some of them on the tea bagging variety are after GOPPERS who are not conservative enough because they voted to end the shut down and the default.

When they suffer disaster or their areas are effected they want the money or complain there is no government to respond. Some go so far as to gate themselves off from poorer areas because they don't want to support those areas. We see such behaviors in gated communities and some newly not gated but sequestered areas where they have privatized for their own services.

It would serve us well to just deny them the services they say they don't want.

I would agree that this generally applies to Limbaugh or Tea Party Conservatives.

“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.”

Conservatives talk about cutting spending. Their true nature is revealed in what they want to cut out of government. I hardly ever hear a conservative say they want to cut military spending, huge subsidies for the rich or corporate welfare. They always seem to go after domestic programs, environmental programs, programs that benefit wage earners, or benefit people.
