You Pick for the Most Effective Label for Conservatives.
Some conservatives who seemingly couldn't think without labels call Democrats socialists, atheists, communists, etc., and otherwise try to paint all Democrats into an unpopular box.

If we were to be as primitive, what would we call all conservatives?

My pick: The American Taliban!

What is yours?

26. I'm glad this is an "if we were primitive" thread
because that's an almost offensive exaggeration.

That's not to say that it doesn't get flung about willy-nilly on this site, however.

11. I think it's rather the opposite
Labels and soundbites are for limiting debate, not encouraging it.

Yea, verily! This thread doth sucketh.

24. cheap, lazy pricks

It's amazing how their pundits encourage YOU to work harder if you want more, but upon closer examination, none of the prominent conservatives have ever broke a sweat to earn one damn dime in their entire lives.

Not only do they want us to work harder, but they want us to work cheaper and cheaper. My answer to them is if they "can't afford" my labor, they can't have it. Let them get off their lazy asses and do it themselves!
