This country (USA) was founded by conservatives

[Pudfark]

Folks with conservative values...
Folks with conservative religious views...
Folks with conservative opinions...
Folks with conservative morals...
Folks with conservative ethics...

Conservative folks who placed at risk...their future, their property and their lives to have a hand in a Conservative Government, established by themselves, for future conservative generations...to conserve in perpetuity.....

Old Pudfark sez: " The number of progressives buried in Arlington Cemetary is unknown "

Yah let's go back to 1776 and ignore everything since, and that is ignoring your patently ignorant final line...

Pud, I hear they invented something called a Wheel, and the Earth is not actually flat, and hey, dig this for a far out concept. The Earth revolves around the Sun!! Amazing eh ?

So what would you be proud of? Radiation tests being performed on citizens in St. George, Utah? Tuskeegee experiment?

Let's not forget it was the conservatives that freed the slaves.

Soapy....do you live in a "free country" or a "progressive" one?

Old Pudfark sez: "Born Free and will Die Free"

You calling me a Nazi ? My sig is meant to both be funny and satirical.

Let me tell you something mate, I come from Irish stock, the last thing I could ever be is a Nazi based on the fact that my people have been on the receiving end of oppression and racism for centuries. Furthermore, I personally ( and my parents/grandparents ad finitum ) have never been swayed by dictators or their ilk ( otherwise we would be a whole lot better off . )

Secondly, since my people came to the UK, we have fought in every war since 1878, without exception, and in the last big one ( WW2 ) 4 McGuires and 2 Ohanlons lost their lives between 39-45 ( just my direct line, add extended family and the list is longer ) My uncle was at the liberation of Belsen, we are not Nazis.

Lastly, you are over using the word "progressive", I assume this is due to the latest round of emails from the Republicans ( I get some too as it happens, due to having to subscribe to see some articles a while back ) and it is funny as hell watching the rightwingtards regurgitate the same crap that is emailed from the repube bunker, being posted here

Soapy....do you live in a "free country" or a "progressive" one?

I live in a "Free" country, one which became free for people like me, only after a long struggle, even now we have idiots suggesting that people like me go back to Ireland. To which I reply, no, you fuck off back to Saxony or Normandy or wherever your ancestors spunked from. As to politics, I lean to the left, you might even call me a Socialist, in that I believe in personal freedom within responsibility, and the fair distribution of resources ( based on need and merit, but also on compassion ).

Abe freeing the slaves might not have been as altruistic as you imagine, there was a lot of politics involved too. As to the radiation tests etc, wtf are you on about? Both right and left wing governments in both our countries are complicit in a multitude of sins. You don't need to be a left or a righty to be a maniac.

Also this reply needs a new post, but Conservatives way back then, actually have less in common with the current breed than you assume.

A Conservative in the Colonies back in the 1700's was more akin to a Socialist in Europe in the 60's or 70's when you look at their aims and philosophies.

Again, time moves on, meanings change, 'cept in Texas it seems You guys still wear big hats and six guns ?

And, to add to the Soapy as a Nazi theme.

I knew i was not the only one who recognized that. That is really funny but sad at the same time. Think about it, you could tell those people on the extreme right a lot of crazy stuff and many of them would simply believe it. Oh, wait, that is happening at the moment. Fear is a strong motivator for the right wingers it seems

That was a great post, Soapy.
