True conservativism vs left/right fog
I am a true conservative.
Not a tax & steal neoconservative.
Not a neoliberal, worshiping global gun point trade and calling it “free” while I snort coke and drive my new car to my slave pen. (work site)
Not a fan of fools who would sell us out to the highest bidder.
Not leftist or rightist. A belligerent american who believes that the
words on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights mean something.
I don’t trust people who wield power and make decisions behind
layers of ‘national security’ for “our own good” and lie and lie
and lie then expect us to believe them at their word; then shun the light of public investigation while they line their pockets with the
taxes they find ways of not paying.
I don’t think corporations are people to be sheltered by laws made
by self-serving rats and weasels neck deep in conflict of interests.
I’m not about to rely on the state to protect me while I hide under the bed, helpless, waiting for the authorities to come and chase away or arrest the sociopath or crook. I can protect myself and my family and if necessary, my friends and neighbors.
Police are here to aid the citizens and not abuse their authority to comit crimes and act like an occupying army for the elite.
I don’t want my taxes spent on terror or torture that will eventually come home to roost because we let it happen to someone else and expected the victims to forgive forget and then work harder to enrich the entities that brought the horror and grief to their doorstep.
I can’t stand the idea that children (the only treasure we humans truely have) go hungry or die for no reason other than the fact that they are not privileged to wealth or power.
The poor deserve to eat and sleep in warmth and security with dignity and get the opportunity to better their life and our society.
I still believe the words that say government derives its authority from the consent of its people and exists to provide for their common defense and general welfare.
I don’t think we should have kings or emperors above the laws
the rest of us are required to obey.
Call me an American.
