a serious question; trolls need not apply

I agree.

Amen. Keep it sane, bud.

Besides, ALL words are made up.

And one word does not an argument make.

And all the old dead guys who support your philosophies? But then again the prime philosophy of conservatism is hypocrisy.

EXACTLY!!! You nailed it Octavia! 'Fear of change'. Change means you may lose your place of power in society, no matter how low, so fight those who really aren't to blame and ignore those who really are squeezing your cojones. After the Civil War, the former plantation owners convinced the new underclass of sharecroppers that black people were out to take their positions, so since then we've had a healthy culture of underlying racism in certain regions prone to voting conservative, even when modern powers-that-be don't have their best interests at heart. Just look at all the flabby thought of the user above. Not a good sign for the country.

Durn liberals and their love of individual autonomy and freedom! XD

No, the prime philosophy of conservatism is "If it's working well, don't screw it up" While the primary Libtard philosophy is "How can we screw this up?"

As is obvious to the educated? And I don't know of this 'Libtard' philosopher.

Yeah, all those scriptures about conservatives and Liberals. <facepalm>
