We have to stop calling them conservatives. They're extremists & fascists.

[Nevilledog]

Ain't nothing conservative about them.

2. It occurs to me that the radical right is way more extreme

... than the radical left ever could be.

3. Radicals, worthy of the French Revolution, the Glorious Revolution of 1688

4. I stopped calling them conservatives years ago.

I think the last Republican conservative was Teddy Roosevelt.

I just call them all Magats, they are all complicit.

5. I have been saying that for years

My standard post on the subject:

I am your classic conservative, at least as defined in a dictionary of the English language (as opposed to Republicanese).

I still work for the same outfit that recruited me out of college in 1975. I have been with the same wonderful woman since 1974. We have raised two solid, intelligent children who have grown up, think independently, did well in their respective colleges, and have jobs in which they earn their own living, have stable, long-term relationships, and are well-respected in their chosen fields.

I am risk-averse, and do not like to make rash, un-thought-out decisions. I have no debts. I have no addictions, not even to alcohol, religion, gambling, or nicotine. My favorite American philosopher is the 18th century Thomas Jefferson.

I am the epitome of “conservative.” Why am I a Democrat? Simple: I do not believe that having a different ethnic background, belief, or income makes one a superior or an inferior being to myself.
