Why I Am Not a Conservative

by Joseph Fulton

Conservatives would have us believe that liberals are out to destroy our country. A popular conservative refrain is that two types of people live in the United States: Americans and liberals. That might be funny except that it's a grotesque distortion of American history. The fact is that every single significant movement advocating an expansion of American liberty has been initiated by liberals and violently opposed by conservatives.

The Abolitionist movement, led by unapologetic liberals like William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips and Frederick Douglass, was viciously opposed by conservatives in both the North and the South and many abolitionists were murdered or imprisoned.

The Reconstruction of the South following the Civil War was perhaps the boldest liberal experiment in American history, but it was crushed by southern whites who called themselves "The Conservatives" and formed terrorist clubs like the Ku Klux Klan.

The Woman's Rights Convention of 1848 and the subsequent woman's suffrage movement were spearheaded by the indomitable liberal Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Conservatives cried out from pulpits and the halls of Congress against this dangerous attack on "traditional family values." Courageous suffragists would endure 72 years of brutal harassment by conservatives before securing the right to vote.

The noble effort to reform labor laws and protect working class people was led by a diverse group of liberals from Jane Addams to Eugene Debs who were fought every step of the way by conservatives, even when it came to child labor reform!

Finally, during the Civil Rights movement of the 20th century brave liberal Americans, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., gave their lives in the fight for equal rights for black Americans. Live television coverage exposed the ugliness of the southern conservatives' opposition to Civil Rights.

Today many good people are being hoodwinked into thinking themselves conservative because of the new mantra that conservatives are more patriotic and more Christian than liberals. They are neither.

The conservative philosophy is not patriotic because it seeks to squelch political dissent and it mocks cultural diversity - the two most important aspects of both our history and our unique American democracy.

Conservatism cannot be Christian because it embraces all sorts of violence including the death penalty, unrestricted sale of firearms, destructive exploitation of our environment and preemptive military invasions against defenseless nations.

Conservatives make a big deal out of their support for the "unborn," but this is an easy position because it doesn't cost a dime. It's when people are actually born into this world that conservatives lose their compassion.

Conservatives lead the fights against tax measures and legislation to fund education and human resources, but they happily support measures to put more people in prison and build more bombs.

Conservatives have always thrived on fear; fear of change, fear of the future, and especially fear of those who are different. They react to this fear by picking on other people; newly freed slaves, women seeking equal rights, immigrant laborers seeking better pay and now gay Americans asking for the most basic of all rights - the right to love and to be loved.

Anyone who picks on those less fortunate, or different, are narrow-minded bullies and as we all learned in grade school, bullies are cowards.

So if you want to be on the wrong side of American history and the wrong side of humanity, go ahead and call yourself a conservative. As for me, I believe that America will rediscover its great liberal tradition and once again strive to become a progressive, creative nation that stands as a beacon of hope for "the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

Philosophies
- A person is entitled to what s/he earns.
- The sole purpose of Government is to protect citizens' rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
- States Rights.
- Everyone can get rich with the correct work ethic.

I'm on board, the only problem being that the REALITY differs so strongly from those statements, in particular "The sole purpose of Government is to protect citizens' rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Conservatives have become very involved in legislating morality. Examples:

Gay marraige - if the goal is to protect citizens' rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.. then banning the marraige of many of it's citizens violates the latter two.

Patriot Act - circumvents constitutional guarantees and oversight to provide limited benefits in security. Unquestionably violates that doctrine as it becomes possible to deny the liberty of people who can be held indefinitely with no specific charge or contact with the outside world.

War on Drugs - While some drugs have such a detrimental impact on society, there are others (Marijuana in particular) whose impact is very limited. Yet we throw thousands of users in Jail.. even though their impact on others life, liberty, and happiness is virtually nill. We're violating all three here.

Abortion - Despite the fact that no one has any real idea when life begins, conservatives have latched onto this issue purely based on their personal religious beliefs. Roe V Wade spells out that since we can't know when life begins, and there are hundreds of definite ideas about it, that the best we can do is come up with a best guess.. a compromise thereby constitutionally allowing early pregnancy abortions. Later rulings extended that (probably incorrectly) a bit.. but the basic premise is just. Yet conservatives want to violate their own doctrine since faith dictates that they know the answer, and clearly everyone else viewpoint is wrong.

Alcohol bans - In many conservative states it's impossible to buy alchol in entire counties. Having been involved in this battle, the justification is generally religious, which is especially transparent when sales are forbidden on Sunday in some states. Not being able to buy beer for a Broncos game definitely impacts my happiness.

Teen Curfews - While being both ineffective and expensive to enforce, this is a popular conservative position (even among moderates). I ran a fairly profitable business as a 17 year old (on the front edge of the dot-com boom), but I couldn't stay at a clients shop past 10:00 because I risked a ticket while driving home.


There are lots of other examples. I do feel it's important to digress and make it clear what I'm NOT saying: I am NOT saying that Liberals are better on these issues... teen curfews, in particular, seem to be popular across the board. Yet I find my social conscience is consistently more in line with the democratic platform. I very much a libertarian and beleive that as much as possible, people should be as free as possible to do what makes them happy. The Republicans, while they spout this line, more often than not fail to live up to the ideal as their motivations seem to be more about religion than truly protecting the interests of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of the American people.

Why I Am Not a Conservative

by Joseph Fulton

Lots of strawmen here.

The fact is that every single significant movement advocating an expansion of American liberty has been initiated by liberals and violently opposed by conservatives.

Perhaps, but some of the laundry list of good liberals and evil conservatives that follows is a little silly - is a 19th century abolitionist really that similar to Barney Frank?

Live television coverage exposed the ugliness of the southern conservatives' opposition to Civil Rights.

Well, there was no live TV of FDR's (that famous liberal) imprisonment of Americans of Japanese descent during WWII, but I guess he was really acting as a conservative, eh?

The conservative philosophy is not patriotic because it seeks to squelch political dissent and it mocks cultural diversity

I guess those radical Leftists and "progressives" on college campuses really are in favor of free speech (except for conservatives) and diversity (again, except for conservatives). There is no shortage of liberals and those to their left who gladly embrace monoculturalism and censorship when it suits their goals.

Conservatives have always thrived on fear; fear of change, fear of the future, and especially fear of those who are different. They react to this fear by picking on other people; newly freed slaves, women seeking equal rights, immigrant laborers seeking better pay and now gay Americans asking for the most basic of all rights - the right to love and to be loved.

Anyone who picks on those less fortunate, or different, are narrow-minded bullies and as we all learned in grade school, bullies are cowards.

This is just a little over the top in the strawman department. Conservatives aren't bullies, or KKK members, and don't engage in "hate crimes". I'm sure someone out there has come up with a similar bit called "Why I am not a liberal" that is as filled with hyperbole as this bit.

LOL @ the foregoing attempt by W*GS to deny historical reality and fact in the interest of defending the GOP and the Smirking Sociopath.

W*GS is one of the OM's most vocal cheerleaders for the absolute merger of corporate interests with governement power that is being cemented by the bush junta.

[RaiderH8r]

Abolition was carried by a Republican President. No more a vocal or important figure in the eventual end of slavery. But I suppose he was a liberal on that day, just to suit your argument. But we wouldn't want to rewrite history.

[W*GS]

LOL @ the foregoing attempt by W*GS to deny historical reality and fact in the interest of defending the GOP and the Smirking Sociopath.

Thanks for playing, LABF. I knew you'd respond exactly as you have. But please go on denying reality and fact in your rhetoric flights of fancy. BTW, didja notice that most of the southerners who favored continued segregation were Democrats? Not the same kind of Democrat that at the time inhabited the Northeast, to be sure, but definitely not Republicans.

W*GS is one of the OM's most vocal cheerleaders for the absolute merger of corporate interests with governement power that is being cemented by the bush junta.

Do tell. I'm far more libertarian-leaning than you could possibly understand.

In any case, calling good guys "liberals" and bad guys "conservative" is just baloney.

It is you who is in denial.

You defend and side with BushCo on virtually every issue and in every debate on this forum--no matter who is doing the arguing.

Your positions on any given issue are indistinguishable from those of the neocons and extreme right-wing repubs.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

[RaiderH8r]

So I guess that is a no on the puppy kicking party that some of us will be holding.

TailgateNut+1: Not attending. Thanks.

[W*GS]

You defend and side with BushCo on virtually every issue and in every debate on this forum--no matter who is doing the arguing.

Sigh. Despite your apparent fondness for this discredited idea, I am not the anti-LABF, at least politically. I am quite different from you in other areas, certainly - I try very hard to be truthful, direct, and honest; I depend on facts (all of them) to support my views, and I actually research my opinions and change them when the facts point to a better position.

You're just simplistically ideological. You're far more like Rush (or Bush) than I am.

Your positions on any given issue are indistinguishable from those of the neocons and extreme right-wing repubs.

Sigh. What's my position on gay marriage? Drug legalization? Free trade? Abortion? Religion? Please, do tell.

You call yourself a "Libertarian" but your positions on the most important issues are virtually indistinguishable from those of the most extreme right-wing republicans and neocons on this forum.

In virtually every debate between Dems and repugs, you side with the repugs.

You consistently defend bush and the GOP against all critics with the same fervor as any hardcore supporter while attacking liberals, Clinton, Kerry, the Democratic Party, etc., in a manner that would make Rush proud.

You're nothing but an extreme right-wing republican with commitment phobia.

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

You're just simplistically ideological. You're far more like Rush (or Bush) than I am.


Says a liar who, until recently, sported a Clinton-bashing avatar with a caption that read "liberals' worst nightmare."

If you were really as independent and fair-minded as you claim then you'd use an anti-bush avatar/slogan 50% of the time.

[Rohirrim]

Things you have to believe if you vote Republican:

1. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when
Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him
and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

2. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but
trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

3. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our
highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against
Iraq.

4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but
multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind
without regulation.

5. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and
Hillary Clinton.

6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops
in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

8. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time
allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing
health care to all Americans is socialism.

10. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the
public at heart. “Do you want the government coming between you and your doctor?” Of course not. That’s the HMO’s job.

11. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science,
but creationism should be taught in schools.

12. A president lying about an extramarital affair with another adult is an impeachable
offense. A president lying the country into a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

13. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the
Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the
Internet.

14. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades,
but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

15. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless
you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness, and you need our
prayers for your recovery.

16. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John
Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the
right to adopt.

17. What Kerry and Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national
interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
