Throughout my lifetime the term conservative has changed its meaning just as many times as blacks, who now call themselves African-American, who once called themselves colored in my life time. So what is a conservative? Do I fit that label anymore or what does that even mean?

Do I fit in some box or conform to any particular label? What am I? Who am I politically? Where is my political home? Do I even have a home politically? Well, let us figure this out. I am furiously pro-life and consider abortion evil and used by American women as some form of birth control. I know that the rape and incest excuse used by our women is a lie and only constitutes less than one percent of these killings.

I am pro-gay-rights including marriage and adoption. I consider all religion to be a lie and a crutch, but I believe in a creator and intelligent design. I believe in evolution, but do not extend that to human beings. DNA has already proven that even the closest creature before homosapien, could never have been related to us genetically. However, I don’t understand why people ignore that. I am pro-gun-rights and believe if more people had guns, we would have less crime. I don’t hunt, but love hunters and the great taste of all the animals they kill. I don’t believe animals have rights like human beings.

I love the environment and nature, but will never believe in global warming. I believe a fraud case should be brought against Al Gore on all the money he has made spreading that nonsense. I believe only a vain human could believe that we could affect the temperature of the Earth. I believe the temperature of the Earth is determined by solar activity, whether we are here or not. I don’t confuse pollution, clean water and clean air with global warming.

I enjoy pornographic material and think drugs should be legal, even if I don’t do them. I believe the war on drugs and on poverty is a failure and nonsense anyway. I am strong on defense, but want both of these eight-year wars to end now. I once believed in an unfettered free market, but now see the pyramid scheme that it produced.

I believe that both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were good presidents. I believe George W. Bush was a historic president and believe Obama is a distorter and a terrible president. I’m for a single payer Medicare for all that is funded by fiscal conservatism. I don’t believe Medicare for all makes us a socialist country and I don’t believe in the socialist boogieman. I don’t believe socialism is evil or a gateway drug to communism. I prefer a democratic republic, but feel money and politics have raped that form of government. I believe in small government and sticking to a strict constitutional government, which also embraces a societal safety net. I hate when people say, look at Social Security and Medicare, they are a failure because they are broke. Never of course mentioning all the politicians that spent the money and made those programs broke. If we would have taken the left wing safety net and funded it in a conservative fiscal way, these programs would be fine.

I believe The Federal Reserve is the death of us all and I believe the “Too Big Too Fail Theory” is a lie. Let them fail and I don’t care how hard it would be for us. Since when do we let the government take over so many businesses, just so we don’t have to go through a rough patch. We could have crawled out of all that a free people, instead of this Big-Brother-out-of-control thing we have now.

I love NBC News and Fox News. I hate NBC News and Fox News. I believe Rush, Glenn and Sean are hurting conservatism, but I like a lot of what they say and know they do a lot of good for conservatism. It is not either or. I can acknowledge that Glenn Beck seems unhinged, but at the same time agree with that lunatic, when he is right. I hate Michael Savage’s treatment of gays, but love his radio show and think he is the most brilliant guy on radio. I love Joe Scarborough, but hate how he is shackled by his network and has no control over the format of his own show that makes it some liberal cattle line every morning. I can’t stand Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin and all their ilk, but love their art. I think Bill Maher is brilliant, but would love to tie him to a chair and make him watch Jesus Christ Superstar over and over again.

I could never be a Democrat, but find it harder and harder to support Republicans. I yearn for more choices. I want more than a third party, I want five or six. I believe in the death penalty and think all child predators should be hung on the courthouse steps for all to see. At the same time, I think America has way too many people locked up. I think all nonviolent and drug war offenders should be freed and sent back to their community to pay for their crimes outside of prison.

I am for the Fair Tax and not a progressive income tax. I think Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are hot and would be willing to put my brain in a jar and on a shelf, just to support them. I would love to have some hot chicks in Washington running things. I understand they would probably ruin the country, but I’m willing to go along with that, because they are hot. After all, I am a dude first.

Well, as you can see, this is quite a list of conservative values. So I ask you. What am I politically? Am I a Conservative? Go ahead and e-mail me what you think I am or where I fit in the political spectrum. I’ll publish something about what you all said one day.
