President Bush because man would the Conservative agenda been front and center instead of that wishy washy “compassionate” CRAP!

Dick Cheney is not just Conservative of the Year. He’s Man of the Year.

I am sorry, but this choice is SO ‘inside the beltway’.

Cheney is a fine selection if it were up to a single individual.

However, Time mag started going beyond a single individual and we should as well in thinking about this …

The 800lb gorilla that showed up and impacted races, politics and got almost a million people in DC in Sept was the Tea Party movement. Our political landscape would be quite different, and far more barren for the GOP than it otherwise would have been without the Tea Party movement. It has kept hope for freedom alive.

JMHO.

When are we going to learn our lesson?

Cheney isn’t a conservative. Conservatives don’t get us engaged in nationbuilding exercises. Conservatives don’t go around saying we’re going to protect the country by “freeing” Iraq. Iraq has constructed a democratically elected Islamic Theocracy. Wow, a lot of good that did us. We gave them the vote, and they voted in Islamic Totalitarians. We’ve basically created another Iran. Great job.

Conservatives would do something to stand up for individual rights. The right of each of us to live our own lives the way we choose with our own minds. The right of each of us to keep what we produce with our own actions.

There are no real conservatives on the national stage at this point. Ron Paul is the closest to that ideal, but even he gets it wrong on national security with his head in the sand approach.

The tea parties were great, but they’re going to be all for nothing if we revert back to pseudo-cons like Cheney.

And if I had my choice for president, it would be Yaron Brook. Of course, he’s ineligible because he’s a legal immigrant.

I think Ron Paul is 95% right. However, he is 100% wrong on Islamic Totalitarianism when he says that “we caused it” with our previous actions.

You’re not a conservative. Neither is RuPaul of Rand Paul. Conservatives believe in a strong national security and fighting evil wherever it is. We do have some great leaders like Jim DeMint and Mike Pence, among others. You libertarians can’t get more than 2% of the vote in any election. because you have let the ant-war crowd corrupt your movement. You keep spewing that nonsense of yours (which, at this point, is pretty much laughable) and you’ll never get anywhere. Cheney (yes, a real conservative) crushes any libertarian by far.

And Time magazine, AP, and the reat of the treason media can just go jump in a lake. In America, any man who is not at least some part conservative is incapable of applying himself to the benefit of the nation as a whole.

…not warm and fuzzy in here.

About smacking Iran down, post 9/11: We were hit by al Queda, a Sunni bunch. Iran is Shiite. And, yes, Ahmadinejad is one scary sucker with his fanatical intent to “usher in the 12th Imam,” and now that we’ve thumb-twiddled away the time that should’ve been spent subverting his nuclear ambition (and supporting the revolution within), we’re probably in for one bad ride. Not likely as bad as what Israel is facing, but bad enough.

Iraq’s Baathe Party was Sunni, but beyond that, Hussein himself promoted the belief that he had formidable weaponry because that’s what he wanted Iran to believe. And, since Chirac had assured him that the US would not attack, Hussein believed the UN would keep Bush from anything worse than harsh words. His mistake, but once we took him down, it would’ve been immoral and unconsionable to just leave the Iraqis to an inevitable blood bath.

About the “conservative” thing: The word itself is fluid, its definition depending on where and when. A hard-line communist living in Moscow would’ve been a “conservative” until about the mid 1990′s; he then would’ve become a reactionary. In other words, a “conservative” is one who wants to retain what is or recapture what just passed; a reactionary wants to bring back what used to be. And, the Founders were liberals. If brought back to the here and now, of course, they would be conservatives — but in the late 18th – early 19th century New World, they were liberals.

Generaly speaking (even though ALL generalizations are worthless), Libertarians in the U.S. are fiscal conservatives and social moderate(s)-to-liberal(s).

I’d give my eyeteeth AND my bridgework, if only Cheney would run for the Presidency.

Saw Chris Matthews mocking him last night for receiving this award.
