$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'I')s there a conservative plan besides "infuriating progressives and liberals"? That is, aside from keeping progressives and liberals from accomplishing anything and keeping them infuriated, do conservatives have a plan for the US?
If, for instance, a liberal or progressive was tired of what is going on with the liberal/progressive agenda, where would they look to find out what the conservative agenda is besides "annoy and destroy liberals"?
Hasn't their plan always been???
->Shrink the state as much as possible.
->Slash taxes.
->Slash benefits.
->As little regulation as possible.
->Private medicine.
->Individualism.
->Lots of guns, even for nutters.
->No abortion.
By slashing the state and taxes the argument is that you attract investment and jobs.
I'll go with that to a point but you have to have a balance between employer and employee rights.
The trouble is in my experience the right always hugely favour the employer.
Anyway, I'm just off to see my doctor who I don't have to pay safe in the knowledge that the chance of meeting a gun wielding nutter that has just spent his day getting wound up listening to hate speech is negligible.
It's not that we don't have them - nutters are not restricted to the US border - it's just that the society they live in makes it much more difficult for them to go out and start shooting.
Americans, you make your own choices and good for you - I'm just grateful for our socialised medicine, strict gun laws and 'incitement to violence' rules on free speech.
