The following post does not necessarily express the opinions of all of us here at the Étudiant.
Abortion:
Liberal: Fetus' aren't considered "human life". We like to call ourselves "Pro-Choice", but there is no such choice it is "Pro-Death"
True Conservative: In one word: Murder. Life begings at conception and under any circumstance this is illegal. Solution: Illegalize and Imprison.
Affirmative Action:
Liberal: We have to make up for racial discrimination by giving these people chances! We need to create diverse oppurtunities!
True Conservative: In a productive society, workers are hired based on abiility and if you want racism, affirmative action is exactly that (Hiring people based on their "minority" status gives them an unfair ADVANTAGE)
Death Penalty:
Liberal: Woah, what if the person sent to the death chair was actually innocent?
True Conservative: Circumstances need to be observed and taken into consideration when determining if a person shall be executed. Crimes involving 2+ persons being killed are worthy, but not definite. Human rights says that we should give the killer an oppurtunity in prison to amend their life.
Econony/Market:
Liberal: The government needs to regulate the economy in order to prevent "big companies" from taking charge.
True Conservative: The government needs to play a minimal role in regulation. A free market allows for us to make as much as we possibly can and gives a high standard of living for all.
Education Vouchers:
Liberal: No vouchers. Build upon existing public schools.
True Conservative: Because of the lack of money, many would-be private school children can't attend their school of choice. Parents should be able to choose school whichever option (no money hassle) will best benefit their child.
Environmentalism:
Liberal: The environment is a big deal and must be taken care of in order to prevent things such as global warming.
True Conservative: As far as science understands it, global warming is natural and a desire for the simplest environmentally sound resources exists, but anything outlandish is far too extreme and unnecessary.

ReplyDeletei despise you.
No. The term is pro-choice.
ReplyDeleteJust because someone doesn't support the illegalization of an act doesn't mean he or she condones the act.
Smoking is legal. It should be legal. Would I encourage anyone to smoke? No, it's bad for you. But it's none of the government's goddamn business.
I'm pro-choice, but I wouldn't encourage a person to abort their baby. It's none of my business. There are circumstances in which I believe it's in the best interest of the unborn child and the parents that the pregnancy be terminated. There are other circumstances in which abortion is no more than a way to weasel out of someone's irresponsibility. Either way, unless the fetus has developed past the first trimester, the decision is no one's to make but the parents'.
And while I'm disagreeing with you, I don't pay much mind to global warming, but you're wrong. Yes, the Earth was on one of its upswings in temperature at the beginning of the 20th century, but then the world's climate grew exponentially hotter in an unprecedented way. This, as far as science understands it, was due to human industry. All great advances in human history have been outlandish. Medicine, mechanics, exploration, war. And not all of them have been necessary. Human life would have continued without some of them. Though I do believe humans as a race will be adapt to any climate the planet has cycled through before, humanity as we know it won't. There won't be resources to sustain us at the numbers we're at now. We owe it to the future generations who will kill each other for survival to do something about global warming now.
It's funny how people vent their embarrassment when they are proved wrong with anger, and nothing more, probably in fear of looking more ignorant.
