Government intervention into the affairs of others is socialist. Why is it my responsibility to pay for the education of children, especially if I have none of my own? Once upon a time education was left up to the States.)
- Tax cuts resulting in 52 consecutive months of job creation (
This is actually conservative.)
- minimized federal funding of abortion (
Why the Federal government is funding abortions to begin with is beyond me..)
- Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act (
There is nothing in the Constitution about reproductive rights. Everything that isn't in the Constituiton is left to the State or to the people themselves. If they want to make a Federal law about abortion than they need to reach down, grab some, and do it. Politicians play both sides of the issue.)
- Global HIV/AIDS funding (
Pure Progressive Socialism. Who gave that SOB the right to take my money for AIDS? Where do they get this right from? It would be one thing to do it in America but in Africa? I've got the cure for AIDS. Don't screw around and don't shoot dope.)
- instrumental in expanding NATO alliance (
Why? TJ warned us about alliances. But Progressive Republicans and Democrats don't see it that way. Who gave them the right to wage war on the Serbs?)
- Roberts & Alito and other strict constructionalist judge appointments. (
I'm not so sure about these judges records since they've been in. I do know that the court has voted that emminent domain can be used for tax purposes. IE Oakland & Texas.)
- consolidated and reformed intelligence sharing (
Why they weren't brought up for dereliction of duty I don't know. I would consider it a Conservative move to scrap a few of these agencies and have just three, Military, CIA, and FBI.)
- parts of Homeland Security (agencies under HS should've consolidated more to reduce costs not as much new spending) (
Creating more beauracracy to solve the problems of having too much beauracracy is a classic socialist attribute.)
- Bush Admin thwarted additional terrorist attempts to attack US citizens/interests. (
Even socialist don't like glowing in the dark. Kuddos to the SOB for keeping me safe after 9/11.)
- Afghanistan (should've had better long term strategy) (
Should have declared war and nuked the MFers of the face of the face of the EARTH. Decided to go the socialist route and nation build.)
- Iraq (actual war well executed, long term strategy not-so-much.) Troop surge worked though. (
Classic progressive nation building.)
- Response to early 2000s (Clinton) recession. (
Why Presidents get all the credit or flak for the economy is beyond me? Congress controls the purse strings, and Kenysian economics (socialist) goes up and down no matter who's in Congress or the White House.)
- Economic Stimulus Act (mostly tax rebates) (
Bailout out the big boys at the expense of the little guy, classic Socialism. When Corporations are allowed to do business as long as they behave and do what their told, then it is socialism. When the government becomes a business and the Corporations become part of the government, that is the epitomy of Fascism.)
- Do Not Call Act (
From a conservative point of view, this should be left up to you, the phone company, and the jerks calling you at dinner.)
The only difference between a Communist and a Fascist is that a Fascist loves his country. They're both left wing a**hole autocrates. Conservatives mind their own business. If they say they do but really do not, they're probably just Republicans.
