What would life be like...

If being a Conservative still meant you were focused on Economic values like it used to be instead of being an American Taliban Loony?

1. I honestly have...

...no idea. Maybe the world might not be so flucked up, though.

Scratch that. The world WOULD be a much better place.

2. What ... you're criticising religion?

That's unacceptable behaviour.

3. there have always been social conservatives and the frenzy

just goes in cycles in reaction to any perceived "threats" to "traditional" society and culture. They have been whipped up into a frenzy for the past thirty years in their "defense" against the lastest manifestations of "social liberalism." This frenzy has certainly become deafening in the last ten years and is being whipped up/manipulated by opportunistic politicians and political strategists on the right to provide "populist" support for their anti-people agendas.

4. The days of Economic conservatives are gone

and I'm in my early twenties, so it's like a urban legend to me.

5. Yes, it seems they are.

My dad used to call those types Ike (Eisenhower) republicans.
