After banning flag-burning, I mean.
Reagan Jefferson can’t think of one, wants to answer the question anyway. Odd.
of course more tax cuts will only make America’s problems worse, as they did during the Bush regime.
Yes, sunny, let’s go back to out-of-control health care costs and unregulated wall street. That will fix everything!
wally woogie, another conservative with all rhetoric and no substance.
I haven’t heard of any solution to any Americas problems besides cut more taxes.
From your point of view it doesnt matter since you will be against it no matter what.

Apparently you still remain clueless to what conservatism is all about. Our charge is not to enact phony, pablum-laced programs that you libbies eat with a spoon, but to unleash the positive energy that freedom sparks within people to solve their own problems. It’s the fundamental difference between the philosophies…you believe government sparks progress; we believe people do.
Shocker– when you can’t defeat the rebuttal, name-call. You’re so obvious, and easy to silence.

Whether the party is Democrat or Republican it doesn’t really make a difference since both parties will always act in the interests of the international bankers and the Zionists. The international bankers are the ones who manipulate the economy by determining the value of the dollar and financing wars, and the Zionists are the ones who manipulate the mainstream media in the U.S. into believing that Israel is going to attacked by Arabs but in reality they are the ones attacking. The best solution is for everyone to opt out of the Democratic and Republican parties and just go Independent.

They want to ban abortion and destroy all welfare programs. Because you have a right to life, until you’re actually born.
They want to cut taxes for the rich, because the Bush tax cuts are doing us huge favors right now.
They want more deregulation, because the economic meltdown proved the wisdom of letting the financial industry do pretty much whatever it wants.
They want to ban gay marriage, so it’ll be funnier every time we find out how many Republican men are gay on the downlow.
They want to drill baby, drill, because they’re sure that no matter what those smarty-pants scientists say, God will provide us with more oil if we need it.
They want to impeach Obama, because he’s a Democrat and Republicans live under the impression that it’s unconstitutional for a President to be a Democrat.
They want to start a few more wars at the cost of thousands of lives and probably three or four trillion dollars.
That’s about the bulk of their agenda.

There are very few conservative ideas that are floating around and that are generally rejected by lbierals, but I can get behind a few of them.
In particular, tort reform would be useful in reducing healthcare costs (though legal costs and insurance are only a small part of overall healthcare costs).
I don’t think a freeze on civil service salaries is a bad idea either (at least for people making over a certain income threshold) – with private sector unemployment so high it is a bit unseemly for civil servants with their greater job security to not take a little bit of the austerity. In California the furlougs aren’t great, but they’re better than laying off more state workers and while I would prefer to raise taxes that’s not very politically feasible.
If there were conservatives who actually believed it, I also support a move towards greater free trade -in particular, ending agricultural subsidies and opening up US markets to goods from the poorest countries in the world (maybe not China but poor countries in the Americas and Sub-Saharan Africa and from countries like India and Indonesia). I don’t know that there are a lot of conservatives who actually believe in free trade, but I think it would be good for the rest of the world and for America in the long run.
Some "pseudo" conservative ideas like standardized tests in schools, teacher evaluations, charter schools, etc. aren’t so bad either – they’re worth some experimentation. While conservatives have little to offer on healthcare I do think they have some ideas worth thinking about in the education field, especially since there is no obvious "liberal" policy that would give us educational outcomes as good as those in many Asian and European countries. A lot of the problem with education in America is because of economic inequality and local funding, but given the reality of these things in the short to medium term some of the conservative ideas might be productive. If Ted Kennedy can get behind No Child Left Behind it’s at least worth thinking about, even if some aspects of it have been failures and there is surely a better, more egalitarian alternative.
