He represents his state — not conservative pundits, to whom he owes nothing. He has the right to poke his finger in the eyes of anyone when he thinks they deserve it.
And they, of course, have every right to rail back at him. The key to unpacking this odd little fracas lies in understanding that the Republican party and the conservative movement are two different things. The conservative movement is a self-selecting assortment of people who agree in large part on key sets of issues, work to promote them and take dim views of heretics.
It is a creed, whereas the Republican Party is a broad coalition of which the conservative movement is a part, not the whole. The conservative movement is conservative in the absolute sense, about 25 degrees to the right of the center of public opinion, and largely restricted to like-minded people. The Republican party is conservative in the relative sense that it is the more conservative of the two major parties, and home to everyone in the country to the right of the center, by one degree or by one hundred.
Conservatives think those who dispute them are media sellouts. More often, they simply have differing views. Center-left refers to people, groups, or views that are just to the left of the political center in a country. Center-right refers to being a little bit to the right of center. In the US, people often use left as a shorthand for the Democratic Party and right as a shorthand for the Republican Party. But keep in mind that politics is always far more complicated than the labels we give to it—and each other.
Best not to let things get all … upside down, no? Do you know why Democrats and Republicans are donkeys and elephants? After you read this, you will! Feedback Tired of Typos? Word of the Day. Meanings Meanings. Previous Absentee Ballot vs. Next "Race" vs. What does left mean? What does right mean? Being conservative can be viewed governmentally, financially, and environmentally. Voting should be managed by the states. Republicans say that the deficits resulted from reduced taxes.
I doubt it. Environmentally, the Republicans are diminishing the EPA and allowing drilling on national park lands. Republicans do not espouse conservative values. Tommy Says, I believe you are missing the point about concervatives. Trying to break down concervatism into different aspects do not help. Most concervatives believe in personal responsibility. Unfortunately not everyone is educated to the same level and some folks just like to be lead a result of inadequate education , so there would be difference in opinions.
The EPA example, was a poor choice. EPA is a government agency that is inefficient, outdated, and grossly overvalued. EPA is doing a poor job in defining safe limits of chemicals nowadays. EPA needs to dissolved completely, they are currently wasting tax payers money.
