View Full Version : Republicans Vs. Conservatives

While I was surfing through the A.M. dial on my car radio, on my way home from work, I came across Michael Savage saying this:

The voices of those who call themselves conservative are propagandizing the airwaves. You can hear the Golfer defending high gas prices as a necessary part of the free market, that there shouldn't be an FDA to protect us from salmonella, that illegal aliens are just doing the jobs Americans won't do, and attacking the minimum wage as being anti-job. This is garbage. These people are globalist liberals masquerading as free marketers. They have taken the Golfer's Kool-Aid. And more importantly, while they may be Republicans, they are most definitely not conservatives. I've said time and time again on this program that I'm a conservative, not a Republican. There's a huge difference between the two.

Republicans are for AIDS money to Africa. Conservatives are for aid to working American citizens.

Republicans are for letting the free market decide that $5 a gallon gas is OK. Conservatives are for compelling foreign oil producers to increase production and reduce prices, by force if necessary.

Republicans are for bailing out billionaire money manipulators on Wall Street while you wait in line at the hospital behind an illegal alien. Conservatives are for letting Wall Street hucksters pay for their own mistakes and sending the illegal back to Mexico.

Republicans are for letting market forces decide if your food has fecal matter in it. Conservatives are for enforcing basic food safety standards so that Mexican farm workers can't crap in the fields and make you sick.

Republicans think bringing in illegal aliens is an amnesty. Conservatives think brining in illegal aliens is a travesty.

Republicans want a strong global economy. Conservatives want a country. Republicans think that child porn on the internet is freedom from government. Conservatives know that smut is a poison that must be snuffed out. America thought Bush was a conservative. He turned out to be just a Republican. And while there are Republicans who are conservatives, too, don't let the "R" after the name fool you. Let the voter – and the listener – beware.


Any Opinions? I mean, there are certain things he said that I did not think that were really associated with either Republicans or Conservatives, more like Populists and Progressives. But then maybe I am mistaken. I also know that certain conservatives do not like this guy, but others who have said they were conservatives do.

You beat me to it. His brain must be fried. Of course I've thought that for years. That's why I never listen to him anymore.

Ask any ten conservatives what a conservative is, and you'll likely get several different versions. What Savage says a conservative is, is not necessarily a viewpoint shared by other conservatives. Same goes for the definition of republican. For instance, according to what you posted, he says Republicans think bringing in illegal aliens is an amnesty. Try telling that to John McCain.

Well, I originally heard it on the radio, but I found a couple of links:

I listened to him for about three weeks and then turned him off in disgust. His rants about liberals are incredibly funny, but he treats his callers like crap. He once called a caller a "Jew-Hater" for not supporting the war. That was really confusing for me.

He has some good points and some bad points. I don't think any republican supports child porn as free speech though....thats just a bit too crazy to believe. Not a big Savage fan anyway, though I consider myself a conservative and am for some of the things he mentioned in said article.

Welcome aboard the anti-Savage bandwagon. He's an idiot, wrapped in a moron, inside an enema.

Or have I said that already?

Wel, I consider myself a conservative, not a republican. I used to be a republican. But ever since the party was hijacked by RINOs, I prefer to call myself a conservative. Period.

Michael Savage is definitely missing a screw somewhere. But he does hit the nail on the head once in a while. I know, I know. "Even a broken clock is right twice a day," etc., etc.

Yeah. Also, "children, drunks, and crazy people tell the truth" more often than not.

The Used-To-Be-Grand Old Party left the back door open and it's not what it used to be anymore.

And now, feel free to jump at my throat for saying that.

On the contrary, that pretty much sums up the Pretty Boy/Rockefeller Wing that has spilled chardonnay all over this once proud party and now wants to share the Chablis with the Lunatics that now run the Jackass Party.

The GOP reminds me a lot of the Miami Dolphins. Needing to rebuilt at almost every position. And they do not even have a Parcells to go in there clean things up.
