Debate a Conservative

Don't try to convert me to liberalism however; I'll tell you right now, you'll just be wasting your time.

1. Why do you not (or perhaps you do?) support fascism?
2. Do you honestly associate yourself with these retards?
3. Got an opinion on net neutrality?
4. Do you think rape victims should be allowed to have an abortion? If yes, explain how their babies' lives are worth any less than the life of regularly conceived babies. If you think their suffering outweighs the baby's life, tell explain why can you so arbitrarily draw a line as to when a life is sacred and when it is not. If your answer is no, explain how you can be such a callous person?
5. Neo-nazis, do they have freedom of speech or freedom of STFU?
6. Homosexuals, death penalty or life imprisonment?
7. Do you subscribe to intelligent design and intelligent falling movements?
8. How realistic do you think laissez faire economics are in the 21st century?

Give me $10.
Mike Huckabee supporters shouldn't be allowed outside on their own.
Health Care is an important issue.

There, that covers most of my gripes with the republican party, as well as a few things that I don't actually believe, do with it as you please.

Hippopotamus not to be offensive but some of your questions are incredibly stereotypical based and not actually conservative related. Basically, you're loading some questions based on the contemporary "conservative" which is very different from an older conservative base.

1. Fascism is a sign of a strong government. It oppresses people and controls the economy. In that sense, it is actually more similar to liberalism than conservatism.
4. That's such a loaded question lol. It applies to religious conservatives only.
5. That applies to liberals and conservatives.
6. Come on. Is that really necessary?
7. Again, really necessary?
8. Considering that the US economy has never been actually laissez-faire, you have no background to make this judgement. The 1920's wasn't laissez faire, that was corporatism. Kind of like today.

Liberalism is not associated with big government. Unless you mean modern American liberalism, but since you're talking about an "older conservative base," I assume you must also be discussing an "older liberal base," which consists of thought advocating a free and open economy, democracy, and individual rights.

Idk, I was using the shotgun strategy, hoping one of them would stick and start up some friendly debate.

21st century conservatism=19th century liberalism. Nowadays, liberalism is huge government, as opposed to the old days when liberalism meant lack of government.

social (not really death penalty though) and fiscal. Not so much foreign policy, but I do believe in the War on Terror and defending ourselves. And I'm strongly anti illiegal immigration, my parents spent years of their lives working hard for their green cards.
