Top 10 flaws in the conservative agenda

10. Privacy - the abortion debate debate has led conservatives to argue that there is not right to privacy - nothing is more conservative that the right to privacy - in our homes, in our cars and in our persons.

9. Equating conservatism with the religious right. Not all conservatives wish to impose morality on others. many conservatives recognize the right individual choices and then taking responsibility for those choices. Even Barry Goldwater was attacked and ostracized for addressing this point.

8. Intelligent Design: I believe in intelligent design - God is intelligent and he designed the universe. But ID has become a means to sneak religion into public schools. This is bad because it is dishonest and it is bad because it requires attacking science and makes conservatives look backwards. If we want religion in public schools we should change the constitution to allow it personal expression of religion anywhere including school.

7. Global warming. The earth is warming - it really is. Conservatives are wasting their time arguing that global warming is a myth when 100+ years of scientific evidence and the U.S government say the climate is getting warmer. Conservatives should refocus on the cause of the warming - if it is not man-made then it may not be in our power to stop it and while the Kyoto accords may be useless the problem is still real.

6.The relationship with minorities: Lincoln, Republican, freed the slaves (at least that what people believe), and most minority communities share many conservative values but they don't vote conservative? Why? I believe it is because conservatives has lost sight of the importance of individual freedom - this is particularly important if you are a minority. Minorities and conservatives are a natural alliance if we re-focus on individual rights and freedoms - classic conservative values.

I inclination not acquiesce in on it. I regard as warm-hearted post. Particularly the title attracted me to review the unscathed story.

OMG...I am hoping and praying that you are not an educator because you are clearly diluted. Just to tackle ONE of the stupid things you said...the earth's weather patterns are cyclical...are you only paying attention to the scientists that say what you believe, and disregard the others? Typical liberal. I don't know why I wasted five minutes reading this crap because it's the same old boring mantra that every other liberal seems to chant..do you guys get monthly DNC letters or something that tell you what to bitch about???
