Talk:Conservative of the Year 2011

Ron Paul? Really? Who wants us out of all foreign soils, is vastly anti-Israel, and thinks the War on Drugs is a terrible injustice for the 'poor oppressed black people' the left of America loves to constantly hide behind? I don't think he belongs on this list! If you want my vote, Tebow all the way!--EzrahJay 18:49, 30 December 2011 (EST)

It is actually possible to be conservative while not supporting Israel and the (pointless) Iraq war. --ArtWellesley 18:41, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Is it? One would think the spread of democracy and honoring our relationship with Israel were core Conservative views.--EzrahJay 18:49, 30 December 2011 (EST)

I agree with Ezrah. Just not enough conservative positions that I can support, many things I oppose. --Jpatt 18:53, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Thank you, I worry many Conservatives are duped by Paul's stance on government intervention and forget how much of a sleeper agent he is for the radical left.--EzrahJay 18:56, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Democracy hasn't actually spread to Iraq, as you can see from this week's news, and I don't see how being an American conservative means you have to support a relatively new Middle Eastern state. It's not like they do much for us in exchange for all we give them, and that $4 billion a year might just be better left in the pockets of American taxpayers. As for Ron Paul I don't support him myself; his views on drugs are just crazy, among other things. The war on drugs could be a lot better run than it is being now, but you could say the same for WW2 in 1942; that's no reason to just give it up. --ArtWellesley 18:57, 30 December 2011 (EST)
