Talk:Essay:Best New Conservative Words (view source)
Revision as of 23:38, February 27, 2010
, 23:38, February 27, 2010→How are these words conservative?: I doubt anyone objective would deny that "volunteer" and "self-defense" are conservatives. Ditto for others on your list.
:::Also, please note (this is unrelated to the rest of my post) that "wannabe" is usually spelt with only one "e", and "one-size-fits-all" is missing from the left column. --[[User:Maquissar|Maquissar]] 14:10, 27 February 2010 (EST)

::::Maquissar, you seem to agree that if conservatives use a word significantly more often than liberals do, then it's a conservative word. And you seem to agree that such words exist. Your only objection, then, seems to be specific words included in the list. You've identified 27 out of over 200.
::::Let's look at some of your examples. "Volunteer", you say, is not a conservative word. But which political side supports volunteering as a solution to problems? Conservatives. Which state has "volunteer" in its state slogan? A conservative one (Tennessee). Which political side opposed communism, the antithesis of volunteering? Conservatives.
::::Slightly above that you deny that "self-defense" is a conservative word. But which side promotes real self-defense in being able to own guns? Conservatives. Which side pushes gun control to deprive people of self-defense? Liberals.
::::I doubt anyone objective would deny that "volunteer" and "self-defense" are conservative words. Ditto for others on your list.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 18:38, 27 February 2010 (EST)
