Everything and anything conservatives stand for is to put themselves in a better placethemselves. One person. That is all.
Everyone else, along with laws, the U.S. constitution, the environment, the poor, living creatures....means nothing.

I am your classic conservative, at least as defined in a dictionary of the English language (as opposed to Republicanese).
I still work for the same outfit that recruited me out of college in 1975. I have been with the same wonderful woman since 1974. We have raised two solid, intelligent children who have grown up, think independently, did well in their respective colleges, and have jobs in which they earn their own living and are well-respected in their chosen fields.
I am risk-averse, and do not like to make rash, un-thought-out decisions. I have no debts. I have no addictions, not even to alcohol, religion or nicotine. My favorite American philosopher is Thomas Jefferson.
I am the epitome of conservative. Why am I a Democrat? Simple: I do not believe that having a different skin color, belief, or income makes one a superior or an inferior being to myself.
If that is your definition of a sociopathic asshole, then we are not using the same dictionary.
Well said!
