Foreign aid is not something the vast majority of Americans support, but definitely not conservatives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The belief that recipients of government aid are better off the more we spend on them is remarkably persistent. No matter how many times this central tenet of liberalism gets debunked, like Brett Favre, it just keeps coming back.
Not a lot of conservatives on this list. Are more liberals than conservatives screwing up America?
I'm a conservative, but with a focus on average people. For instance, I support Social Security and Medicare.
There are a great number of Republicans who are economically conservative but have hearts and a consciousness about their country.
Congress has shortchanged not only foreign aid but foreign policy. A mistaken notion that diplomats are unimportant and hence undeserving of support grips conservative legislators, especially.
Conservatives believe that international institutions such as the United Nations are anti-American and anti-Israeli cabals. Progressives do not like the economic medicine that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank force down the throats of developing countries.
Bush is no conservative.
In no way am I supporting or suggesting that a Conservative government is a good thing, far from it.
The reason why I'm a conservative is because conservative policies work and they improve opportunities. They are the avenue for climbing the economic dream.
There's nothing wrong with being a Conservative and coming up with a Conservative believe in foreign policy where we have a strong national defense and we don't go to war so carelessly.
