| You all need to realize that we can't keep living in the past. People, traditions and beliefs change overtime and although it may be hard we have to accept that. |

| Conservative (ironically) doesn't mean what it used to. It used to mean being resistant to change but now it doesn't. |

| Than what is it. If you do want change you're not conservative. So just let things change it may be for better or worse. But change is good. |

Have you ever heard of a progressive conservative before?
Please don't make stupid arguments without all the facts. :) |

| In the West it usually means free markets, gun rights, more religious, pro-life. |

P.s. Progressive conservative is just a political party, not an actual political belief. They are center right there is no such thing as progressive conservatism. |

Yes there are. I am one. You are obviously not progressive if you can't even progress your brain enought to understand that people have opinions that you never heard of.
I believe we need to keep some traditions, but we also need to progress. For example, I believe immigrants should keep their own culture, but should also try to adapt to Canadian culture somewhat too. |

I was not shocked to find out there are other opinions. Liberals can have opinions aswell. Also I am not uber liberal I am center left, and just because you support the party doesn't mean it's an actual political belief a term for you could be a right wing centrist conservative. In NZ there is a party called the national party and they are not nationalist. They are center right. |

| Congratulations, you compared new Zealand to Canadian politics. Your logic implies that the USA is not made up of united states. It is. That's a name that goes with its reality. So why can't progressive conservatives go with reality? You also dismissed my point on m a progressive conservative. |

>Your logic implies that the USA is not made up of united states. The fact that you think my logic implies that makes me question your intelligence. Although I am interested to know why you think it does. >You also dismissed my point on m a progressive conservative. What? Next time be more specific about exactly what I dismissed. |

Well you certainly implied tha since one party lies, that means this one must lie, and with that logic, everyone does.
Also, you disregarded the my belief on traditional values and progressive values. |

>Well you certainly implied tha since one party lies, that means this one must lie, and with that logic, everyone does. I never said that the PC party lies. I just said the fact that you're calling it an actual political belief isn't true. >Also, you disregarded the my belief on traditional values and progressive values. I didn't disregard them I had nothing to say about them. |

| It is an actual political belief. I am a progressive conservative. Also, that proves my point. You say that there is no such thing as a PC yet you have no argument against my PC views. |

Progressive conservatism;
Capitalism + advancement of human knowledge
A simple element in libertarianism
Conservative conservatism is a different story.
This can lead to extremism and knuckleheads

| guys avogadro isnt conservative anymore. he told me yesterday that his aunt (the one whos in republican party) left the party because the officials insulted her and so on. at the same time, while avogadro was passing by a grocery store he saw a poor man begging for money. his aunt told him not to give money for the poor, but he felt obligated to give money for the poor. when he gave the money, his aunt and uncle yelled at him at home later. his liberal cousin explained him how economics actually works and he became liberal. he is going to democratic party meetings around oregon and wyoming |

| That's very good. The only reason I don't give money to homeless people is that I never see them begging. The only place you see the homeless in Auckland is the CBD, and I'm hardly ever there so, yeah. |

| Conservatives aren't afraid of all change. They just are more resistant to them than others. |

Republicans/Conservatives- Support the rich and wealthy business men who don't contribute to society outside of telling people what to do.
Democrats/Liberals- Support the dirt poor who collect welfare and don't contribute to society out of small temp jobs here and there.
Either way the middle class gets screwed. |
