Being conservative in all things, there would be plenty of property on the market that would be far more affordable than now. Taking so many homes off the market by the few raises the cost of living for the rest. Where's the conserving in this? Accumulating is not conserving. Wasting resources is also not conservative. Many even think nothing of firing off a thousand rounds of ammunition in a weekend, not caring of all the material that went into it. Such persons in defense might say "so what, I paid for them", as if that actually addresses the issue.
If conservative, do you strive to not waste food? How many really make certain to use food before spoiling? From rts.com, the average American family throws out $1,600 in produce each year. I'm guessing that would mean a $3,200 loss by liberals and $0 for conservatives or perhaps it's more balanced?
I am serious about this. No joke at all. Strange how it could be argued I'm far more conservative than many to most who claim to be such.
Think of liberal pricing of the stock market via the regressive QE policy where historical PE ratios no longer applies. This is contrary to conservatism.
Think of tattoos. You think having tattoos is a liberal or conservative quality?
How about the liberal use of both over-the-counter and prescription drugs? I know many have a good mind to use medication sparingly but the numbers of this country clearly shows how liberal-minded people are in drug use.
Think of having a low-priced, good mileage vehicle without any frills or a jacked up monster truck with tires costing over $1K. The latter sounds more liberal, doesn't it? Don't get hung up in some tainted notion of conservatism.
Think of the liberal ownership in quantity of anything versus a conservative aspect of such.
