I guess we should be conservative on certain issues like pedophilia. But alot of their social ideals are pretty flawed i think. There economic ideas are truly something else though. And generally, they seem to lie and manipulate things more to just get public support. Quite sad really. 

you just bying into the 2 party sytem. thats the problem. you cant blame conservatis or democrats for the us problems, you must blame both. they all lie to get their viewpoint seen, they all have sex and money scandals. its just each side sees the others wrongs and not their own. Heck look a t the plethora of sex and money scandals, and corruption scandals currently going on in the democratic party. Its best to find the actual problems and not blame a gourp or political party, that is just buying into their mess.

I know they are all lie. I know most of them are corrupt. And i'm not afraid to admit my views (which don't even fit on US political spectrum anyway) may be flawed but yeah nothing is perfect.  And yeah we are all biased but that's just from how we see things. But i would like to think it would be possible for us to all compromise on and pick what is best from each ideology and just do whatever to advance our countries rather than our own interests. That includes finding soulutions on things as you say. I feel proper education is necessary, ignorance affords hatred and tyranny. And politics should be taught in it's basic form to everyone.

Also, i would respect Conservative thought if those that claim to be conservative (many are really libertarians) if they didn't come across as so stupid and backward most of the time.
