Operation: Righty Tighty
•
by Leviathann
The fractured nature of the political right in eAmerica has given the liberals free reign to do as they please, much to our, or at least my, dismay. I hope I'm not the only one that sees that something needs to be done...
Case in point, we have the Conservatives, Nationalists, Federalists, Whigs, and, arguably, the Libertarians. All with conservative ideals and serious political aspirations yet stifled by lack of cohesion.
The Left share these problems but overcome them by shear numbers that we, the right, appear not to have when in actuality we do and in fact we have many more, they are just allocated in too many different parties.
I understand that each party has differing beliefs which is great, the best way to solve problems is bringing different ideas to the table but it does no good when these ideas are locked up in different groups that remain in competition with one another.
We need to pool our resources together to defeat the left. I would like start a committee composed of citizens that are dedicated to conservative unity and ideally, members from each of eAmerica's right-wing parties, parties that would like to dedicate a portion of their effort towards dominating the left so that we may devise a comprehensive plan for the political right in this country.

conservatives are warhawking bigots who are in the pockets of big business prove me wrong
applauding....if you ain't right.. well you ain't right
tyme made a funny.
warhawking - both sides warhawk
bigots - what political party founded on antislavery principles and what party ran the confederate flag up s. carolinas statehouse and what party filibustered civil rights legislation?
pockets of big business - now that lefties are in power, look where the money goes...
i could do about a dozen links here, but why bother..
guess what jason you can't apply modern political ideology to what happened 150 years ago
the Republicans abandoned freed slaves when Reconstruction ended and FDR drastically changed what the two parties meant at the time
but no, go ahead and explain why conservatism in the 21st century is not archaic and outdated in an era where basic healthcare and decent standards of living are expected in western nations
You'll never take us Liberals alive!
WITNESS HISTORY!
You know that every party must choose its stance, and the options are limited?
The UCP went with what was closest, but our party represents a group of individuals who share common ideals - not 200 people with the exact same political beliefs.
I think that you may be reading too much into the names, and failing to notice the way parties operate.
FDR was a quack. There I said it.
and by quack you mean AWESOME
Yeah, screwing future generations was p cool imo
Iam a conservative and fighting against big business. Increasing the consumers buying power and limiting taxation are the way to go. Promoting new business development to keep up with increased demand for products and jobs as well as increase revenue for the fed. Raizeing taxes slows the economy even in this game and lowering taxes helps to create inflation so basically I see what is happening right now as setting a negative trend for our country with some short term benafits for big businesses. Smaller companies will be forced to hope they can just get by long enough to upgrade or be forced out of business. And the tax payer well, he is the real looser in this. taxes go up and wages go down while product q
quality goes up so does the price and the cost in wellness.
"guess what jason you can't apply modern political ideology to what happened 150 years ago

the civil war was 150 years ago, the other examples (of hundreds) happened not too long ago. the republicans didnt abandon blacks. blacks abandoned republicans for democrats that gave them free stuff and broken families.
"but no, go ahead and explain why conservatism in the 21st century is not archaic and outdated in an era where basic healthcare and decent standards of living are expected in western nations"
i disagree with your premise that conservatism believes that there shouldnt be basic healthcare and decent standards of living. conservatism believes that it shouldnt be paid for and given away for free. capitalism and free markets gives the highest quality of living.
agreed..
Conservatives unite. It is about time someone said it!
Are you serious? Most of the vocal people on eRepublik are hardcore conservatives. Of the top five parties only 2 are liberal and most of the non-top five parties are very conservative. I'm just not seeing all these liberals.
I would like to see the Nationalists merge with the Conservatives, the Federalists join up with the Libertarians, and the Constitutionalists continue to keep a vocal and active centrist stance (since they're not as conservative as their name sounds).
There's a lot of minor parties that really belong to the Libertarian Party too, like the Boston Tea Party and so on.
I agree with Emerick 😛
WIGS!
If we were to undo every single program that FDR put into motion, we would be better off as a RL nation.. overnight. I would LOVE to see an actual Conservative Party that stands against statism, against taxes or any kind, and stands strongly for the power of the individual in all things. Add a completely free market without tariffs or taxes and we have perfection (as close as one can come)
