30 Reasons Why I'm Conservative

#WhyI'mConservative is trending on Twitter.

Here are 30 reasons why I'm conservative:

1. Better memes.

why i'm conservative - the left can't meme

2. Because these days the left has all the characteristics formerly attributed to conservatives–– they're more stuffy, puritanical, intolerant, and more terrified that someone somewhere might be having some fun.

3. Because no matter how bad things are, you can always count on the government to make them worse.

4. Because:

"Capitalism is the only way, Leslie. It’s what moves our country forward. It’s what makes America great, and England okay, and France terrible." -Ron Swanson

5. Because these brilliant lights made the best thing anyone has ever made, and I would like to keep it:


6. Because:

"Facts don't care about your feelings." -Ben Shapiro

7. Because:

"You can evade reality, but you cannot evade the consequences of evading reality." -Ayn Rand


8. Because all the whining, complaining, and virtue signaling is wearing on my nerves.


9. Because leftist compassion is a pose. The animus of the left is spiteful, hateful, bitter, petty, and nasty.

10. Because the left marches in lockstep and cloisters in its echo chambers. You can predict exactly what they're going to say. Conservatives have more ideological diversity and interesting disagreements among themselves. They're more individual and genuine.

11. Because I'm not afraid of the disapproval of my liberal friends or co-workers. I'm not afraid to question the mainstream media and culture. I'm not afraid to be an individual and stand up for my beliefs.

12. Because I honor the wisdom of our brilliant and courageous ancestors who had to struggle through conditions unfathomably bleak for us to enjoy the blessings we have today. Just an ounce of their spirit will carry us through modernity's "problems."

13. Because I believe in God.

14. Because without my ancestors I am nothing.

15. Because socialism left 100 million dead in 100 years.

16. Because:

"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design." -Friedrich Hayek

17. Because conservatives have always been nicer to me than liberals.

18. Because conservatives have that twinkle in their eye, where leftists have a sneer.

19. Because I haven't lost faith in men and fathers.

20. Because I'm over the age of 30 and I have a brain.

21. Because:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

22. Because I believe individuals should take on personal responsibility, families should stay together, neighbors should look out for each other, businesses should keep their profits, and nations should keep the government out of all of this.

23. Because leftists would throw the baby out with the bath water.

24. Because I think artists, engineers, and business people are leading all the progress today, while politicians are –– at best –– just getting in the way.

25. Because I've seen too many leftists in designer clothes with name brand everything always sipping on an $8 green mermaid branded sugary coffee who want to take more money out of my paycheck to give to the poor. Reach into your own pockets if you really care.

26. Because I get the feeling liberals just want to pull the entire system down. And that's crazy because it's far from perfect, but things have never been this good.

27. Because I admire ability and hard work.

28. Because conservatism is a house built on a rock and liberalism is a house built on sand.

29. Because I want to honor my father and mother.

30. Because if I had to be stuck on an island or in the jungle in the middle of nowhere with 10 liberals or 10 conservatives, I'd pick the conservatives, and even if you're liberal, you know if it got that real, you would too.

Barack Obama Tattoos

With Barack Obama's approval ratings still at a solid 62%, I became suddenly curious to know how popular the 44th U.S. President really is. Are people so enamoured with President Obama that I could do a quick Google search and turn up some photos of people with permanent tattoos of Obama inked into their very skin? Oh yeah. It's that bad. Below are ten examples of Barack Obama tattoos (some decent, some pretty awful). PS: As a control, I decided to Google "bush tattoos." I found only two examples in the first couple pages, and they were decidedly anti-Bush. I also learned to never, ever Google "bush tattoos" again. Seriously. Don't. There are some gross tattoos out there. In the interests of full disclosure, I must admit that I am not a fan of President Obama . But I've got to say that the tattoos above aren't nearly as bad as this: Editor's note: The pictures are linked to their respective sources. To view the source pages, simply click

Legal Marijuana On The Michigan Ballot for 2018

A Michigan ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana received enough valid signatures to qualify for a vote in November. When the required number of ballot signatures was certified by the State Board of Canvassers, the 4-0 decision of the board was met by cheers from supporters of the initiative who were present, the Detroit Free Press reports . Rick Thompson, a board member of the Michigan National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), put this ballot initiative in perspective as a matter of the State of Michigan safeguarding its own sovereignty and protecting its own citizens from an intrusive federal policy: "The people of Michigan deserve this. They earned it. We've faced many trials and tribulations. We've had so many stop and go signs from the federal government. That's why states have to take the reins on the issue and really be the crucibles of democracy that they've always been intended to be." Indeed the last time

"What Can I Buy With Bitcoin?" 86 Things You Can Already Buy With Bitcoin Right Now

Bitcoin IS money. Already. It doesn't just have the potential to be. It already is money. Before you go and listen to all the critics who say Bitcoin is just a speculative investment like Beanie Babies or baseball cards, because "you can't buy anything with bitcoin..." Just review this list of all the things you can already shop with bitcoin and buy today. Then tweet this at 'em and let them know that it simply isn't debatable whether Bitcoin is a real currency or not... Because it is a matter of fact that a number of major retailers and stores are already accepting bitcoin as a payment for goods and people are already shopping with bitcoin. Sorry to burst your bubble. It's been a nice run for you since 1913, if you're part of the entrenched establishment that has kept its advantage over the rest of society by, among other things, forcing everyone to use a single, government-regulated currency that was deliberately designed to steal
