Can the Smarter Conservatives/Liberals explain what is "The Scowcroft Group?"?

Be afraid be very afraid. They are an advisory group. Brent Scowcroft has served under numerous Presidents and on numerous military commission. Seriously whatever they are doing is not good that is pretty much a guarantee.

Um yea, they have been planning the hijacking of the conservative party for decades. Time for everyone to wakeup. These people are paranoid, suicide politicans that think we are in the end times and will stop at NOTHING to force the coming of Christ as they see it.\n\nhttp://www.thefourreasons.org/

Its the guardian reading leftie idiots who are anti American.\n\nThe vast majority of normal working class people are with America all the way.

The Republican Party aka the GOP (Grand Overclass Party) are minons of the rich and powerful.\n\nThe rich don't like to give their money or influence to anyone unless of course its makes them more money. They also like to use other people's money (our tax dollars) to benifit themselves not the poor or powerless. \n\nSo the term compassionat conservative is just more bull shit those Republican assholes are trying to use to hide their selfish nature. \n\nBush and the GOP...conservatives my ass! Conserve means to protect and not waste. These sons of bitches are doing anything and everything BUT that! \n\nConservative is the biggest bull shit lable I have ever seen in my life. These minons of the rich and powerful also coined the term liberal and that's horse shit too.

The term means "New Conservatives". Their ideology differs somewhat from that of the "Old Conservatives", whose  belief system is more consistent & above board. In other words, the real neo agenda is more hidden than the old conservatives'  agenda.\n\nThe original Conservative ideology was for government to stay out of the affairs of the private sector. They acted on the belief that business & individual matters is best left left with the people & not in government. The neocon record speaks for itself. Though they pay lip service to this philosophy, The actuality is, never before in this country has the Govt been more intrusive, at the expense of small business & the public at large.\n\nOpen mindedly comparing the records of Presidents Eisenhower, Ford & Reagan with Bush, Cheney, & Robertson will show the truth of this argument.

The Liberals, The Democratic party, and the "Drive By" media are certainly going to try to make it so. It is in their best interest for this story to just "Go away!" ASAP.\n\nIt reminds me of the scene in Star Wars, where Obi-Wan uses the Jedi mind-trick on the imperial guards outside of the spaceport/Catina.....(Obi-wan) "These are not the droids you're looking for!".....(Guard) "These are not the droids We're looking for!"\n\n Had this been something uttered by a Conservative party member, we wouldn't hear the end of it........................\n\n {sarcastic mode} But there's NO media bias....or anything.... {/sarcastic mode}\n\nelectronic_dad

I honestly don't think they're very compassionate.  As far as being conservatives,  I really don't think they are all that conservative either.  They want votes, and there are a lot of liberal ideas on the table right now.  Basically, they're full of crap

Liberal means open to new ideas - conservative means closed minded. Conservatives do not give jobs to the most qualified - just look at the no-bid deals Haliburton (formerly headed by Dick Cheny) got in Iraq and now in New Orleans. I live in New Orleans and the whole Katrina-FEMA-Home Land Security mess is all about sweet heart deals going to Republican insiders who are charging U.S. tax payers over $80.00 an hour to hire illegals at about $4.00 per hour to sweep debris in the streets. Next, conservative DOES mean racist. I'm from the south, I watched the Republic party court and recruit every racist like Strom Thrumond, Jessie Helms, Trent Lott and even David Duke because they promised a safe and welcome place for their views. True, money and power do corrupt - and neither liberal nor conservative are immune from that - but conservatives just add backwardness and ignorance to the equation. Always remember that the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were LIBERAL movements. Back then, the conservatives were called Tories. Don't let the Conservative-Republican-Tories of today get away the lie that they either patriotic or pro-American - they are not. \n\nBy the way, I'm not a minority, not a woman, not gay, not an alien, not from the northeast, not disabled and not on welfare or any public assistance. I'm self employed, I pay taxes, I'm a homeowner, I vote in every election, I'm a veteran of two wars, I hold civilan degree in Political Science and am a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, I'm a southerner with multiple Confederate ancestors and I'm a Democrat.

They are the teflon party.\n\nRonald Reagan started the self-righteous Republican party that attacked any nay-sayers as non-American.  It continues to this day.\n\nRupert Murdock has created a media path by which they can continue the counter-attacks. Fox News has the ear of the non-thinking Americans (unfortunately the majority.)\n\nBe careful of your thoughts - you'll be labelled as a non-Christian who doesn't support the troops....

Sorry libs are afraid of guns and loud noises except screaming at conservative speakers at Graduation. They might throw painty on the conservatives that are wearing animal skins tho, and chain themselves to the wheels of planes! \n As for Ding Dong (well named) The British, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian Governments all believed the same things American intelligence did. Not to mention the United Nations! So I guess your from?

Those out of power tend to attribute sinister motives to those in power.  When liberals were in power, it was the conservatives coming up with conspiracy theories.  The very nature of such a theory is that it is illogical.

Ho ho ho!  great question!  \n\nThe conservatives are backwards, they cry when they drop the ball, then they cry for help when they want a pass.

You could call this party the Know-Nothings!\n\nThat's the problem with so called moderates.  They believe in absolutely nothing.  Its just like Ann Coulter says  "If you have the intelligence above that of a toaster you are either a liberal or a conservative."\n\nAnd that is the absolute truth.

Hah! That's funny...whew independent thinking. \n\nWell, that is really the meaning and idea of being a conservative. Adopting set ideas that don't change and are not open for debate. It comes natural to them.\n\nAny intellectual capacity they do have is not used for discovery and introspection but to establish an arguable defense for their staid ideas.

Can't answer that, have tried to access this site but it is filtered by my works firewall!\nHas far-right implications though.

Are conservatives smug, non-thinkers who only do what their minister tells them to do?\n\nI don't believe that, but if you're going to do nothing but hurl insults, all I have to do is toss them right back at you.\n\nThen, you and other conservatives will say - "See, liberals can only mock conservatives", while you fail to see that you began this thread with a ridiculous insult.
