That would be a very conservative thing, I am guessing you could find some conservatives that consider the idea of Saudi Arabia to be a conservative utopia.

Has there ever been a communist country that wasn't one in name only?


"Wise infrastructure investments"?

Which conservative countries do Republicans look to as a inspirational example?-beijing-pollution.jpg

Looks like a third-world sewer to me.

Echo...echo...echo. Amazing! Still not one person has given an example of a conservative country. Not one! Now say what you want about liberal countries but if conservatives can't find an example of their utopia then maybe it only exists in their minds and not in reality.

In more than one post you've concluded that conservative means no government or anarchy.

You want us to prove that you're completely and utterly stupid with your conclusions and you don't see a problem with that. I think you've proven the liberal stupidity is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

All I your own words...

LOLz. The amount of infrastructure being built/have been built by China is staggering.

Huh? I guess I am stupid because you make no sense to me. So what is the example of a great conservative country then oh wise one?

People who know Europeans and understand their mindset, even a little bit, at once can see that you are comparing apples and oranges. Liberals in the U.S. and Europe's conservatives are not remotely interchangeable.

Do Americans on the left or the right know enough about any other country to even answer this question?
