A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
保守派
Conservatives
There are no black conservatives. Oh, there are neoconservatives with black skin, but they lack any claim to blackness other than the biological. They have forgotten their roots.
没有黑人保守派。哦,有一些新保守主义者的皮肤是黑色的,但他们除了生物学上的肤色外,没有任何黑皮肤的主张。他们忘记了自己的根。
A loyal liberal can get away with anything with other liberals, as long as that loyal liberal is liberal and attacks conservatives left and right, spouts the right words, they get away with anything.

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.
保守主义抛弃处方,逃避原则,否定进步;它拒绝一切对古代的尊重,对现在没有任何补偿,对未来也没有任何准备。
Social conservatives are very focused on strengthening the family, and I think they are right to do so. One of the worst blind spots of the Left has been its reluctance to say that marriage matters for children.

The term free market"is really a euphemism. What the far right actually means by this term is "lawless market." In a lawless market, entrepreneurs can get away with privatizing the benefits of the market (profits), while socializing its costs (like pollution).
“自由市场”一词实际上是一种委婉说法。极右派这个词的真正含义是“无法无天的市场”。在一个无法无天的市场中,企业家可以将市场的利益(利润)私有化,而将其成本(如污染)社会化。
And I am a conservative. Sometimes conservatives forget we are supposed to conserve, to save, to be efficient. Plus our dependence on other sources of energy is causing our country to not be independent and to really be vulnerable. So this is a security issue.
我是一个保守主义者。有时候,保守派忘记了我们应该节约,节约,高效。此外,我们对其他能源的依赖正使我们的国家变得不独立,变得非常脆弱。所以这是一个安全问题。
