I am a conservative regarding those things. I am also a conservative with regard to seeing AMerica as a melting pot, and embracing diversity as the positive that it has always been.
Also a conservative with respect to what I see as best for America economically, which is definitely not taking us back to the guilded age.
I see things like social safety nets and universal health care as steps towards being what every decent country will obviously eventually be.
Oppression and exploitation of the poor masses is not what I worry about preserving in America.
I view Eisenhower as a great American conservative. If he could see America now, he would be bothered by an entitely differnt set of issues than you are. He was FAR to the left of Obama. (using your definition of left).
He was a great republican (but to the left of what you call rhinos).
Here's one quote:
I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.
another...
We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.

I support social safety nets and universal healthcare. However, they must be made available to people of all economic backgrounds alike.
If welfare is provided only to the poor, you create a chasm between classes. People need to know that the net will be there even if they work harder.

What you see as "oppression" and "exploitation" may actually be the real nature of human society. Equality is an illusion. Some people are always more equal than others.
The hierarchy will be here to stay.

If there was ever a woman willing to have unprotected sex with you, and you instead chose to masturbate, I don't think that act should be called murder. I would however call it stupid and pretty friggin lame.
What about STDs?
And you know what is the most expensive STD to have? Pregnancy!
If there was ever a woman willing to have unprotected sex with you,
Yeah, like a woman would ever have sex with any male on this blog!LOL

interesting.
"In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, despite dire predictions of “Wild West†showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender."
