Conservatives and Normals

What Does That Even Mean?

I thought I would write a short post about the title of this website and what it means to me, and what it might mean to you. First, what this title should mean to you is up to you! Some people told me they thought that this website had something against conservatives, like conservatives weren’t normal, as if I was differentiating the two groups of people. Others told me that they thought it meant that the website was for conservatives and normal people, as if they were basically the same group of people. Well, what did you think the title of this website means? The choice is ultimately yours, but I will tell you what I had in mind…

I built a site where people can get together and discuss political and social issues, learn things about politics and social issues, and get a different perspective on these subjects, so what this website is called really doesn’t matter. I thought the title “Conservatives and Normals . Com” would at least be catchy and cause people to reflect on the title once they read it. To me, the only thing that the title of this website differentiates is politics and social or personal issues. When thinking about politics, we tend to group ourselves as “Conservatives,” liberals, independent, etc.. And when thinking about our personal preferences, personal and spiritual growth, family, friends, etc., we all think of ourselves as being “Normal.” This website is for everyone and doesn’t discriminate against all of the conservatives who aren’t normal. ;-)

I thought that instead of writing “conservatives people & liberal people” you just used your title.
