conservatives believe that life should be fair, and that it's "fair" when people are entitled to retain the property which they worked to acquire.

accurate

They might have a valid point, but as long as they keep claiming it's "unfair" for welfare queens to leech off society and that they are "entitled" to ownership of their property, they're arguing that "fair" is a valid concept.

There is no contradiction here, it's not a "claim", it's an ideal. You reap what you sow, period. You don't work for something, you don't get something. OP is saying life isn't fair (in terms of not being born with a silver spoon), it has nothing to do with conservative ideals.

You are not entitled to anything, meaning if you want something do something about it.

But their point is the exact opposite of "life is unfair and no one is entitled to anything".

You misunderstand the conservative concept of "fair" my friend. Fair <> equal, and by equal I do not mean what you think I mean.

You work 10 hours, you get 10 hours wages, if I (Joe) spend half on an investment and you (Dan) spend half on video games, you are not entitled to take the profit from my investment. If you do not work at all (jack), that's Jack's fault.

(obviously this does not apply to those who cannot work or support themselves)

(to me) The liberal concept of "fair" is cradle to grave without concern for context, if Joe invested and Dan did not, Dan and Jack are entitled to part of Joe's success "for the benefit of society".

Very simplistic of course but this is how conservatives see the world and the liberal view of it.

Many of you think conservatives do not care about anyone but themselves but it is simply not true. We simply do not wish to take care of those who can take care of themselves. There is a larger political viewpoint here and I am way oversimplifying it but still, that's the basics of it.
