I am just trying to force you and a few others to THINK. I know its irritating and frustrating, but it seems like the only way to get you off of your mindset. The way you are thinking is counterproductive to fixing our mutual problems, which are very very serious. You're a drive-by conservative. A tabloid conservative. A groupie. You haven't done anything to make people see, much less respect, any degree of intelligence, insight, or philosophical aptitude. That's on you. If you "have it", like you claim to, why don't we witness it? Intelligent folks always have new ideas. Dummies repeat themselves, and the words of others. |

That's a really good read, and seems like doing the impossible. We'd have to divide this country into three territories to succeed in bringing Conservatism back to those terms. Especially on a political level. |

It's true, and Conservatives have become too complacent. We're okay picking the guy that can win, vs. the guy that can represent, lead, set the example etc. The Republican party can weather any political storm... Conservatism cannot. It's an ideology.. As a school of thought, it can be destroyed and discarded without regard for the Republican party in any way whatsoever. It has to be about more than zero accountability, war and tax cuts we haven't paid for in terms of reduced spending and a reduced federal footprint... Because people will reject that. It's not long enough in the tooth to withstand the test of time.. It will be discredited at whatever point it's associated generally with partisan, republican hijinks.. They're right about Reagan and the Conservatism of the era.. It was shaped by the cold war.. It's a different time, the challenges are different and I think they have a much more sustainable path for conservatism than, say.. endless re-runs of the Bush years.. Or even the Reagan years. But that's just me.. |

The USSR was unlike anything we ever faced.. Their collapse should have heralded in a few years of pixie dust and titties. |

I understand picking the guy that can win.. and I think will win.. But it's really about much more than or the Republicans.
We keep electing these merry-men of do nothings. |

Conservatism is a complex series of complimentary governmental, social and economic principles..
Trying to excise the Bush brand of "conservatism" from that will just lead to failure.. How many foreign wars do you want? How much can your grand kids afford to pay because you refuse? How big can the police state get? Which really sort of summarizes Bush's 8 years of "conservative" leadership. It's just not sustainable. It's almost a permanent war footing. |
