He's a provocative troll. That's his shtick. Fine, that's what he does.
Conservatism used to stand for serious thinkers and ideas. Now we have a troll as the keynote speaker at the main conservative event? Not a fan at all.

Maybe it was a regional thing?
I was in New York.
But even the first time I went to CPAC (1987?)...there was only a handful of under 30s there.

I like the guy.
No, he's not Milton Friedman, but he engages people on their level and decimates them. He serves a purpose and I welcome him to the movement.

Well for one his last name is impossible to pronounce.
I just saw him on Maher's show. He's like a young gay British twink version of Maher.
Now to be honest that wasn't his act but he strikes me as a comedian who's schtick is trolling. Well if so, no matter how offensive his material is...if he makes you laugh there has to be some truth there cause no one laughs at a lie.
I was actually impressed with Milo and will have to check out his act.
Not only that Milo is so adorable in a three snaps and a circle kinda way that he might actually be Watermarks best chance to get laid.

He has a sense of humor and is actually interesting.

I was watching one of his videos the other day. Some kid called him a white supremacist.
Milo said "I'm a white supremacist? With all of the black dick that's been in my mouth I must be the most self-loathing white supremacist ever."
lol.

If this is what conservatism has become it is far different than the conservatism of my youth. To me that is sad.
hes not really a troll. He speaks important truths, obviously with a bit of showmanship. Again, some of you old fucks (anyone older than me) need to get used to this. A paradigm shift has happened. This is the new normal. This is reality. You can't will it away. It is here.
Who would have thought ten years ago a flaming gay guy would be one of conservatives leading speakers? My dad, who routinely listens to and worships michael savage and believes obama is an actual muslim from kenya has milos book pre-ordered now. That's how fucking stupid liberals are. They've made milo ten times stronger.
We live in a new day. Now being a conservative is to be radical, rebellious. The image of stuffy old parents wearing mr. rogers sweaters with an idealistic yet dopey liberal child has been replaced by stuffy old clinton supporters who have children rocking MAGA hats.
Again some of you keep falling for the propaganda and fake news about how milo is a "hatespeecher" .. no he isn't. He isn't anymore out of line than say someone like... ann coulter or michelle malkin. Maybe a bit incendiary but by far not outside of the realm of normal opinion.

That's how stupid liberals are? Hilarious!
Pal, you've revealed how stupid your dad is.
And this is why liberals are tearing their hair out over trump. On policy, he's actually mostly moderate, and he has many ideas that are very center-road and things most people can agree on. So why freak the fuck out? Because liberals, deep down... felt the paradigm shift. Deep inside of them in a dark place tucked away where their mind fears to tread. Liberals thought they were winning the culture war. They probably thought they would never have a white male president ever again. Only strong empowered womyns who don't need no man. They thought swagger was gone for good. But nope. No more p.c. bullshit anymore. No asterisks next to comments. Swag is back. John Wayne politics are on the rise. Toxic femininity has been blown the fuck out.
my point is that because of your reeeeeeeee-fest and burning shit you've made milo's audience 10x bigger. All because you can't handle a little bit of free speech.
Ideas can't be contained or put down. You try to suppress them, they'll only arise stronger.

This is what I find hilarious about the present situation. From Burke through conservative writers such as Kirk and Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, the subject of nationalism was always denounced as an evil. I was surprised to find myself out-of-step by supporting Truman's decision to drop the bombs, which actually horrified many conservatives of the time.
depends how you define nationalism. A lot of people believe looking out for America first is nationalist. I don't believe we are genetically superior, I believe our constitution is superior. To me looking out for ones own countries interest above all others seems perfectly natural and normal. Why should I give a shit about some 3rd world shithole? I dont even care about the american poor.

I grew-up listening to talk radio, but, when listening to Savage (and reading his books), by parents and I always understood that Savage is an extreme nutcase, even though he has some good points. He was extremely entertaining to me during my teenage years. The intellectual conservatives like Medved, Hewitt, Praeger, Bennett, Bachelor, etc., have always been my preference over hacks like Hannity, shock-jocks like Limbaugh, emotionally unbalanced types like Levin and Beck, and nutcases like Savage. My only disappointment has been Laura Ingraham, who used to present herself as a New England intellectual with a dose of hackery, and is now a full-fledged Trumptard.

I go back-and-forth about how receptive I would be to Douchebag Donald's message if he wasn't such a scumbag. I know I strongly opposed Huckabee for being a populist, but I respect the man for his decency and straightforwardness. I have always been intrigued by the notion of protectionism, suspecting it would have its day due to the trade deficits with China, and admitted back in 2000 when I started following politics, that I would be mildly interested in seeing a protectionist platform in action. Trump had done nothing his entire life when he announced that met my approval, and then he continued to piss me off throughout the primaries.

Yes and look where it got us when we abandoned our sovereignty and handed it over to the EU!!
