When conservatives turn radical

Conservatism has long had two faces-one for it's ideological elites and one for it's voters.

ut this dynamic had been clear for at least a decade. From my first year of college to the weeks in which, as editor in chief, I closed my final edition of the paper, I came to a realization: Whatever conservatism told me it was intellectually — whatever ideas we discussed, whatever policy papers I read — could never compete with what conservatism was in practice. At the conferences the Collegiate Network sent me to, no one was discussing tax policy or the nature of effective governance; they were debating whether Barack Obama was a “real” American and whether Sarah Palin could unseat him in 2012, based on pure and unfettered loathing. Nothing was being conserved.

Conservative voters have known this for some time. This is why they voted last year for a president who swore not to preserve but to upend. Since Barry Goldwater’s 1964 campaign for the presidency, Republicans have worked to maintain a two-tiered party — one for the ideologues who believed in Burke and Buckley, free markets and free minds, and one for the voters, who are often moved less by a system of ideas than by id and grievance. It was always the voters, though, who really mattered. And it was the voters who won.

Which side are YOU on?
 
Progressives. But this is an important point that the word 'conservative' is a euphemism for a lot of competing and ugly groups.

1. You are threatening. That is illegal even here. Look forward to a nice visit from the men in black suits.

2. Your president is the most ardent globalist in the free world you ignorant hypocritical idiot.

He is in it for himself and doesn't care if plebs like you starve to death.

You stupid fucking shithead

Threats have to be direct and specific dipshit.

Nope, he's an economic nationalist fucktard.

they are racists for the most part



they could not win a national election without whipping up race hate
 
About that cartoon with Pelosi saying you can't know what's in the package:

It's based on a right-wing lie. (Like everything they say is). Republicans were lying so much about the ACA that Pelosi said, after it's in place, people will see that what it really does is very different than Republicans have been saying. That's it.

And I quote:

You've heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don't know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it's about diet, not diabetes. It's going to be very, very exciting. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.

All it did was create yet another social welfare program for those that were handed subsidies funded by responsible people that don't expect the government to provide them with something they're willing to provide themselves. Anyone receiving a subsidy is nothing more than an addition to the list of leeches mooching off taxpayers.
 
Conservatism is dead. There is only rightism, and fanatical fascism. There are no conservatives left in the United States. The Republican party is a fascist and white supremacist movement.
 
lol did it's bothered you's.
you should be bothered, numbnuts. You don't even know the correct usage of "it's".

Now, what does bother me is leftism. And since you're left as well as illiterate, that puts you just a half step ahead of evince, as she's also insane.

Are you taking this all in so far?
 
There is little philosophical difference between the Republican base and this Potus and Facist Islamicists

All want the same things, al Qaida wants America out, is intolerant of any religion but dogmatic strict Islam and supports torture. The Us version wants Muslims out, wants to turn inward and pull out of foreign entanglements, and supports torture of captured terrorists. The us version is also ostensibly religious and strictly textual according to their television priests. They both use lies for propaganda and prey on angry youth as a recruitment tool. Both use the internet freedom to propagate lies because it is not feasible to censor and both attack and wish to destroy the establishment. Although they are on different teams they are very clearly playing the same game. And in point of fact, as between the two there is a basis for a bargain. They want the exact same things.

I have always though eliminating the minimum wage, deregulating wall street, and tax policy minutia was never a realistic metaphor for conservatism. You could fit all the people who obsess over that CATO institute, Austrian School of economics crap into an elementary school cafeteria.

I always thought a more appropriate metaphor for movement conservatism was the Creation Science Museum, the Confederate Flag, the Border Wall, and other comparable symbols of nationalism and religious fundamentalism.

The above is a perfect example of what happens when liberals try to 'think'. They spew forth nonsensical talking points that make them feel better about themselves.

Tell us again how you treat women Cypress.
