What day is Michaelmas on?
The stupidest thread of the day!
There is no Conservative Movement today- nothing Conservative coming from the Republican party.
The Republicans have been hijacked and bastardized by Donald Trump to become the new Planet Of The White Apes- the party of White Nationalism- The Party of Hate- the Party of the highest Deficit in US History- The Party of division- the party of Conspiracy Theories and Fake News- the party of lawlessness- the party of deception, lies, propaganda, and misinformation- the anti-democracy party- the party of corruption- the party of abandoning our allies and hopping into bed with the enemy- the party of "Ive got mine, FUCK YOU!"- the party of self-importance- the party of grabbing women by the pussy- the party of cheaters and winning at any cost- the party of confederate statues and flags- THE PARTY OF IDIOTS LED BY DONALD TRUMP.
On the flipside, the Democrats often push extreme abortion laws, like the recent NY one.
Healthcare is a service or amenity. Only on rare occasion can a service be a right. One of the few cases of this is the right to an attorney. I understand the argument that socialized medicine would benefit many people, but it's not a right. If you're going to make an argument in favor of it, economic rationales are far more logical. Treating it as a right opens the door to all kinds of faulty logic.
Start with the government then. Limiting "deadly weapons" to the state is a recipe for authoritarianism.
The freedom of religion applies to citizens. There is nothing barring immigration policy from banning a specific religion or nationality, as shown by previous policies that were in place that did this sort of thing. You'll have to cite this "shutting down" claim, however.
Well, that's news to the Log Cabin Republicans.
...an editorial from WAPO, so that's no surprise they would see it that way
That is true, and it's a good demonstration of how states can decide on their own if they want to legalize it. Not all Democrats want to legalize it, and not all Republicans want to ban it. It's become less of a partisan issue than it was in the past, particularly when looking at libertarian leaning conservatives.
Something that has gained more traction in a bipartisan manner is the decriminalization of marijuana. That would be a safer approach overall, in order to make sure that the legislative changes don't inadvertently benefit cartels.
Ignorance isn't a virtue, but neither is elitism.
There was a time when Democrats actually listened to the white working class rather than putting them down. Establishment Republicans also used to do this. Because elements of both parties continue to insult "rednecks", they understandably choose to support populists.
You seem to resent the white working class yourself.
The problem there is that Trump isn't a conservative, unless now conservative principles include ignoring deficits/debt, heightened Executive power, Judicial activism, stronger Federal Gov't, expanded use of Executive Action, and the antithesis of any understanding of Family Values
To say that the character was "counter culture" is incorrect, his role on the show was his exuberant support of traditional culture, and dismissing Reaganism as the product of a "defensive crouch" is inane
Seems as if David Marcus is plagiarizing off of the Millennial Movement that will be hitting its stride in a decade or so
