Vanity: I am no longer a conservative.
sparticus

Posted on 10/10/2017 10:28:24 AM PDT by Sparticus

From now on, I'm no longer going to call myself a conservative. I am a proud "Normal"!

Words have power and we've allowed the left to define terms of the debate for too long. By calling myself a "Normal", I'm declaring that the left, the sexual anarchists, the communists and all their ilk are "not normals". The right lost the marriage debate when we allowed the left to frame the argument in terms of "marriage equality." Time to change the debate.

Absolutely! I’ve been using “normal” myself a lot the past year. All those freaks are abnormal, no two ways about it.

I stopped calling myself a “conservative” a long time ago just like I stopped calling the Lying leftists “Liberals”.

I’m a “Freedom Fighter” which many so-called “conservatives” are not.

Conservatives ARE normals. Are they a subset, though?

I don’t call myself a patriot...

a lot of liberals call themselves “patriots” I usual ask them what is that ???

they don’t support the military or the veterans and would probably “knee” the flag but they call themselves “patriot”

The word “Conservative” has been highjacked.

When media pushes that nasty Joe Scarborough and Nicole Wallace and Ana Navarro as “conservative Republicans”, we know we aren’t.

Then, however less disgusting in language, there is Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, parading under the moniker of “Conservative Republican” but are who wholly engaged in globalism, sedition against a Republican president and have all but killed off his legislative agenda, we know we aren’t “conservatives” if these Leftist enablers are the standard.

Notice how many definitions they have stolen to turn into sick perverted meanings.

HAHA. I've been doing this for a long time now. Do you have any idea how much it pisses off the catamite community when you refer to yourself as a "normal?"

I do.

And its glorious!

What we call conservative these days was considered normal 50-60-70 years ago, here in Texas anyway

Also, if they ever try the “Are you questioning my patriotism?” gambit. Smile and say, “Yes.”

I posted this two weeks ago:


The other meme I've observed to be increasing in usage, especially when referring to hero helpers from Harvey and Irma, is "ordinary Americans."

I presume this is meant to set us apart (and beneath) the coastal media and DC elites.


You're not "normal," you're an "ordinary American."

Steve Bannon wants to create the "League of Extraordinary Candidates." Let's mobilize the "Electorate of Ordinary Americans" to help them take back Washington!

"Normal" versus "Abby Normal".

Good Strategy. Also true.

I’d call myself a patriot. I couldn’t care less what the Delusional Lying Leftists call themselves.

If you love America, limited government, her freedoms, and the Constitution that protects our freedoms, you’re a patriot.

The Delusional Lying Leftists are traitors.

And BTW, Delusional Lying Leftists are NOT “liberals” (”liberal” means “lover of liberty” - the OPPOSITE of what these pro-totalitarian-government tyrants are). We are truly living in Orwellian days.

Exactly. I’ve been saying this for a long time. There’s normal and abnormal. What people have been calling conservative, is really just normal.

Irrelevant. No matter the title, they will smear the term constantly until it is just as negative as the terms that describe the Left (but their poor reputations are earned by their actions, not by a smear campaign).

"Conservative" still means something - it's "Republican" that has changed...

I'd like to call myself "Normal" but my wife might get a few chuckles if I do....
