I don’t hold back. Conservatives don’t say “Faux News” or complain about “crony capitalism”. Regardless of how conservative you may be, you are parroting leftist talk right there.
I can appreciate that. Forthrightness is a solid Conservative trait. It's the leftists who have mastered the art of dissembling.
Conservatives dont say Faux News or complain about crony capitalism.
Since I wasn't the poster using the "Faux News" term, I'll focus on "crony capitalism". Here's Sarah Palin explaining how that corrupted form of capitalism is a blight on America. I don't doubt her Conservative credentials and I hold Mrs. Palin in very high regard. When leftists infiltrate our economic system, the best ever devised, the result is not unfettered free enterprise but a vile product characterized by its cronyism.
I'll add that I likewise have nothing less than high regard for your Service to Our Country in the Air Force. And really, I think that our divergence on this matter is primarily semantic and not fundamental.
