And why do you post this? You think we’re going to click some Salon article?
Jeez. Learn to post, will ya?
Resurrecting Norman Rockwell from the dead
You could have posted more than a teaser excerpt. I’m not giving Salon the click.
For Salon, anything not dripping of Marx is radically conservative.
The RNC/GOP has been using “conservatism” to jerk us around and not actually “conserve” anything.
We are losing our country and both parties are responsible for the flood of fraudulently documented foreigners.
Donald is not wrecking the conservative movement in my opinion. I do not believe he’s part of the conservative movement. He may make a very good president and he’s clearly a strong, effective, attractive- to- many campaigner. But conservative isn’t a word I associate with him. Liberal or perhaps moderately-liberal populist - that seems a lot closer IMHO. And yes, I may still vote for him if he’s the nominee ( especially yes yes if the D’s are crazy enough to nominate Hillary the Liar! But I think they’ll find a way to select a much more viable candidate than old.”I don’t Give A Damn, it doesn’t make any Difference to me” Hillary. — watch for a far more saleable D candidate suddenly showing up soon, imho)
We haven't abandoned our conservative principles, we are supporting the candidate with the best chance of advancing some conservative principles.
Heck, if Trump only does ONE conservative thing (get rid of the illegals for instance), he would have done more to advance conservatism than any president since Reagan.
Does this mean I hate Cruz? nope, no one bit. I respect Cruz, but the hard truth is I don't believe he could win in the general election and even if he did I don't believe he could accomplish anything as he would allow himself to be pushed around by a coalition of the left and RINO’s that Trump would mow right over.
Thank you for the post.
If people don’t like it, they should explain why.
Otherwise they can explain what the agree.
Salon? WTF? SALON?
The author seems to kind of admire Trump.
They think he is destroying conservatism and they tend to admire totalitarianism.
I think that is their take, not necessarily mine.
Time would tell IF he wins.
I’m going to believe salon about as much as I believe Megyn Kelly.
Hey, The Ghost of FReepers Past, I have a question for you.
Why is there an eight year gap in your posting history from 3/31/2008 until 1/27/2016, when you suddenly started posting again and posting nothing but anti-Trump stuff, pro-Cruz stuff, and attacking Trump supporters?
Could it be that the Cruz campaign has clearly been hacking dormant FR accounts and using them to attack Trump with accounts that have old establishment dates to hide the fact that they’re actually FR noobs?
Here’s the link that shows your posting history and proves you’re a paid Cruz-Troll:

What conservative movement was there to wreck?
The conservative movement means nothing if none of my neighbors speak English.
Interesting Van Jones was equally concerned about it. And as we all know the hard left is very deeply concerned about the Conservative Movement.
