Globalism wrapped in the flag is by no means conservative.

It’s a fraud, and we’re having none of it

I hate to say it but conservatism does not appear to work for conservatives.Thanks to immigration we are probably close to living in a post conservative world. It looks like it only works for the boys at the chamber of commerce and they are the ones who colluded with the Democrats to put us where we are

What you call "conservatism" is simply globalism wrapped in the flag by fraudsters and con artists. You are a nationalist. Be proud of it.

Maybe it is time for them to start paying all of those taxes any way

"All" is key.

Little Marco, struggling to recover from his disaster last Saturday, stammered out a rationale for amnesty by saying the invaders would have to "pay some taxes".

Well, I was born in Brooklyn New York to two citizen parents, and I don't have to pay "some" taxes, I have to pay every last f***ing dime.

What's good enough for me is good enough for them.

You know, if it comes to that, we are side by side !

It may be me, but here's one candidate that has placed himself front and center of deeds promised. That said, he has lined himself to the worst criticism ever should he fail to produce.

Can you see DT putting himself out there without a plan to succeed

Actually I meant for the country clubbers to pay more taxes, but, I guess for the “immigrants” as well that’s fine too.

Ah, “conservative thought”. I guess that’s like “conservative principles” and “true conservatism”, etc. Right?

You know like the “conservative thought” used by the pandering, lying, cringing, sold-out, PC, DC insider GOP establishment in Congress who continuously stabs we American workers in the back, right?

Or was that the “conservative thought” used by the GOP in Congress to stand up to Obama and stop his agenda by passing a budget that eviscerated his illegal immigration policies, eliminated the energy-destroying EPA, eliminated the Marxist propaganda Education Department, eliminated the job-destroying Labor Department, eliminated the racist Civil Rights Commission, defunded the FCC until they give back control of the Internet to private industry, defunded Obamacare, defunded enforcement of 99% of Obama’s regulations and Executive Orders?

I wonder which of those groups using “conservative thought” that we’re talking about here. Or is there some OTHER, third group of “conservative thinkers” in Congress? Some group of “thoughtful conservatives” that have done amazingly wonderful, “thoughtfully conservative” things that have marvelously benefited the people of our country?

“Small consolation for bigger government.”

Wish someone could limit the size of government, but even Reagan failed at that.

20-some % of government employees say they’ll leave if trump is elected.

So in that sense, a conservative attitude of responsibility does beat out the idea of returning to some less centralized system of government in the minds of voters.

Watch out, x. Knives are flying.

I thought of this anecdote when Wayne Allensworth sent me a link to a piece by National Review “roving editor” Kevin D. Williamson. Entitled “If Your Town Is Failing, Just Go,” and subtitled “A prescription for impoverished communities,” the article reminded me why I quit reading National Review over a quarter of a century ago.

Good article. Now it's "If Your Country is Failing, Just Go". But NR are the "True Conservatives". They keep telling us so.
