The next time Mark Levin or Ted Cruz, or Bill Kristol...any number of pundits in media or on Free Republic try to shame you, tell them to take a hike.

Mike Pence is a fully signed and certified member of this diverse revolution.

He has no problem sorting through the clutter to address the existential issues.

“Conservative Orthodoxy has become a whore, drunk on our blood and travails.”

I’ve thought that for years! If what we’ve seen of “so-called conservatism” in recent years is what is really is, it needs to go, and be replaced with populism or whatever it is that you call what Trump is selling. Conservatism only works for the crony capitalists today. The Dow isn’t a measure of how average people are doing, it’s just a barometer for the rich.

Trump is selling Americanism.

It's okay, you can say it.

BS. If Pence wasn’t on the ticket, you’d be railing against him as a “globalist.” ‘Fess up.

I’ll not budge one inch on Sodomitic “marriage” because it violates the Natural Law on which not just this society but every society is based.

However, there were a lot of “conservative” positions that just didn’t make sense anymore, and it’s about time a Republican realized it. If “strong military” means being involved in senseless conflicts throughout the globe count me out. If “pro-business” means letting the big banks charge the American taxpayer for their losses, or allowiung illegals to pour in and “do the jobs Americans won’t do” then stuff that.

Of course I would. Undeniably.

However, Pence has no power of decision at VP. He has agreed, in essence, to keep his philosophy contained.

On your list of priorities, is that the battle we should fight first?

Lol! Well like the article says, we’ve literally all been shamed into not saying it. Or at least silenced from saying it by the scathing, mocking Left.

No way to put “Free Trade” back in the bottle, Mariner.

Business owners and consumers from almost every country in the world can compare prices and product quality in milliseconds.

And, the pay scale for low and medium skill labor, in EVERY country, has peaked, and will stagnate or decline for decades into the future.

Trump and the “new” Conservatives are fighting the last economic war.

The next war will be “our” robots and business/engineering software against “their” robots and business/engineering software.

I work for, with and among the most advanced Tech companies in the world.

What I see is even core technology research being distributed throughout the world and even to adversarial nations.

And ALL of the manufacturing is "over there". Half of all workers are H-1B or past H-1B with a green card.

Anyone who supports that is undermining the core, strategic security interests of the United States.

The “conservatism” of recent years has not been conservative at all.

Yeah, we’ve all been sitting around while the “rich conservatives” have been blowing smoke up our collective a$$es!” It took Donald Trump to show us the way.

Currency manipulation makes your argument moot. Indeed, and what of price dumping and foreign tariffs?

Most of the conservative movement has been co-opted by Davos-style, transnational neoliberalism.

This is whay the mini-cons at NR and Weekly Standard strongly prefer $hillary to Trump.
