This is true.
And it is an agenda. Any conservative in truth would be out there rallying the troops to find and vote for conservatives.
I'm starting to really hate the term conservative
, on the ideological sense my stance of strict Constitutionalism would result in a drastically different government and there's the perfectly valid definition of keeping things the same
that can be applied to the word. I don't want things the same: I want more Truth, I want more Justice, I want more Liberty.
One could also argue that the Spirit of Laziness is strongly correlated with conservative
— because look at how an actual activity (the TEA Party) was and is such a aberration.
These guys totally ignore the words of the founders saying EXPLICITLY not to vote for things we know are wrong.
And they ignore that voting for the lesser of two evils
is still voting for evil.
I can get behind someone I don't perfectly agree with, so it's not a purity
issue.
The purity thing is another of the moderate cop outs to avoid reality. For all the accusations I get hit with (a lot) about being a purist, I’m perfectly fine with Reagan’s 80 percent.
And Romney couldn’t crack 50 with a tailwind. If he broke 20 in all seriousness I’d be floored.
So there it is. You have a bunch of people who to this day defend and scream at us because we refused to go all in on a guy that can’t even produce a majority of conservative examples in his record.
On the ‘conservative moniker, I have to agree. The moderate/leftists pretty much rendered it meaningless anyway. It’s just a fashion statement for a lot of people nowdays as they shre as hell don’t walk the talk. See my post history yesterday for a couple stunning examples by ‘name’ freepers.
