You keep saying having only conservatives on a conservative site - that we would all agree.

Well, fella, when everybody starts out with the same beliefs and the same way of thinking and the same positions, how much disagreement can there be? The disagreements would just be in the degree of intensity by which different people feel about the issues, but in general, the positions would be virtually the same. The point is that a debate amongst like-thinkers is not much of a debate. You might as well look in a mirror, make a point or a statement, and then point at yourself in that mirror and say: "I agree with you wholeheartedly; you rock!".

What an asinine comment.

You remind me of a typical liberal in a discussion who, when on the verge of losing the argument, will either try to shout down the opposition or resort to insults.

What conservatives disagree on - is of LESS IMPORTANCE - than what we disagree on w/trolls.

All discussions, hopefully, present different points or arguments and different points of views. When conservatives have disagreements, those disagreements won't be much to talk about shortly after the discussion is over. When discussions occur between or amongst widely different points of view, then it's quite possible that the disagreements will be something that will be remembered for a long time. And, it's also quite possible that, during the debate or argument, that one or both parties in the discussion will learn something form the other party. Like-minded people often don't present anything that the other party doesn't already know.

As a former liberal who is now a conservative, I can tell you that I know what I'm talking about a whole lot better than you.

There isn't a conservative that doesn't know who they are dealing w/by their answers. A troll doesn't 'get it'and, therefore, really thinks 'no one knows'

It's quite apparent that your way of thinking has nothing to do with being a conservative. You sound very closed-minded and your attitude is like those who want "their way or the highway". You sound like you have a lot of life-learning to do. Hopefully, it's not too late to start for you.

It's obvious this is way over your head.

As a matter of fact, why don't you quit while you're behind or, you'll get further behind.

Look at it this way...

The word "conservative" has nothing to do with a simple or a singular way of thinking. It has nothing to do with "conserving" a way of thinking or a way of living or a way of doing things. It's got something to do with doing what's best for the country and the people in it. If you're a conservative, and I'm a conservative, then we're both on the same side. But, it doesn't mean that we need to shut out different points of view or different ways of thinking or different ways of doing things. We don't, however, have to stand by and hope for the best when we know that things may be going wrong or the wrong people are in command.

You never got rid of your ‘liberal’ mindset. Bug off. But before you do - you proved my point nicely so I didn’t complete waste my time.
