” When a child screws up, the first thing a parent does is tell them what they did wrong and why. Because many conservatives behave politically and vote like children, they need to be told what they did wrong and why, otherwise they bull onward defending their poor choices, repeating them, ensnaring more people in their destructive patterns and compounding the problems they created.”
Rough definition of insanity.
” Stop trying to out-unicorn unicorns with magical thinking about holding feet to the fire. No one ever does because after we vote, we are all but powerless to alter our initial decision.”
Goood....”after the fact” is meaningless!
” Do not fear the word ‘Purist”. the opposite of purity is corruption. Pick one and go with it.”
This is doubtless one of the DUMBEST “copouts” liberal Republicans try to use as a weapon to silence conservative FReepers. Another one I hate as much is trashing Reagan to make their favorite candidate look good. True slimeball move, and intellectually contemptible.
“Stop providing aid, comfort and outlets for people that deny any of the above. They are not conservatives. Everything above used to be a foregone conclusion. It’s all Conservatism 101 stuff. Has been forever. The problems began when we ignored it.”
Great post, Norm.
Over the past 6 years, many of us have torn this issue apart 6 ways to Wednesday. Not one excuse that the lesser evils invent has ever withstood even the most casual scrutiny and yet they just repeat the same stupidZ over and over and over.
Sure, occasionally one of the duller ones gets a flash of brilliance and posts a pic of Yosemitie Sam on a dragon. I get that. Yosemitie Sam on a dragon stands as a big stumbling block for us I admit, (I mean that is some hardcore stuff right there!) but we manage to overcome even that ‘big gun’ of the lesser evil philosophy.
Maybe someday people will understand for themselves why I am convinced that 60% of America is clinically insane.
