GRUMPY Old Men Are HURTING The CONSERVATIVE Movement (MENTIONS FR!!!)
YouTube ^ | 8/1/20 | Patrick Rooney

Posted on 08/01/2020 4:01:17 PM PDT by rebuildus

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™, laments the slide of heroic white, conservative men into "grumpy old men."

Meanwhile, it is often taking black men, black women, and black woman IMMIGRANTS to inspire new blood into the movement, too often leaving "grumpy old men" in the dust.

One of the reasons for the existence of Old School™ is to "teach old dogs new tricks"—to re-inspire "grumpy old men" to return to being the "happy warriors" of old. It is not too late—for grumpy old men or America!

“ Too many fools on FR that believe everything they read on the Internet. Out of one side of their mouth they praise Reagan. The next minute they say that Trump is the greatest conservative ever. Seems to me, people have have a warped idea of conservatism.”

You sound grouchy.

Oh I got the message all right. He’ll be the first one that gets stomped into the ground and robbed when he hits the savage crowds in the streets while preaching his Pollyanna politics.

In addition to Trump's many conservative accomplishments Rush mentioned yesterday, some of which I listed in my post #94, add the long list of conservative judges that Trump has already appointed and gotten approved, and his finally recognizing Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel, and moving our embassy there.   Also add his changing our illegal immigrant policies, and beginning to build a protective wall at the southern border.

Commentary Magazine's pro-immigration blog was trying to push this same grumpy-old-men and inspirational-young-immigrants theme about a month ago.

They even suggested that Africa was bubbling over with passionate young Conservatives who would show tired old American Conservatives how the game is played.

Commentary Magazine - which I read only for Israeli news and political insight - gave up on this absurd claim after a couple days.

The “better times than these” is heavily implied by that idiot so I just used a phrase that simple enough that the stupid can figure it out easily enough.

Seems it wasn’t easy enough for some.

We had better get our act together, and fast.

Yeah, it's time we settle on any one of the 57 varieties of conservatism. Better yet, since it's been dying a slow death since Reagan left office, let's try something new that combines MAGA, populism, and interventionism.

per Rooney, as quoted in #8:
"Yes, I still help individuals find great health through natural solutions."
No thanks, I'm already sending my social security check to Peter Popoff for packets of his "Miracle Spring Water".

I guess some fools might see that as a contradiction of some sort.

Woody Allen said that Commentary was merging with Dissent. The new magazine will be called Dysentery.
