The fight for conservatism

The American Conservative Union (www.conservative.org), founded in 1964, dates back to the earliest days of the modern conservative movement.

Unlike neoconservatives and even some traditional conservatives, who have fallen in love with big, busy government and its power, the ACU continues to keep the "true" conservative faith by lobbying hard for limited government, individual liberty, capitalism, a strong national defense and a strict reading of the Constitution.

I wish the GOP SOMEONE would cut spending. I know the Democrats and Republicans won't.

[Consort]

Someone will someday. In the meantime, the Dems are the bigger problem.

[Protagoras]

No, liberals and big government authoritarians are the bigger problem. No matter what letter is behind their name.

[Consort]

There are more liberals/socialists in the Democrat Party. Don't empower them in any way.

[Protagoras]

There are more liberals/socialists in the Democrat Party.

Why quibble over a few percent?

Don't empower them in any way.

Which would include what?

[Consort]

Doing anything that will give them control. Use your imagination.

[Protagoras]

Use your imagination.

I can't imagine, please enlighten me. I wanna hear the rant.

[Consort]

If you can't imagine, you can't understand. And ranting beats whining any day, any time.

[Protagoras]

Calling a spade a spade isn't whining.

Pretending that to do anything except vote for liberal slugs in Republican costumes is whining.

[Consort]

Wrong, and you are whining.

[Protagoras]

Wrong, you are whining.

[Protagoras]

I'm not whining, I'm voting against any liberal slob, no matter what party. And I'm never voting for any liberal who is less liberal than some other liberal.

Now you can whine about that, which is what you HAVE been doing. All the while refusing to lay your cards on the table. Very heroic. LOL

[Consort]

Since you're having trouble thinking on you own, just follow the guide lines below until further notice:

• If he/she has an "R" after his/her name, vote for him/her.
• Yes, in politics, winning is everything.
• Republicans running against Democrats have earned your vote.
• If the choice is between two evils, vote for the lesser evil, even though they are both evil.
• No matter how big or small government gets, never allow the Democrats to control any part of it.
• Common sense trumps principles, morals, personal views, and conscience because even the bad guys have them — but they don't resemble ours in any way, shape or form.
• You can rant but you can't whine.

[Protagoras]

I thought well enough on my own to get a chump like you to admit the things you listed, which were incidently, all moronic.

[Consort]

You're making my case. Continue.

[Protagoras]

You already made my case. You may stop posting now. LOL

[k2blader]

Your "guide lines" are truly mindless and scary.

[Consort]

Yes, the gullible take them seriously.
