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.

Still, I thought those perfectly fit the attitudes of some Freepers, rather affectionately known as "Bush-bots", who are definitely as mindless and scary as most Democrats.

They are spot on. And if the poster wants to distance himself from them, why doesn't he just post what he really means? I asked him a pointed question, to which he first danced and avoided, then he posted his true feelings. If he was being sarcastic, he didn't show it and the prior posts indicate it was his true feelings.

Ask him to post what he really thinks if it isn't what he first said.

Then start the music so you can watch him dance again. (he's not good at it, but he tries)

Ask him to post what he really thinks...........

I think you're an idiot, just like plenty of other posters that you have been arguing with on the others threads. Go brush your tooth.

[Protagoras]

That makes it even. And I'm sure most intelligent people who read that post would agree.

I argue with idiots all day, you are just one insignificant case in the mix.

[Consort]

Keep digging.

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.

Keep digging.

No need to dig, your right there on the surface, like all the rest of the castings.

[Consort]

Now, you keep a copy of those guidlines (they were written for people like you) and you follow them word for word. Got it?

[Protagoras]

I intend to keep a copy so it can be pointed out what your suggestions are. Got it?

[Consort]

Sounds like a plan to me. They have been posted several times on a number of threads.

[k2blader]

Well, I'd luv to join the second-guessing, but I'm busy on some other thread where folks are bashing people who choose not to have babies.

[Protagoras]

And did you tell eveyone on those threads that it was a joke too and run away from it?

[Protagoras]

Have fun over there, this guy is sinking fast, and it's getting boring.

[Consort]

Don't forget to follow the guidelines.

[Protagoras]

No thanks, they describe what you do, not what normal folks do.

[Gargantua]

Making friends and spreading more love over here now, Protty? I can feel the love in this room...

"People who proclaim themselves winners, are losers."

AHHhhh. I see...

[Protagoras]

I assume you are stalking me so you can pray a little harder for me. Are you going to attack me again before you hit your knees on my behalf?

[Protagoras]

AHHhhh. I see...

Glad to see you are embracing clarity.
