In unvarnished reality: it is you sour, self-adoring Buchananite types who have been "driving many of the best posters from this site" (or, rather, have been attempting to do so, at any rate). And referring to principled conservatives -- men and women whose primary core conservative concerns are lower taxes, national defense, the ongoing abortion holocaust, the Regan Doctrine, re: defending democracies overseas (such as Israel), etc., etc. -- as "cheerleaders" and " 'bots" only calls your own narrow, absurd, comic book brand of "conservatism" into question, ultimately.
While you're whining like a spanked spaniel puppy that "smaller government" and "Hamiltonianism" are the only real, TRUE yardsticks of conservatism: we " 'bots" and "cheerleaders" are working to re-elect a man tirelessly defending American citizens from bloody terrorist assault on our own shores, and bringing long-needed democracy to the benighted Middle East.
WE'RE honoring the first principles of Reaganism: removing the grasping paw of Big Government from the wallets of working men and women; strengthening the military; championing the unborn; and promoting and exporting democracy overseas.
YOU, by comparison, sound like a constipated cross between Ross Perot and Noam Chomsky.
History will judge fairly which one of us adheres more steadfastly to the core principles of conservatism, ultimately. And that reckoning cannot come one hour or minute too soon, by my reckoning.
Go away. And take your coloring book with you.
Yes! The anti-FReeps have an ideology all their own, don't they?
