Ping ‘em and I hope it stings ‘em. It’s all true. Everyone knows there was a “groupthink” mentality here... especially during the first few years of his administration... and locking “A Day in the Life” threads as caucus threads was cultist.

Conservatives should be independent thinkers, not water carriers for whichever Republican happens to be President at the time.

If FR would have been around in the 70’s, we would have “Nixonfan” and “Day in the Life” threads all the while defending Watergate.

Actually, the people who were Bush supporters on the Dose were the polar opposite of "groupthink." So I guess 'everyone' doesn't know that. (If anything the 'groupthinkers' on this forum hate President Bush. Those of us who are discerning enough to admire him while not agreeing with everything he did are very independent of any so-called group. We, in the end, were the ones who were thinking for ourselves and not swayed by peer pressure).

The admiration expressed there was not 'cultist' either, as the people there were and are intelligent, independent-thinking, conservative, perceptive and at least the vast majority, very, very Christian. In fact, one of the most cutting ad hominems and the most baseless personal attacks against us was that of 'idolatry' and 'worship'. An instant way to demean a Bush supporter while setting oneself up as a spiritual superior. Very ugly.

"Cult" is a no-go.

And your parallel with Nixon is beyond absurd. As a well-aware, political animal, conservative Republican, I was horrified by what Nixon did, and his lack of character and courage.

So that's three strikes against you, streetpreacher. You're out. Completely wrong across the board.

Perhaps you should think twice about attacking this thread and Palin supporters too. Making comments without thinking is one of your weaknessess, IMO. And thinking is a critical part of conservatism.
