I’ve been an active conservative virtually all my life. A Hillsdale grad, knew Russell Kirk, an NJC person, knew M. Stanton Evans. Grew up in a house with parents who were involved (in a small way) in starting the Conservative Party. I spent many years in Young Americans for Freedom, served on the state board and on Platform Committee for 3 YAF conventions. I hve worked for a number of conservative organizations and written for conservative publications.

Don’t you dare challenge my conservatism, nor attempt to lecture me on conservatism.

I don’t believe you’d know conservatism if it introduced itself. Not if you think Trump, given his ideological wanderings, is a conservative.

The folks at National Review are dyed-in-the-wool conservatives who have been in the trenches, as most of us here have. Trump is an Establishment progressive who has changed his party registration 6 times and who has advocated liberal positions on almost every issue at fairly recent points.

I don’t think Trump is a doctrinaire conservative.
He is conservative where it counts.
Stopping the illegal alien inundation, which few of the so-called conservatives at NR have given much more than lip service to and some are actually paid cheerleaders for The Cheap Labor Express, is the paramount issue.

I believe NR has turned into a mouthpiece for the GOPe.

Your Holiness, care to give us a quick definition of what it is?

Bet you can't, Your Holiness.

I’m not avoiding response. I had last hour touches on my sermon to work out and then an afternoon with members. This evening or tomorrow. This from cell phone.
