One could say the same for Conservative Orthodoxy.
I’m still shocked the election wasn’t crooked enough to be stolen! :)
The Werewolves were a group formed in postwar Germany to preserve the “accomplishments” of the Nazi regime. They provided great precedent on how to deal with such organizations. Look it up.
This article concerns me a bit. It seems we are making the same mistake that the left did eight years ago in assuming that an electoral victory in the current cycle implies that our opposition is completely finished as a viable political force. Think about Trump’s victory for a moment. We seem to be treating it as an overwhelming victory. It was not. While ot was certainly a clear, decisive and legitimate win, it was in reality also a very close win. Three states, PA, MI, and WI, were all decided by less than 1% margins. It is not difficult to imagine that the Dems might be able to turn those states blue in 2020, especially if they nominate a candidate who isn’t a felon and isn’t horribly unlikable.
I am not trying to spread doom and gloom. I am trying to point out that now is not the time to sit back and rest on our laurels. We won this battle, but the political war with the left continues unabated. We need to keep up the fight, not retire from the battlefield believing that the war is won.
Was a conservative cow mentioned in the article?
My first cup of coffee is still full.:)
Let their hatred destroy them. And it will!!!
How true.

EXCERPT--- Trump’s victory was a defeat of their conceit that a progressive was above politics (party machinery's their god), in possession of spotless truth, that the arc of history bent only their way, and for such people there’s no room for compromise and no space for politics.......the progressive thought he’d only muddy himself if he treated opponents with anything more than disdain.
That’s how President Obama conducted himself in office and that’s how many Democrats see Republicans, and that’s why they’re not emotionally able to accept their defeat.
Trump showed progressives that they were self-deceived, that they weren’t in sole possession of the right and the good......and that’s a deep psychic wound.

Buckley's compelling insights..... "a progressive thinks he/she is in possession of spotless truth, that they’d only muddy themselves if they treated opponents with anything more than disdain"......
....precisely explains why Hillary actually thought she could get away w/ calling a huge swath of American voters "deplorable and "irredeemable"....and expected no repercussions.
Also explains Meryl Streep's outrageous comments.
We're not making the mistake, and won't. The writer is making the mistake!
Thanks!
“One could say the same for Conservative Orthodoxy.”
If one didn’t mind lying one could say that.
It took me about three minutes to explain the invalidity of that line of argumentation to my 11-year-old.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes. Much safer to keep the proverbial boots and knuckles on. We can’t be at peace until we have utterly crushed the enemies of this country.
Precisely.
You’re welcome to take a run at convincing me and the rest of this forum, in addition to your 11-year old.
