I think that "conservative this" and "conservative that" have become the most hated words in the American political lexicon - by those who hold conservative tenets, because they precede pandering to liberals and condescension to one's presumed political supporters - I mean where are you gonna go - Pelosi? I have no clue where many of Trump's policies fit on the political spectrum because while everyone else is arguing political labels Trump is trying to argue practicalities and common sense (which stopped being big-C Conservative values with the passing of Reagan and certainly with the passing of WFB).
I personally cringe whenever I see a pol waving his "C" in my face. I grab my wallet, close my ears and head for the exit - you know like when Ryan said that we need to pass the budget so we could turn to "our [what's this royal we stuff] Conservative" agenda - the out of control budget being at the top of the little-c conservative agenda.
Agreed on the confusion issued with propaganda, but we need to retain some of our language and terms for the purpose of teaching the next generation.
Conservatism is not so hard to understand despite the confusing obfuscations and subversive claims of impostors. To be conservative is to agree with the relevant tenets behind the founding of our nation.
To be conservative is to agree with the most important fundamentals taught and agreed upon by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and others who stood with them on those principles.
More young folks should engage in learning more about civics and American history in order to be less affected by Internet propaganda disseminated mostly from drug-addled minds in blue states. We’ve failed for more than a generation to make sure that such education is delivered to them.
When those who oppose our freedoms begin to lose or get impatient, they tend to try to make messes of our tools of communication in hopes that more of their own kind will become confused enough to rise from the mess to their side and against our freedoms.
And one way to try to have our freedoms outlawed is to promote unreasonable extents of freedom for some people (”more equal animals”) that allow the way to violations of freedoms, property rights or lives of others. As I said before, the objective of anarchists in Europe was to clear the way for communists, as we recently saw on display from the cruddy likes of Antifa.
