I see a lot of mindless bile spewing and insults being screamed at domestic political opponents. I am not seeing anything looking like a rational alternative response from the Right.

Everyone knows the Left and the Right hate each other. That no reason for the Right to go bat crap crazy in knee jerk opposition simply because the Left is in power in DC/ That acting like the Left always does. It sickening when they do it, It is equally sick when we do it,

The West is not engaging in active military operations. It use to be this response was what "Conservatives" wanted. They wanted other people to fight their own wars. Now they got one and their new standard is everyone should slavishly surrender to Putin's thuggishness instead. The West is giving support to the Ukraine's and applying their economic and political tools in response to an illegal act of aggression by Putin's regime.

If the Right opposes that, they need to come up with a rational adult alternative rather then just publishing these sort of bile laced tirades because they hate the people running DC.

Rather then mindless spew bile because of domestic political difference, Conservatives need to stop acting like Leftists and present a rational alternative response

I fully agree with what you are saying and the number of posts here that (with a change of a name/country/issue) are basically identical to the unhinged ranting of the demented left we’ve been hearing for 20 plus years.

One problem is that we (conservatives) have lost track of what it is that we believe, our guiding principles, our traditions, what we have learned from history, and the fundamental nature of humans.

The last two (lessons of history and human nature) are a key difference between us conservatives and our opposites. Read the Federalist Papers. Look at how the US founding fathers looked at the lessons history (recent and ancient) and applied them to their then current circumstances while being mindful of imperfect human nature.

Right now I’m not seeing much of this sort of thing from conservatives and it’s something that I personally have to keep reminding myself to do all the time.

Regardless of which way someone decides on the Russia/Ukraine issue, they need to be able to explain how they got to their decision and be able to defend it from reasonable questioning without sounding off like a complete idiot wanker.
