[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Mencken was a miserable old wretch. Hardly worth quoting. If you believe that your chief purpose in life is "good times," that's fine. However, I hardly see the long term significance of such a lifestyle. Conservatives used to be known as those who have sought to preserve all that is best in our culture. Perhaps that is undergoing some redefiniton.

Oh for God's sake.

There's no reason to follow in Mencken's footsteps now, is there? I was merely pointing out that the Democrats attempt to construct the risk free lifestyle through the medium of law and regulation is against every fiber of human nature. Mencken was merely being pithy about it when he was speaking of Republicans in those days. The worm has turned, as it were.

It is not "against" conservatism to have a good time once in a while.

Sheesh!

Be Seeing You,
