Agreed. It is very sad to see how so many FReepers have lost their minds, have abandoned conservatism and embraced the cult of personality.

That’s your opinion, but it’s not supported by the facts. “Conservatism,” as “practiced by the GOP” is a sham. It’s simply a vebal artifice to maintain the status quo for people who are no more conservative that the man in the moon. It would appear to me that “conservatives” today are like Christmas & Easter Catholics. Their “principles” go out the window just as soon as they take office. So while I consider myself a conservative, I am tired of being bull$hitted by people who utilze conservatism to further their own non-conservative agendas. So now, I want someone who will actually be a leader and make good on his promised actions. The idea that Trump is a “cult” is simply nonsense. So have at it all you “doctrinaire conservatives” here, the rest of us are tired of being “played” by the likes of the National Review and their “hand picked conservative candidates” all of whom are the real cult here. When you can put together a “conservative slate” who can do something other than flap their gums, call me, because it’s way past time for meaningful change.
