I wish I could sit down with #NeverTrump and ask them, "When YOU say Conservative, what the hell do YOU mean?"
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Exactly. Little Billy Kristol and Rich Lowry are the worst.
Grow up...and stop being so 'hurt'.
To me conservative means little without the Prefix “Christian”. Christian Conservative means something that is grounded in the rock that drives the direction of conservatism. Without it, the other means nothing.
It matters little what is mandated speech (here or elsewhere) if one is trying to be true to the Lord of Lords.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you (even at FR), for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets. - Luke 6:26 (w/ artistic license in parenthesis)
One must speak one’s mind as mandated by what we know is the truth. We are given a guide and it does not once contain “never bend to envy” in Proverbs.
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. - Romans 6:1-2
“Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” — Charles H. Spurgeon
It is knowing when someone can’t even deal with the simplest of moral conundrums (guys don’t use the women’s restroom) because their compass is non-existent with anything remotely based on the rock.
Fruits - they are either good or bad. There is a difference.
Where did I say I was hurt?
Trump won, and I now support him, unless he fails to reach the magic number, but for now he is the presumptive nominee.
I was going to say something, but then I clicked your about page and saw two of the most beautiful shepherds I have ever laid my eyes on!
Just absolutely gorgeous!
You are truly blessed, and now I’m going to go brush my shepherd girl and go to sleep.
G’nite!
Not salty - Frosty.
Cruz for all his blather about the United States Constitution, ultimately distains it as he KNOWS he is not eligible to run for President.
I agree completely. The two of them are clearly honest supporters rather than entrepreneurs posting for dollars. I have, on occasion, disagreed with the content or with the tone from each of them, and I have seen both look stressed. I have never seen either look insincere. BFAC has been a wonderfully gracious winner, and 2dv both openly stated his role as a bundler and continued to promote the same values even after his candidate dropped out. FR is lucky to have people like both of them.
I don't want to lose them, or 'use them up' ... I want to "conserve" them.
For me, a lot of politics and social structure is embodied in the works of Norman Rockwell.
>>Did you know that, at the end of the Civil War, there were more prostitutes in Washing DC than in any other city on our planet?<<
There still are.
That sounds awfully like the end justifies the means. In my mind, a conservative believes in the Constitution and supports smaller, less intrusive government. Many self proclaimed conservatives look to the federal government to solve all their problems including social, moral and economic.
To live the life of freedom as the constitution framers envisioned is frightening beyond approach to 90% of the citizens, IMHO. You could starve to death, you could be out on the streets and tough luck, your retirement meant you worked until either you died, saved enough totally on your own, or had family take care of you. Mom & pop shops on every street with almost no regulation (like I remember some in the 50’s). Only one parent had to work to fully support a family with 6 kids. Just for starters.

What is the maid’s political philosophy?
Their “conservative” is to conserve and expand all power, rights and wealth globally for themselves.
The most alarming single danger to the American political system lies in the fact that an identifiable team of Fabian operators is bent on controlling both our major political parties(under the sanction of such fatuous and unreasoned slogans as "national unity," "middle-of-the-road," "progressivism," and "bipartisanship.") ...No superstition has more effectively bewitched America's Liberal elite than the fashionable concepts of world government, the United Nations, internationalism, international atomic pools, etc. Perhaps the most important and readily demonstrable lesson of history is that freedom goes hand in hand with a state of political decentralization, that remote government is irresponsible government. It would make greater sense to grant independence to each of our 50 states than to surrender U.S. sovereignty to a world organization.
It stands to reason that these operators would also infiltrate and adopt the label of "conservative," as well as publications that started out with the mission of advocating for "whatever conservatism is."
I wonder why.
It can start by supporting less government
It can start by NOT supporting those who are for illegal immigration
It can start by NOT supporting those who promote Islaamic immigration
It can start by NOT being two face about everyone else
so, that leaves out Trump right from the start
