Their attempt to create a country to be governed under the rule of law and not by men, knowing the good and evil of human nature, was nothing short of a miraculous. To even think that it has lasted this long is simply amazing. Freedom was the conviction that created America and it was to become the shining light for the rest of the world to follow. Everyone wanted to go to America, they still do. Ever since it's creation, America has been challenged by old and failed ideologies, the ugly side of human nature. I am in local town politics and fighting the Liberals. I am not on the sidelines complaining, I am doing and taking the hits with my fellow comrades and we are slowly winning and taking back our town. If it is good at the bottom, it will be good at the top. Nobody wakes up one day and decides to be president. They all come from some where local. I'm also not nieave about old world families with their financial power houses pulling the strings throughout the world for their own purposes. I do not have the power to control that. But as a conservative, my conviction is simple, it is to be free, the freedom my forefathers allowed me, and will live, fight, and die for my freedom. I will not be "nice" to anyone who is stealing my freedom.

The Supreme Court has spoken, etc etc. The Republican Party wishes the issue would go away so it can talk about business and why we need more immigrants. Like that.<br /><br />Compare that to the left's reaction to Citizens United. Are they saying that the Sup Ct has spoken and therefore we need to shut up about this? No. They attack that decision at every opportunity - even the President attacked it in a State of Union address. <br /><br />Conservatives need to take a leaf from the left's book here. Never ever capitulate. I do not think a Constitutional amendment declaring marriage to be limited to one man and one woman will ever pass, but one declaring marriage regulation to be the province of the states just might. There are many ssm supporters who also support states' rights and therefore could be persuaded to support such an amendment. Should this be successful (and it would take years) then attack the notion of ssm state by state. But attack the notion under any circumstances.

A low-testosterone, effete, over-dressed, submissive type of person who is more concerned with not being calling a "racist" on CNN than with advancing the interests of the United States. Someone who would watch his wife/country going at it with someone of a more primitive race.<br /><br />But, yes, I have seen many people who clearly have some animus toward Jews attaching themselves to this idea. Apart from being racist or whatever, this is just stupid, since the interests of (real, religious) Jews and Israel largely align closely with the interests of white American Christian conservatives. There may be some disagreement on the necessity of Bush's wars among the libertarian Paul camp, but I don't think many Israelis consider that a deal-breaker. And if your issue is with Karl Marx and Walter Benjamin, well they are more atheists than Jews, and, from what I gather, religious Jews don't like them either. The far left Jews are more leftists than they are Jews. And anyway aren't Ashkenazi Jews just about the highest average IQ? You really sure you want to pick a fight with them?<br /><br />Jacques Barzun noted that ideas that are supressed will eventually become popular because of their suppression. That seems to be what's happening here. Western cultural memory is now far enough from the 1940's to somewhat permit anti-Jewish sentiment. Now, this is wrong, but it's not wrong because distrust toward a particular race is always wrong. No, it's wrong because anyone with an IQ above 90 would want Jews on their side, and any Christian would realize they have a lot more in common with (real, religious) Jews than they do with Muslims, Hindus or atheists. <br /><br />A rational Christian conservative would want to make common cause with conservative Jews. They share enough beliefs, especially when compared to the Muslim or atheist alternative, to make an alliance feasible and productive. So why some #cuckservative Twitter personalities chose to play on the idea of "Jewish influence" etc. is puzzling from a rational point of view. But recalling Barzun, they know they can stir the pot by introducing old Europe anti-Semitic ideas / "dog whistles" which have been supressed. The supression has created the interest. It is just narcissistic self-promotion; they will say anything for five more Twitter followers.<br /><br />Recalling that our interests are aligned, I am not sure it is wise to dismiss #cuckservative entirely. Israel is strong enough to survive a few Twitter trolls. The more important target is the low-testosterone right that is more concerned with being "not a racist" than with defending the United States.Patrick https://www.blogger.com/profile/05255276399870325008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-30940248349103730582015-08-08T00:25:09.871-04:002015-08-08T00:25:09.871-04:00I no longer give quarter to any leftist.

I try to make them own the senseless murder of millions of children to abortion. Especially the targeting of African Americans, calling it what it is GENOCIDE. Now the ghoulish selling of body parts at tax payer expense,I tell them they are no better than the neighboring communities outside the Nazi concentration camps, that they must raise an alarm or be doomed to HELL. The fallacy of Global warming costing consumers (them) billions of dollars. I will no longer pull any punches if a liberal relative or acquaintance dares to brings up any of these subjects, whether in my shop or in the church foyer. Don't even mention BHO if you don't want your ears singed.

Some amount of greed ...Well said Daniel and Fuzzy.<br /><br />Some amount of greed and sleaze is inevitable in politics (and pretty much everywhere else). I'd rather have a moderately greedy leader who actually fights than a perfectly altruistic one who lets the left walk all over him. (Although even that would be an improvement over the greedy, sleazy AND submissive GOP we have now.)<br /><br />Even in war, there are certain legal and moral boundaries, but you have to be willing to walk that very fine line right up to the edge of them. Otherwise you're like a general afraid of killing "too many" of the other side, or afraid of winning because it'll hurt the feelings of the other side. That's the whole point, you have to convince them that they are defeated (i.e., hurt their feelings) or else they'll keep fighting. Or, perhaps worse, like someone who plants the seeds of doubt that maybe you're going too far when you're really not. (Scrupulosity.) At that point you're effectively playing for the other team.<br /><br />"Cuckservative" is basically just a Twitter hashtag, but it does serve the useful and amusing function of annoying the right people. There was some professional conservative pundit who raged for days about the horrific insult to his adopted black child. The invective was probably harsher than anything he'd ever aimed at the left, thus proving the point. It helps to have a sense of humor about this sort of thing, which is something the left sorely lacks.<br /><br />Also, for the autistic nitpickers, yes of course it's a somewhat broad generalization, which is true in certain senses of the word "nice" but not others. It's a blog post, not a definitive multi-volume reference. Try to give people the benefit of the doubt and to stick to the essential points, otherwise you look petty.Patrick https://www.blogger.com/profile/05255276399870325008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-88045048490992266622015-08-07T14:14:56.849-04:002015-08-07T14:14:56.849-04:00"The left is convinced that the world is an e..."The left is convinced that the world is an evil place, that people are basically terrible and that they are the only thing standing between us and the return of human slavery."<br /><br />But isn't it that kind of attitude that creates that environment?<br /><br />JB KeeneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-84872055941112513242015-08-07T13:51:35.922-04:002015-08-07T13:51:35.922-04:00"... liberals have to force themselves to be ..."... liberals have to force themselves to be nice."<br /><br />They don't seem to put much effort into it.alanstormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-36127429809228475172015-08-07T12:41:03.374-04:002015-08-07T12:41:03.374-04:00Daniel, you've explained the popularity of Don...Daniel, you've explained the popularity of Donald Trump.

THANK YOU. I am sending this out to friends, family, and GOP legislators/state party leaders.<br /><br />This hit home because recently a GOP state legislator here in Colorado was "condemned" by unnamed GOP leaders after he stated his private opinion on his private website about the Boy Scouts welcoming homosexual scout leaders. Immediately the LGBT fascists and Democrat legislators went in to hyperdrive calling for his discipline with the ultimate goal of making sure he never gets elected again. I went into action asking people to contact all the GOP legislators, GOP state party officers, etc. telling them to stand up to the LGBT bullies, not to cower in fear of them. This legislator had every right to his opinion and the GOP should have stood up for the Constitutional values of free speech and religious liberty. Instead they "tried to make nice" with the left by "condemning" the legislator for what he said. Of course the media loved the story. So the GOP accomplished only one thing and that was to embolden the left more. http://www.krdo.com/news/springs-representatives-comments-on-boy-scout-leadership-policy-change-sparks-controversy/34429106 Until the GOP learns to stand up for liberty and freedom for all they are nothing but a cooked goose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-90318449600982042352015-08-06T21:22:47.316-04:002015-08-06T21:22:47.316-04:00Many conservatives argue the exact opposite: that ...Many conservatives argue the exact opposite: that while liberals believe in a mushy, hippy dippy way that the world and people are basically nice, conservatives, because they embrace the doctrine of original sin, see the "warped timber" of humanity for what it is.
