Not to hijack but to underscore, find the proper basis for, articulate a true perspective all 3, on what HillWill wrote:
That's not Conservatives that do that. It's Republicans. Those are 2 very different groups.
True enough still although, the conservative to fall prey to today's republican rent-seeking, power hungry, 'diaspora' is becoming all too fashionable and easy...there are few conservatives left anywhere.
Lending evermore credence to and paraphrasing Alexis Tocqueville's admonition (1830's) that, not enjoying the more intellectual and artistic pursuits, never saw a country whose populace was more...in love with money.
Since Reagan who was an opportunist convert from a life-long democrat, union leader and who voted for FDR 4 times, to a republican tax cut and defense build-up grade b movie actor and TV host from Hollywood to be the rhetorical mouthpiece, now union busting, taking the country from less than $1 trillion to $3 trillion in debt, creating the largest debtor nation on earth...had real conservatives up in arms...[it] and not enacting a single real conservative virtue, put the conservative movement on its death bed. It's been nothing but a rhetorical game since.
Would you experts on the right here or should I say, so-called conservative republicans, go to google, or anywhere, show me the period of time, any passed and signed legislation, any true and real adherence since 1968 (Nixon) to the fiscal conservative, real and true law and order, small, govt. diatribe we continually get from the right for those 50 years.
I say you will not find any.
I have an OP inside me I believe that would truly reflect a real conservatism that today, the right would never go for and instead try to claim I would be both ideologically and historically mistaken. Maybe later after a few Corona.
Oh and I couldn't care less about what any righty media personality has to say about another.
