Seriously? I've been a conservative on this site for sixteen years now. Thomas Sowell is 90 and has been a conservative all his life? Glen Loury and John McWhorter aren't conservatives? Coleman Hughes isn't a conservative? Nor Larry Elder? These are all black American intellectuals and none of them have any time for your religiously inspired identity politics. Yes, to the far Left a conservative is one who never acts like a conservative. That just shows the depths of intolerance and hate they hold for anyone who has views to their right.

The liberals and business types United, years ago But you'd never know it happened From the fighting to and fro See it wasn't as John Lennon sang 'Imagine', no - no ma'am It was because some business folks Built some factories in Vietnam It drove the price of jeans down And helped the Vietnamese The stock market went crazy And everyone was pleased Until the laid off factory folk In small towns everywhere We're roiled that their old lifestyle Had vanished in the air Those leaders then remembered That workers votes still count They blamed the loss on foreigners And that's the current account

Fahrenheit 451

The cause has already been lost in nations that have so called "hate speech" laws and tribunals. Liberalism dies by a thousand cuts.

The leftist dolts want increased testing, and then when you do increased testing it looks like a bazillion people have covid, then they freak out that there are a lot of cases. Over 99% of the infected people survive. Partying shouldn't be allowed but looting should, right? As per the Obamas and CNN?

Moralic acid dissolves society so we need a moralic catalyst that binds it together instead. I've suggested an end to official secrecy in the public's domain but apparently that makes me a commie/fascist/authoritarian who is lying that actually wants to increase secrecy in the public domain. This isn't just simple mischaracterization it's a stupid wilful determination to be contrary for the sake of contrariness. I don't know, maybe if I was an overtly obvious conservative that was pushing this idea it would get more traction. One of the most overtly conservative people I know who ran for municipal office hereabouts campaigned on the idea. He lost but not by much. We disagree on virtually everything else and I'd vote for him if I could but I live outside the municipality so...

Yes, my point exactly. It's all just a big misunderstanding!!!

"Sir! Protesters and rioters are burning down the city." "Is their movement growing in popularity?" "Yes!" "Tell them I'm on their side. We need the votes!" - Democrazy

I admit to having anti-globalist notions but that doesn't make me anything like what you describe above. And at first I thought you were talking about liberals. Replace "conservatives" above with that, it still works. Same goes for outright painting everyone on the other side the same colour. You're a right winger? So you're a fascist, a racist, misogynist climate denier and virus spreader. You people are a joke. Pot, meet thy sanctimonious kettle...

I back up many of my posts with links when I use a quote, in my opinion more so than many other members here. Many do not bother with it and sometimes I don't either. But when I don't, am more than happy to provide it if someone asks. If they ask, not if they essentially call me a lying asshole, then ask. Then they come across like they meant to have a real point, when it's easy to pretend and do that anytime, use it as a vehicle for spewing inane invectives.

Just as you consider it impossible to consider there might be progressives who don't give a shit. This is what you should expect from an ideology that maintains virtually everyone to their left is a communist. Conservatives need to come up with something better than knee-jerk characterizations to argue against progressives.

Dual citizenships should be banned the world over. Nothing to do with xenophobia but sheer practicality.
