Faramir Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Mine are Winston Churchill, and Ayn Rand. Churchill wrote that socialism is the philosophy of envy. He had a negative view on any philosophy than involved the looting (not his word) of society. Ayn Rand of course wrote extensively on "looting". She didn't ever call herself conservative, but she fully rejected Libertarianism which I do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardner Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Folks, even if you want to do NOT cite me here. I don't think that it makes for balanced dialogue on here if one member is called out in this way. I appreciate your kind words and DMs, but let's keep it at that. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infidel Dog Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Mine are more contemporary than Churchill but I haven't really advanced to the point I can appreciate whatever branch of Conservatism Mikey is supposed to be. By "mentor" though I'm going to assume you mean the thinkers who influenced my thinking when I started to realize I was a Conservative. So I'm going to say, Andrew Breitbart and Bill Whittle.

Nationalist Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I slid to conservative views on my own, when I realized the Libbies were actively trying to rob North America of the affluent society we've built...in the name of fairness, feelings, and of course...money and power.

eyeball Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 It seems I'm assuming the role of 'conservative mentor' in my family. I think it might have something to do with being the best papa in the world. I've got a sweatshirt that says so too. Front AND back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
