Getting tired of the going back to someone's past to compare what they said then vs what they're saying now as some kind of "gotcha consistency test."
Hopefully people are reading and experiencing and learning during their lives.
If they've changed a "core principle" or two, that's what I'd call a convert. Converts make the most passionate persuaders because they've seen both sides and became convinced enough to switch.
One of my favorite "converts" was Andrew Breitbart.

Personally, I would rather see attention directed to the Iran "agreement" right now. This needs to somehow be stopped dead in its tracks before the Mad Mullahs and their Bosom Pal Choom Boy can do any more damage.
And yes, I believe it could be brought to a screeching halt, even now.

Trump Thought Romney's Idea Of Self-Deportation In 2012 Was Crazy
Meh.
Romney said illegal immigrants should have a chance to obtain citizenship in 2006. Then in 2007 he said that they shouldn't.
I keep hearing about Donald's complete libtardism yet when I ask " oh really , please show me?" I get this weak bullshit.
Or " F**k you c**ks**cker m**f**k*r , only WALKERCRUZFIORINA can save us now and white do you hate brown people?"
TDS is real.

Yes Trump said that about Romney but I think the article is wrong when it says Trump now wants to deport every illegal. He has only said he wanted to deport everyone who had a criminal record. He has avoided discussing what he plans to do with the 'non criminal undocumented aliens' already here though he has indicated that some 'path' is needed.
Of course he could turn on a dime so what he says today may not be his position tomorrow.

Walker has one chance to push himself to the front (adopting the Trump on immigration is nice but not enough): He has to pick a fight with the deep blue bureaucrats in WI.
He needs to personally call for the criminal investigation and prosecution of all of those involved in the John Doe persecution.
It was his fight with them that brought him to the national stage and that is the only card he has.
That he is sitting on his hands regarding that abuse of power tells me he is not qualified to be President--where he'll be head of multiple far more virulent and dangerous (to ordinary Americans) agencies.
Until he does, to all you pushing Walker: HE WILL NOT CHANGE A DAMNED THING IN DC.

The problem with fools like Jay Caruso is that he thinks he's smarter than everyone else.
Listen up, Jay, the reason Republicans lose is because you seem to think people don't know the fix is already in.
We know Trump is not going to be nominated. That's going to be Jeb!'s job, or if Jeb! steps on his on weenie, they have another Gope waiting to take his place. Rubio or God forbid, Chrispy.
Gope is the reason you lose, loser. Calling Trump and his supporters names is, as you suggest, irrelevant to that fact. It's incidental, but you'll keep doing it anyway, because you think you're clever.
You. Are. Not.

I love watching the spittle fly out of the mouths of establishment GrOPers like Jar Caruso, who still cannot comprehend why voters are rejecting a GOP establishment that supports Obamacare, Obamatrade, and executive amnesty.

For the future of post-Ferguson policing, see the UK, especially the Rotherham scandal. In that perverse universe, it's better to let an outrage go on than be accused of racism
And Sweden's rape jihad, where 99% of rapes are committed by immigrants (wink, wink).
________________
That's already going on here. The MSM never report facts about illegal alien crimes. Nationwide, illegal aliens account for 37% of all the murders in the U.S., even though illegal aliens are supposed to be less than 5% of the total U.S. population. In Florida between 2009 - 2014, illegal aliens accounted for a full 40% of all murder convictions in the state.
But shhhhhhh. We must not talk about illegal aliens' propensity for committing violent crimes at rates hugely disproportionate to their representation in the population. It might hurt some foreign criminal's feelings. Or it might be construed as raaaaaacist. Or some billionaire business owner might worry that it will lead to reducing his ability to get unlimited numbers of cheaper foreign workers.

Eh, I remember a lot of pixels spent on Todd Akin and that "I am not a witch" candidate.
Regarding changing views on an issue - I would think that Obama has been so polarizing, and so bad, that a lot of people have moved further to the right than they were even 6 years ago. A perfect example is with SSM, where a lot of "live and let live" conservatives/Christians weren't all that concerned about it/resistant too it until the SJWs/MSM/Dem politicians started all of their witchhunts against anyone who did not embrace it enthusiastically.

I had a conversation w/a former state-level congressman, pretty well known locally, we were talking about the destruction of the coal industry. then he dropped this in:
"You know what they're [the government] is going after next? Meat."
It appears he was correct. Farm animals are a large source of methane no?

Billionaire investor George Soros has opened new equity stakes in Peabody Energy Corp. and Arch Coal Inc., the country's top two coal producers, according to a Form 13F-HR filed Aug. 14.
Soros acquired more than 1 million shares of Peabody and 553,200 shares of Arch in the second quarter, according to the filing. He reported no other coal holdings in the period.
Soros makes investments through his Soros Fund Management LLC fund. Soros' holdings may have changed significantly since the end of the second quarter ended June 30.
Soros last invested in the coal sector in 2014 when he opened a large stake in coal and gas producer CONSOL Energy Inc., but he later liquidated it.
Both Peabody and Arch have seen their market values plummet amid extremely difficult operating conditions for domestic producers caused by competition from cheap natural gas, new environmental regulations and a slowing export market.
... and a big shout out to President Barack Obama .. without his "War on Coal", George Soros could never have bought it so low.

The weird thing is, I think most of the support for Trump is simply because he's the F-U candidate. It's a sign of the crumbling of the GOP that many in the base are taking jackhammers to the foundations of the party just to spite the leaders. Burn, scatter, salt, as AllenG says.

>>Jeffrey Blehar is an elections analyst at the Ace of Spades HQ DecisionDesk and an attorney in Chicago.<<
And also apt to writing comparative analogies that in reality have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
Methinks the "purity" clause is well over estimated and people are just fed up with the cowardly mendacity of the party. People are also disgusted with the politically correct, vapid notions on an entire class who puts pathos arguments about people who are no citizens above the needs of the people who elected them. People who are a a majority of the electorate they need...or should I say previously used like a napkin.
Trump is of course the furthest one can get from a "socialist". He's also not an ideological purist. Does that means it's "reasonable" to support him? Well, no it's not. But the people who are "sane" are telling us to support Bush. Yes, of course another tired, worn politician who looks like a lite version of the opposition that is destroying the country. That should stack up well against the, er, tired worn corrupt politician that is the Democrats likely nominee.
Enjoy the fucking ride. Because all those "crazy" people are driving the bus and calling then pejoratives just puts gas in the tank.

For me, the biggest knock on Cruz -- yes, even worse than his love for illegals and H1-Bs -- is his pathetic performance in the Senate.
When it came time to vote on Choom Boy's Super-Secret Trade Bill, he was off fund-raising. When Corker's little slice of treason came up for a vote, he was silent.
That's enough to scratch him off the list, IMO. And he is, supposedly, one of the best candidates in the field.

Sigh. Well, at least I know who the GOPe's backup plan is now.
I did think it was fishy when Kasich got the question in the debate that let him go all squishy on gays.

If the GOP is chaffed, they should blame themselves.
How'd all that "the Tea Party is crazy, a majority of people are unreasonable, we are putting Washington back to work (haha), a small vocal majority opposes immigration, we are only two-thirds of the government, we have to work with the president, we are surrendering Congresses powers to the executive, we don't know what happened on the Iran deal (right), people won't notice the "sausage making" of Congress bullshit work out?

One of my favorite "converts" was Andrew Breitbart.
Posted by: parteagirl at August 18, 2015 09:18 AM (K0jlM)
There's long been a saying in religious matters that there's no believers like a convert. My parents were Reagan Democrats, they cast their first votes as Republicans for him, and I was raised with Limbaugh on the radio on the drive home from school. I was turned into a headful of mush by the public school system, and only regained my reason when someone handed me a copy of the US Constitution and the Declaration on flag day when I was in college.
I read the whole thing from cover to cover. The Declaration was its usual "America F-yeah! experience that I always remembered. But the Constitution was unfamiliar territory. That got amended, and that got amended, and wait a minute... WAIT A DAMNED MINUTE, it says right here that the government can't do things that aren't in the document, WTF?
That was the moment the Tea Party was born, in my mind. Probably 3-4 years before I actually joined in the raucous first-minute postings following Santelli's Speech Heard Round The World and began (as many others did) associating his message with a return to the Constitution as the best means of preventing such abuses.

But go on, sidle up to the ol' John McCain Wing*, call them whack-o birds, insult them and mock them--that'll drive 'em to the polls for the GOP in 2016.
*Remember oh not so long ago when Trump's attack on McCain was the "and now Trump's campaign has crashed and burned to the ground for sure." Which crash and burn moment are we on now? 6th? 7th?

Honestly,I have never really read up much about Trump and didn't care to. He was that guy on that tvshow that I don't watch.
He has made some smart sales moves and made some pretty good noises . I have no idea how he would govern or even if he is another FRED! with no real sustained interest in campaigning.
I really hate being told by cult of personality worshippers and establishment assholes how stupid I am for asking questions and trying to get information on this guy.
The reactions are ridiculous. I can only guess that their fear of losing a vote from "their guy" is motivating this level of retardation.

Inaugurating the 4-day gathering, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned that enemy is seeking to create divisions in the region and portray Islam as the religion of violence and extremism, urging resistance against such plots.
"The enemy intends to turn the religion of morality and brotherhood into a religion of violence, extremism, killing, discord and rift and we should stand up to such deviation and distortion," Rouhani told the participants, Press TV reported.
"We should not allow enemies to use terrorist groups to portray the religion of Islam... as the religion of killing, violence and destruction," he noted.
He said all Muslims should remain united to thwart the plot and illustrate Islam as the religion of peace.

And just to remind: Romney's "self-deportation" comment was the 2nd biggest reason he lost the Hispanic vote.
The 1st was his utter refusal to do ANY Spanish-language advertising or appearances.
That allowed Obama a free hand to run with the self-deportation comment and twist it into "deportation of any and all Hispanics who were not born here to American citizens."
So yes, it's good that Trump is on record as opposing the "self-deportation." Because, for huge chunks of Hispanics, that's all they know about Republicans.

Plus he looks like he's very sensitive to latinos with his 12 comments. Gives all pundits splodey heads.
But his official policy is clear, in writing, is sessions, and he's been pounding the drum day one on illegal immigration.

And, well, maybe he is just a canny media personality who's realized that there's a disenfranchised movement he can ride into the Presidency. If he wants to win a second term, he'll have to deliver the goods or his disenfranchised support will evaporate back to whence it came.
Maybe he intends to get his face on Rushmore some day? He's a big self-promoter like that, and I can't see him not wanting to put his name and/or image on something big. But you have to be yuuge to get there, and giving people a lot of what they want when their politicians are re-enacting the stabbing scene from Julius Caesar on them is the meal ticket.

There's long been a saying in religious matters that there's no believers like a convert. My parents were Reagan Democrats, they cast their first votes as Republicans for him, and I was raised with Limbaugh on the radio on the drive home from school. I was turned into a headful of mush by the public school system, and only regained my reason when someone handed me a copy of the US Constitution and the Declaration on flag day when I was in college.
I read the whole thing from cover to cover. The Declaration was its usual "America F-yeah! experience that I always remembered. But the Constitution was unfamiliar territory. That got amended, and that got amended, and wait a minute... WAIT A DAMNED MINUTE, it says right here that the government can't do things that aren't in the document, WTF?
That was the moment the Tea Party was born, in my mind. Probably 3-4 years before I actually joined in the raucous first-minute postings following Santelli's Speech Heard Round The World and began (as many others did) associating his message with a return to the Constitution as the best means of preventing such abuses.

We should have absolutely no expectation that Iran, under its current "leadership," will ever take its place among rational, cooperative nations. I don't believe any Muzzie country is capable of that.
Imagine, for example, what effect a well-aimed bomb or bullet sent off in Herr Schicklgruber's direction would have had on History.
As for Israel's placement on your list, I'm guessing I place it higher. But it is at least a democratic country that does not go around making war on everyone else who doesn't buy its religious act.

The thing is, no one enjoys manual labor, or cleaning out septic tanks or cleaning hotel rooms or whatever... but supply and demand means you can make more money doing that then say, flipping burgers at McDonalds.
Thus, people do it.

The US DOL approved half a million jobs - 'highly, skilled, technical jobs' for H1b visas
500,000 jobs. While Americans are receiving unemployment checks or have just given up hope on jobs.
But definitely tell your kid to get into a STEM program and bust his ass so that he can compete with Hajji who will take the job at half the salary.
Cruz wants to increase H1bs. I have a problem with that.

Jay Caruso appears to have the same affliction as Ace.
It seems democrat-turned-conservative writers have a preconceived idea of what a politician should look and act like, and anything outside of that mold is simply unacceptable.
Somehow during the conversion process, writers who become conservative form the belief that people who train to be politicians and who adopt a low keyed doublespeak language are magically endowed with a form of genius to come up with answers to problems.
This genius only occurs if the politician fits the writer's idea of what a politician looks and sounds like.
Add the wrong accent/tone or looks and suddenly the genius becomes a clown.
Jay Caruso seems to fall in the middle of the scale of this type of writer, with Ace more toward the bottom and closer to the people and Charles C.W. Cooke up at 11, as a totally insufferable twit.
It's their mission in life to save conservatives from false prophets like Trump and Palin, who would take the right off in embarrassing directions.
Nowhere in their calculations of true conservatives does the question of actually getting something done come up. If the ideology is right, it doesn't matter that nothing will change.

Good points, but since Iraq where Iran was involved in supporting the insurgency, what should we bomb them over? I think economic sanctions seems more appropriate for Iran.

Like atc said, he's been running for president since he was 12. Which is beyond bizarre to me, personally, but whatever.
He's trying to focus group and poll his way in to finding a niche and a path to the nomination.
Nothing super against him, but I wouldn't have any real high hopes that a politician is going to fix / change anything.
Nor would I have high hopes that a blustering YUGGGEE wildly successful, incredibly smart businessman would do anything either.

As far as the Cop thing goes, I don't blame Ferguson, I blame Radley Balko and Company.
Seriously, I used to like Balko, but then Ferguson happened and I realized his critiques of the police may be accurate, but he has no plan on how to solve it besides the hopes, dreams and unicorn farts of "community policing."
Which seems to (based on his WaPo articles) mostly involve talking with people a lot.
His examples of how it works are all amazingly focused on the Occupooper movement and how well it works among the white trust fund hipster class.
I'm convinced we can't have a conversation about it anymore. I think we swing too far towards cop safety in some respects, but now we're going to swing back in the complete opposite direction.
Thanks dickwads.

It's all a matter of individual perception and who you're rooting for, isn't?
I saw this as Cruz jumping up and whining "Waaaaah! Mean ol' Mitch bamboozled me! He flummoxed and flim-flammed me! Mommy, make him STOP!"
So, to me, it is established his bona fides as a wannabe insider who hasn't yet polished his act enough to be fully accepted by the GOPe.
We are probably both partially right. I suspect you won't agree with that conclusion.

Right. And it's funny because ace (pbuh) wrote a fairly insightful post a few weeks back about class differences (ace, of course, claimed to be a man of no class) and yet he doesn't seem to realize his class prejudices make him look down on people like Palin or Trump because they do not use the right social indicators.
But most of the country does not use the "right social indicators" it's really a small group on the left coast, and a minority in the acela corridor.
Yet somehow every politician, journalist, and general "serious person" must take on the upper-middle-class-suburbs ethos and bland corporate personality combined with cheesy car salesmen's doublespeak and selling techniques.
...and they wonder why so many people hate politicians.

The article in question lumps Cruz in with The Petulants which is described as "political outsiders whose inexperience and outrageous comments are selling points; Carson and Trump were leading examples, with Fiorina and Cruz sharing some aspects".
I'm sorry but one of those things is dramatically not like the others. As I said, I like Cruz, I do indeed. But he's not an outsider with inexperience. Rather the opposite indeed. The only characteristic that Cruz can potentially be claimed to share with that group is a penchant for outrageous comments. Then again, I don't consider calling McConnell a liar to be outrageous.
I should note that the next group is The Insurgents described as "outsiders inside the political system, like Rand Paul and Scott Walker, and to an extent Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal".
The author's own categories do not hold. After all, Rand Paul has said far more outrageous things than Cruz and Rand Paul has less actual political experience than Ted Cruz.
I found that article both tendentious and tedious and, frankly, intellectually incoherent. It was disappointing because there was the possibility of good analysis but, sadly, such possibility was not reached.

On the other side, of course, are the Sharpton-esque race-bating assholes of the world who rush in to agitate, inflame and profit rather than try to solve problems. At this point, I say a plague on both their houses.

One has to wonder why the GOPe is so bent out of shape about why people are supporting a supposed progressive liberal (Trump) for President.
If this were august of next year, I could see them being upset but we've got months before the primary and a year before the nomination is secured. So what's the problem?
The problem is that they're favorite; Jebby with the back up band of Rubio and Kasich on stage is taking it in the shorts.
Forget why that is and how valid that position is, it's Trump they're concerned about because they can "fix" Jebs low numbers later but not if Trump keeps the lead and actually wins some primaries. That would be the death knell because then to get who they want as nominee, they'd have to cheat and steal and broker the convention a task fraught with pitfalls and exposure.
That's why the onslaught of critics, naysayers and outright insult comics telling us how bad and stupid we are for supporting Trump.
They try rational arguments (except ones that would work), they insult us they demonize Trump and try to claim he's a Trojan horse that will lead us to slaughter. But that's only if we vote for him in the primaries and those aren't here yet. So there must be some other driving reason why he must be thwarted NOW.
He's also causing the other candidates to enhance their positions on immigration and taking some other pages from his book and it's mostly been at the expense of the heir apparent Jebby.
If Jebby can't muster up some better numbers in the next 3 months, he just might be left at the gate come February. And he's doing better than his buddies so if he falls, so will they probably. And for the same reasons.
Then what moderate CoC obedient candidate can they try to foist on us then? (a la Romney)
I'm waiting for some Trumped up (heh) charges or scandals to start hitting harder and harder over the next 3 months.
They're desperate. And you know what they say about a cornered rat.

So you are saying "So Trump will sell us out too, but so will the other candidates." That's true, but in that case why are people acting like Trump is the second coming?
I understand very well the anger and desire to stick it to the GOPe, but "I don't really care about his stance on Obamacare or abortion or the fact that he brags about his own crony capitalism - he makes Boehner and George Will mad and that's good enough for me!" - well, that's not good enough for me. The leftists are supposedly the emotion-driven voters, but Trump demonstrates that many conservatives are also permitting what feels good to trump (pardon me) basic logic.

Hillary?

And hopefully alexthechick will not be bothered if I partially repost this pitch perfect summary from yesterday:
...
I think it will play quite well indeed. Why? Because people are
sick of being told it's racist to be angry when those who come to this
country refuse to learn any English at all and then those people get mad
at US citizens for not knowing Spanish.
Because the H1B visa matter is a middle to upper middle class issue
for people (men) who played by the rules and got the STEM degree and
gave up being home with the family to get ahead only to have to train
their own replacements who do the job for half the pay and a tenth of
the competence.
Because parents (mothers) know all about how Mexican Polio is in our schools.
There's a very large undercurrent of hey I am upset about this and
I'm sick of being told that I just have to put up with not being able to
go to WalMart on Saturday if I don't want to feel like I've been
dropped in the middle of South America.
Again, that's just a wag, so I will try not to be overly emotionally
invested when all y'all attempt to contradict me and prove how wrong
you are.
...
How the hell has a candidate not snatched you up as a campaign advisor yet?

At any rate, if Trump can inspire any of the other GOP candidates to take a good look at the frustration the base is feeling and address that rather than ignore it, then I'm glad he's in the mix. I really don't want to battle with other members of the Horde over Trump, although I think he's the wrong person to pin conservative hopes to.

>>Or how about, "jobs Americans won't do for slave wages and no benefits while living with 30 other people in a 2-bedroom house."
I think part of the problem is that minimum wage can't compete with what one can "earn" via the various entitlements - welfare, snap, obamaphones, etc.. I don't think the solution is to raise minimum wage.
Another problem is that most minimum wage jobs are transitional jobs - the first job one gets that can lead to promotions that pay more. If you're not willing to start at the bottom (which in some cases is necessary if you're education and work experience is lacking) then you will miss out on opportunities to succeed, be promoted, become a better candidate for a better job elsewhere, etc.
It seems it not just a wage issue, it's a cultural issue where some people are no longer willing to take that first step, maybe because of their attitude or competing factors like entitlements.

At the risk of alienating myself, I'm going to say something daring. Maybe we need to ditch the Conservative label. It's not who we are. While we do stand for traditional values, we do not stand for traditional politics or policies. We don't fit the traditional "wing" spectrum. Let's stop letting long-dead French movements define us. We're still radicals, we're still in our hearts the same revolutionaries who gave birth to the most successful and dynamic nation in history.
As Ronald Reagan himself said, our idea is the newest in all of man's relation to man, that people could govern themselves without an elite making all of their choices for them. The other side? It's offering the same old thing that's been packaged under a million different brands, a central elite with all of the power, making all of the decisions for everybody else.
They're the Conservatives, not us. And it is the fate of the conservative to be dragged kicking and screaming into a future they don't want. The Left/Right dynamic in this country is a horrible injustice of mislabeling. We're Classical Liberals, we haven't changed and neither have they, just as 1/3 of the USA considered themselves loyal Tories after the Revolution, they're still Monarchists, they just believe that the crown should be on their heads instead of some distant King's.

I announce special offer for all of our leader Mr Trump's friends.
We have discovered a huge, $10 Billion airbag that can be inflated and sold to people around the world for many many times the value of the air bag.
The only problem is the air bag is trapped by a government agency and can only be used if we can deposit funds into the agency's bank account.
So dear friend, I ask you to send us your bank information, we will deposit the funds in your account, you only need to send us a small deposit to secure your money. Please to be contacting me immediately.
Your Humble Servant, The Prince.

Author of WITH CHARITY FOR ALL and former CEO of National Public Radio, Ken Stern's REPUBLICAN LIKE ME, an account of his personal journey as a bred-to-be-blue Democrat diving deep into the heart of conservatism, attending right wing conferences, spending time in red voting districts, tuning into conservative media, and talking to Republicans of all stripes, as part of his year-long experiment in political tolerance, to Adam Bellow at Harper, at auction, by Gillian MacKenzie at the Gillian MacKenzie Agency (world).

THIS TIME THERE WILL BE MORE! THERE WILL!
*frantically clicks more*
(If you haven't read it, shame on you - http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2010/02/heart-of-redness.html )
By the insanity of cthulhu, seriously, I am doing all the wrong things with my life.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go pitch my book on my mumblety year performance art project as a Fifth Wave Intersectional Feminist masquerading as a libertarian.

I'm not defending the Reason article. More and more they seem like a High School political club.
But Cruz certainly is an outsider. Perhaps "anti-establishment" is a better term? That's one of the big reasons I am willing to entertain the notion of a President Cruz.
Admit it....everyone would like this in the White House:

Perhaps there was a clue to0 be found that would have let people know they were nothing more than hookers looking for the right "John."

Yeah, I've wanted to ditch the left / right thing a lonnng time ago.
It's way too simplistic, and allows the media to brand us as "right wing reactionaries" when in reality we're the revolutionaries. Free markets and self governance is the most revolutionary idea in the history of political and economic theory and yet we're "conservatives" and the statists who want a big, all encompassing government (a flavor of the big all encompassing governments that have always existed since civilization crawled out of the tigris and euphratis rivers) are the "liberals" and "progressives"?
C'mon now.

I think Trump is a larger than life figure. And he's a prototypical "Ametica, f- yeah!" symbol.
People are responding to that.
The vitriol from supporters of other candidates is in part because tgey realize that their candidate simply can't compete with "mystique." In a way it's unfair. That makes yhem bitter.
What anti-Trumpers should understand is that people think asking Trump to be forced out is also unfair. Why should he be forced out just because he's yuuuge? Attacking him rather thsn letting the voters decide will just push more people to support him.

I've started wondering that. An economic slow roll into crony capitalism/fascism with most people on welfare with free cable voting for uniparty politicians might happen, except...
The US isn't a closed system, and I think the global economy isn't far from serious problems. If it crosses the tipping point, the BEST outcome would be the Greater Depression, which would probably be accompanied by real vilolence this time, and the worst is a Mad Max/Walking Dead/cannibalistic post-apocalyptic horror.

The GOP can't bring itself to examine why very few people are buying what it is selling. Until it makes that leap, it's dead in the water.

No, i think it's truly the case that upper middle class white progressives in their gated communities can't ever imagine them or their kids picking fruit or cleaning septic tanks or insulating attics or mowing yards, and that it's an underlying racial / class thing.
If I were a Mexican national working in the US, I'd be beyond offended that people thought I was doing a "job that Americans won't do", because they must think I'm an inferior person if I'm willing to collect garbage, but their little snowflakes would rather die then ever do anything as demeaning as manual labor.
I think there is a large cohort of people who think that way and mindlessly repeat "jobs americans wont do" and it makes sense to them because they think mexican/central american / south american people are racially inferior and thus more willing to do the dirty work.
Eugenics never died out in the progressive movement. They just couch it in euphemism and vague newspeak terms now.

If that NPR fellow really wanted to understand conservatives he could have done two things:
A. Listen to Rush Limbaugh daily (even an hour a day over time would work). Even if you don't agree with him, a lot of what he says makes sense, and damn does he do his homework.
B. Read the bible - the whole thing.
I've read several conservative conversion stories where all it took was reading the bible to clear away all the crap they've heard about religion, and religious-based conservative values from the media, academia, etc. Prof. Mike Adams is a perfect example of this..

============
More and more the GOP "Big Tent" looks like "Only Democrats Need Apply."
Seriously.
Name one fucking outreach plan the GOP has come up with in the last 15 years that wouldn't fit word for word on the planks of the Democrat Party.
Reach out to the Hispanics.
Reach out to the gays.
Reach out to the teachers unions. (NCLB)
Reach out to government-dependent retirees. (Med part D)
And on and on.
But they'll talk a big fucking game about the middle class.

Trump will throw blacks some scaps to keep them quit. But their days of bullying whites are over. We are stuck with the blacks sasly because we were too lazy to pick our cotton.
The real enemies of white America are the invaders from the south, the yellow people and dot heads. These groups are stealing our jobs and marrying our offsprings. We must preserve the white race in America.

Frankly I can handle being an unperson. That's just another day in the academy.
(Oh BTW, the rumor of our random investigation is that it was basically a distraught recent graduate who decided that filing a complaint might bring "closure" So basically revenge.)
Anyway, "unperson" is a state of being for me. Experiment not so much.
Reminds me of my med school application days. You score high enough on the MCAT people interview you just to see what you look like with no intention of accepting you.
My undergraduate institution did that, and later admitted to me that was the only reason they interviewed me.
Since I knew I was done anyway I scoffed at the vice dean "you didn't have to make me put on a suit to look at me, if you wanted to study me, you could have just told me that and I'd have taken the shuttle over so you could gawk without the whole interview process."

On the rare occasion where I've argued politics with the crazy liberals who (used to, not so much since I moved) surround me, I've routinely had my intelligence questioned instead of any response to anything I said.
"I think history proves that lower tax rates lead to greater prosperity..."
"Are you really that stupid, or has Rush Limbaugh just been brainwashing you?!?!? You can't possibly believe those mouth breathing tea baggers on TV can you? Man, I thought you were smarter than that! You really need to educate yourself and stop being so ignorant"
Totally unproductive. And being lectured on intelligence by absolute idiots just makes me want to give them the finger and walk away.

One of my teachers (who was a good teacher because I had no idea what his political beliefs were - he was that even-handed) explained the difference between conservative and reaction by saying that conservatives are not anti-change - they are anti-rapid, sweeping, revolutionary changes(because with the pretty big exceptions of the American revolution and the Velvet Revolution that peacefully separated the Czechs and the Slovaks, most revolutions end in terror and tears.)
Conservatives is not to be confused with reactionaries. The 19th century Luddites and present day environmentalists are good examples of reactionaries, although the bunny-huggers call themselves progressives. They want to return humankind to pre-Industrial Revolution days.
I'm comfortable being categorized as a conservative. The ones who are misnamed are the illiberal liberals, the progressives who are actually reactionaries - bitterly clinging to discredited Marxist-Leninist theories.

DC Whispers, the site that has predicted so much of what is going on, has shown that Trump's appeal to minorities is beyond what anyone has seen.
Trump is literally doing what gope has bitched about, appealing to minorities. So, instead of being some type of white power candidate, trump is appealing to blacks and latinos miles ahead of anything ever seen and this momentum is GROWING.
Internal pollsters are murmuring LANDSLIDE.
If anyone is disgustingly racist it is the gope media.

Progressivism has a LARGE dosage of absolute eugenics-style racism baked in to the cake, and has since day 1.
Most of their "core values" started from the assumption of inferior and superior races.
And honestly if you talk to a progressive, with their guard down (as in: they think you're one of them), maybe with a few drinks in them, they will go on racist rants and tears (couched in euphemisms of course) that would make KKK Kleagle Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) blush.
And the REASON they "know" all conservatives are racist is because "we all know black people are not smart enough to survive on their own. So if conservatives want to cut off welfare, they're basically saying they want all black people to die."
And I've had dozens of liberals say some variation of that to me over the years. And I never get why that underlying assumption is not broadcast more openly and more publicly by people on our side of the aisle. I promise I'm not the only person who is surrounded by liberals who has heard variations of that argument from "good compassionate liberals" lips multiple times.

BC and I finally got around to podcasting again. I blame everyone but me for the recent lack thereof.

I am pro White American not a.Moby. Why are you ashamed of PTO white views? Trump will make sure we are taken care of.
Posted by: Go Trump! at August 18, 2015 10:49 AM (PegkE)
Yawn.
Go back to demunderground or stormfront or wherever it is you trolls hang out.
And really, if you want to be a successful Moby you need to try a little harder. The key is to say something non controversial, get going back and forth, THEN drop whatever your troll masters want you to drop in the conversation.
If you do it right up front, well, it's wayy too obvious.
I'm sure they teach this in troll school, no?

Exactly. There's a certain point where we may just
have to admit that we've become two separate peoples and ought to go our
own way. The problem is that the Left are narcissistic megalomaniacs
with a Pharisee's ill-gotten pride, and will never agree to such a
thing.

You PC types deriding my pro white views will end up benefiting from Trump's policies. Whites in America will have good jobs again. The government will pay for our healthcare and make sure we get a living wage. Our kids will not be tempted to interbreed with inferior 3rd world vermin. Blacks will be put back in their place.
Trump will make America great again!

"Jobs Americans won't do."
I, a man with a doctorate, have done nearly all of those jobs.
Insulated attics.
Dug ditches.
Roofed.
Sheetrocked.
Shoveled shit.
Milked cows (and nearly every other job related to farming)
And a whole lot of other dirty jobs.
And I am not ashamed.
It was a paycheck and I was happy to have the money.
What will the TDS suffers do when (and you know it's coming) Trump meets with Mike Rowe?
Oh, the howling, oh the anger, oh the lamentations!!!

I'm watching this and I'm detecting a change in tone.
I think the gope is realizing that 1) trump could win; or 2) if they burn the guy and he walks they cannot win.
So it feels like they're pulling back from their peak TDS so the $$ keeps flowing to them.
That's ok though, they have been exposed and it's soooooo refreshing. I'll start by looking at you, fox news.

Exactly! It's easy to tell who the dipshit is because he's too stupid to know he always sounds the same.
What a loser!

Trump is wiining blacks and minorities at a rate never seen and this report is GROWING.
See latest DC Whispers report.
I would think this would be a hot topic for discussion, no?

I'm a Technician in IT.
I've cleaned public restrooms, shoveled shit, done disaster recovery, worked as a cashier in a gas station in one of the worst neighborhoods in FL, worked as a stocker, worked in a warehouse, and worked as a line cook.
There is no such thing as a job an American won't do. There's only jobs that Americans won't do for the wages that the crony class offers. Hence why they want to import illegals. Make it impossible for immigrants to undercut American workers, and wages will have to adjust to reasonable levels. Guess what? You'll see Americans doing those jobs again...

If welfare didn't pay so well, people would be amazed at what kind of jobs Americans are willing to do.

Just read the linked article:
"Telling The Truth About Trump Is Not Why We Lose"
So thanks for wasting my time. Caruso sounds like a "mean girl", hurling obnoxious insults, with nothing to back anything up. I'm not even sure what his point was - it just seems like venting - which he's going to be doing a lot of, if he never even makes his argument.

#92, we could not do a Linebacker II style campaign if we wanted to. The aircraft no longer exist. I would be curious to know if the amount of ordnance still exists. All the 52 D models that were optimized for conventional bomb carry are scrap or display pieces. We have two small wings of H models left. Those are nuclear cruise missile carriers without the racks to carry a bazillion dumb bombs like the Ds.

At the risk of alienating myself, I'm going to say something daring. Maybe we need to ditch the Conservative label. It's not who we are. While we do stand for traditional values, we do not stand for traditional politics or policies. We don't fit the traditional "wing" spectrum. Let's stop letting long-dead French movements define us. We're still radicals, we're still in our hearts the same revolutionaries who gave birth to the most successful and dynamic nation in history.
As Ronald Reagan himself said, our idea is the newest in all of man's relation to man, that people could govern themselves without an elite making all of their choices for them. The other side? It's offering the same old thing that's been packaged under a million different brands, a central elite with all of the power, making all of the decisions for everybody else.
They're the Conservatives, not us. And it is the fate of the conservative to be dragged kicking and screaming into a future they don't want. The Left/Right dynamic in this country is a horrible injustice of mislabeling. We're Classical Liberals, we haven't changed and neither have they, just as 1/3 of the USA considered themselves loyal Tories after the Revolution, they're still Monarchists, they just believe that the crown should be on their heads instead of some distant King's.

^^THIS. Well said.
I made a similar point at Neo-neocon recently. The word "conservative" has become a lazy placeholder for concepts like limited Constitutional government, the rule of law, and free-market capitalism. I think it's mistaken to assume that everybody knows that. They don't. I would rather see candidates discussing those specific concepts and explaining them to voters, rather than arguing over who is more "conservative".
