Some Cucks and Mollie Hemingway Discuss Conservatism in the Age of Trump at The Washington Cuckshed
Larry Arnn's piece is okay, Olsen's piece is good, and Antle's piece that the neocon plan -- "Depose Trump and we get our phony-baloney jobs back!" -- is a pipe dream is okay for that point, but it's Mollie Hemingway who brings the hot fire:
MOLLIE HEMINGWAY One of the ways that Vladimir Putin retains power in Russia is to permit a systemic, yet insincere opposition in the legislature. Technically, these individuals are in an opposing party, but they are generally fine with Putin's government. Putin uses them to monitor his opposition and to create an illusion that there's an outlet for contrary opinions. For too long, the conservative movement in Washington, D.C., functioned as the systemic opposition to progressivism's march through American institutions, public and private. Technically, they were opposed, and they'd make some sounds about opposing the growth of the administrative state and the cultural rot. But they were never terribly successful at returning the country to its first principles or constitutional order, despite the millions of supporters who put them in power and expected not just rhetoric but results. Conservatism now is about rejecting this rigged system and taking the risk of working outside of it to advance its principles and policy objectives. The fact that conservatism had become a checklist of watered-down progressive policy prescriptions only served to hasten the demise of the old system. What was conservatism's last great accomplishment? The expansion of Medicare Part D? The failed efforts to spread democracy by force through the Middle East? Wasted years talking about the repeal and replacement of Obamacare? Sitting idly by while Silicon Valley tech oligarchs took control of our discourse and set the parameters for acceptable thoughts and speech? There is a limit to how long people could ride the high of the Reagan years without successive accomplishments. Conservatism today is properly understood as constitutionalism and a revisiting of first principles about securing the blessings of liberty. It's a movement that demands meaningful free-trade agreements instead of just agreements based on the hope that someday China will play fair. It seeks hearty discussions about national sovereignty and meaningful borders. It acknowledges the limits, and costs, of military action. It recognizes that crouching cowardice in the face of cultural losses led the country to its current precipice, where people are terrified to speak freely and speak the truth. And it doesn't care one whit if it has to completely upset the existing political order.#WokeAF The Washington Cuckshed invited five NeverTrumpers to write but only four pro-Trump people, even though 88% of the party supports Trump, because, like their close cousins the liberal media, they never met a panel they didn't want to stack with their fellow travelers.

They just had different goals for the power of the State than Democrats did.
Almost every major Government expansion, happened under a Republican. Dept. of Education actually started under Reagan (although passed under the prior administration). EPA? Nixon. DHS? Bush.
And if Repubs wanted the Consumer Crap to go away? they could have made it go away in the last 2 years when they controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency. They did not.
Judge them by their actions, not their rhetoric.

Noam Chomsky suggested President Donald Trump's dedication to destroying human life was even worse than Adolf Hitler.
The famed political scientist and linguist has described the Republican Party as the most dangerous organization in human history, due to its policies on climate change and nuclear weapons, and he said Trump was single-handedly making the world more dangerous for the human species, reported Democracy Now.

Hemingway's article made me think if there were any conservative
accomplishments . Besides the normal overturning previous Dem
Presidents EOs, I could think of The Mexico City Policy, Sunsetting the
AWB, withdrawing from Kyoto Treaty, withdrawing from ABM Treaty and
tax cuts. Not a whole lot in the big picture.
Posted by: Can't resist temptation at January 02, 2019 03:53 PM (wyeK6)

And now Trump can't even rescind an Obama EO without judges telling him he can't.
As for the rest, it was pretty thin gruel, and most of it required zero action.
Seriously, the Mexico City Policy does what for you? It was nothing more than a sop to the Right to Lifers so they could get on with funding Planned Parenthood.
The AWB sunset on its own, so that's not really a thing, is it? Kyoto could never pass the Senate so pulling out took exactly zero political capital or courage.
The ABM Treaty was with a defunct nation, so again, not a heavy lift there.
And yet, I remember people lauding these pathetic victories back in the day. Hell, I was one of them.
Meanwhile we pissed away lives in winless wars, imported chaos and disease and exported our jobs.
It takes a rare kind of intellect to think that more of the same will be a winning combination.
Which is why I think these guys are being paid off. No one is that stupid.

That is also how the first Republican president described comservativism.
Oddly enough, he had to contend with cucks pretending to True Conservativism as well.
You say you are conservative -- eminently conservative -- while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort. What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried? We stick to, contend for, the identical old policy on the point in controversy which was adopted by "our fathers who framed the Government under which we live;" while you with one accord reject, and scout, and spit upon that old policy, and insist upon substituting something new.

One of the ways that Vladimir Putin retains power in Russia is to permit a systemic, yet insincere opposition in the legislature. Technically, these individuals are in an opposing party, but they are generally fine with Putin's government. Putin uses them to monitor his opposition and to create an illusion that there's an outlet for contrary opinions.
So in other words, the CA GOP for the last 4 decades. They've just taken the concept nationwide.

Interesting how the Left is pro-freedom, pro-safe space and pro-tollerance, as long as you're anti-masculinity, pro-transgender propaganda in public school, activist gay-rights, anti-white, pro-single payor and pro-reparations.
Kind of like the Henry Ford approach to politics. You can choose any color you want, as long as its black.

Noam Chomsky suggested President Donald Trump's dedication to destroying human life was even worse than Adolf Hitler.
And yet by all indications, Chomsky will die a natural death asleep in his bed, free and prosperous, after a long life.
On the other hand, if Chomps had criticized a commie President for being a tyrant, he's have already died in prison, victim of a totally non-suspicious suicide with a Salad-Shooter that he smuggled into his cell.

However, I'm slowing coming around to the realization that the only way we can get true change is to stop voting for the squishes and force the issue. I'm not ready yet to vote for democrats, but not voting for a squish might be one way to get the party started.

That's funny. But it raises the question, why did the lefty linguist, Chomsky, make all these contributions to our understandings of grammar, and Tolkien, also a linguist, waste his time masturbating over hairy hobbit feet? Why do conservatives retreat into fantasy instead of making important contributions to technologies like grammars? Although now I think about it, Lisp is a high level language that predated any of Chomsky's work, so maybe he wasn't that important after all.

Is the proper way to say it "FPC, Mitt Romney", or is is best to say it "Mitt Romney, FPC"?
I want to get this correct, because in the future it will be used a lot. Thanks in advance.

You haven't missed much.
His theory of grammar was centered around the idea that all/most knowledge was innate, and that grammar (linguistic communication) to be a system of rules that one could use to build communication...
Newspeak, in other words. Turned out to be a pile of shiite.

So not that one. I am not chomskying at the bit here, but it seems many of you have read him. If there is an important work I would give it a go just to know more about him than the name and his leftism. If there is nothing of real value, I won't miss it I think.

Transformational grammar was Chomsky's thing, if memory serves. It's a big theory but basically says that grammar is innate and we just learn the surface structure of individual languages. I don't think it's been disproved but it's definitely got holes. Bear in mind that I'm not a linguist, don't play one on TV, your grammar may vary.

More like the guy on the Nevada Gaming Commission that Ace Rothstein comped at the Tangiers. Because in fact, that character in Casino was supposedly based on Reid himself.
I always get a kick out of the fact that Reid was played by a Smothers Brother on film.

It's funny because early Chomsky was all about how power is collected and used against the average person, now he wants the government to take revenge on the average person for "destroying the planet".
Just goes to show you, you can't believe anything a progressive writes won't be modified post hoc as desired.

I don't think the House lost seats b/c voters said 'let's just give
it to the other side'. We lost because there were more of them in those
districts that voted than of us.

In 2016, the state of California made "ballot harvesting" legal. It is NOT legal. It is complete corruption of the secret ballot. The anti-American press will continue to hide this criminal activity, because it benefits their side.
So until a Federal judge declares this unconstitutional, kiss California's House seats good bye forever.

did the lefty linguist, Chomsky, make all these contributions to our
understandings of grammar, and Tolkien, also a linguist, waste his time
masturbating over hairy hobbit feet? Why do conservatives retreat into
fantasy instead of making important contributions to technologies like
grammars? Although now I think about it, Lisp is a high level language
that predated any of Chomsky's work, so maybe he wasn't that important
after all.

Chomsky came up with a big theory that everyone loved and then was proven false.
Tolkien, on the other hand worked on the ORIGINAL Oxford English Dictionary, completely revolutionized the study of historic tales like Beowulf and - in his spare time - created an entire genre of fiction that offers timeless moral tales.
But Chomsky gets quoted by leftist media, so he does have that.

Truly, one of the worst politicians of the 21st Century. Corrupt, lying scumbag with power and large following on the Left. Their support of villains like Reid is what caused me to treat my "friends" of Progressive orientation from arm's length. Realized that only someone that does not believe in or doesn't work on practicing principles like honesty, good faith and fair dealing, intelligence and good will to all men would utter a defense of this scumbag of a human being, let alone vote for him, parrot his lies or actively support him.
Lawyer friend back in the day tells commercial real-estate transaction story re Harry Reid, circa before he was Majority Leader. This dude and his commercial client were trying to get development permits and complete a big real-estate deal in Nevada, and in the mix of trying to secure additional debt and equity funding, were approached by a family member of Harry Reid, asking for a piece of the equity at a price less than the market, and on initial pitch call, Harry Reid helicopters into the conference call and says something like "Just wanted to say how good [So and So] is at getting things done in Nevada and I hope you seriously consider his proposal. I've been reading about your project and and it sounds like a good thing, so good luck to everyone! [said in tone and manner nice as could be, my friend says.]"
