Too many have no touchstone for conserving what previous eras held dear - they have been indoctrinated into believing that it has something to do with KKK and neo-Nazism.<br /><br />What they CAN look to is the actual Constitution. Paring down our legal structure to the bare-bones is, as they see it, sensible and 'conservative'.Linda Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024201252345608291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-10152978922537459492017-02-15T20:40:49.263-05:002017-02-15T20:40:49.263-05:00I had to read it twice, cause my brain keeps being...I had to read it twice, cause my brain keeps being revenant when I least expect it. Francis, I think you could have added some facets of the economic dimension in there for a more complete analysis.

I live on the border of libertarianism. I'd move there completely except some tenets are unworkable. Not to mention their candidate selection can bring into question their sincerity and/or intelligence. I don't care that Mr. Johnson smoke(s)d dope as long as he is sober at work. I do care that a candidate for POTUS has less knowledge of world affairs than I do. Don't get me started on the whole eliminating taxes business!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-89792449925380621932017-02-15T14:08:56.313-05:002017-02-15T14:08:56.313-05:00Dystopic, I'm with you brother.Dystopic, I'm with you brother.brinsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-1495825480055983512017-02-15T11:19:21.568-05:002017-02-15T11:19:21.568-05:00I've become a downright radical insurgent cons...I've become a downright radical insurgent conservative in recent years. It's to the point that burn it all down and salt the Earth where its smoking ruins once stood is barely sufficient.<br /><br />The insurgents can be broken down into the burn it down types, and the massive reduction & reform types. Trump is probably the latter, but even that represents radical change that must horrify the institutionalists. What should horrify them more, however, is what will happen if the reformists *fail*.<br /><br />Then they will have to deal with folks like me.Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082153758868357687noreply@blogger.com
