RIP McCain

[Anomalocaris]

That's dumb, conservatives want to change a lot about our society.

Going backwards is not an option.  The "good old days" were, A - not that good and B- gone forever.

Your problem is that you cannot see that which is typical of conservatards.

Conservatives are people who pines for a bygone age when what they imagined to be their own kind enjoyed ingrained privileges they did not need to earn by merit, and wishes to undo all the changes which would have put them on a more equal footing that others whom they would wish to continue to enjoy despising.

They can cloak the real reason for their conservativism behind all sorts of reasonable sounding “principles”, but they hold these principle as sacred as any club they can be used to bash other and yet discarded if called to account for their own actions.

As to service to the country, McCain’s grand father was an admiral in charge of the carrier forces under Helsey. He literally worked himself to death during WWII. The man was down to 70lbs by the end of the war, and yet refused to relinquish his post for sick leave. He was finally ordered to go on sick leave just as japan surrendered. He died a few days later.
