If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I have another, less kind adjective in mind. I know, it's one of those dirty little secrets of american politics that the neocon movement sprang out of american liberalism and, like having a undesireable ancestor, they go to great lengths to hide that fact. Sure, the two branches of the tree have diverged since then - but the key differences between actual conservatives and neocons lie precisely along their liberal tax and spend heritage. The only thing they share with traditional conservatives being social conservatism (which is falling out of favor with non-neocon rightwingers anyway - mostly because the optics on that blow, hard). While they share the fundamental ideological fiscal policies of modern liberals, they apply big government and big taxes to a different group of people and to decidedly different ends. Back in the day, traditional conservatives tried to pull the cat out of the bag on this one..but obviously they failed, the culmination of this bait and switch being the election of Bush the Dumber. @Thump Not really. OFC republicans object to having the feds make a list of citizens names. As you mentioned earlier, that's their entire brand on federal level gun control. Obviously, the "fraud commission" was one toke over the line on this one. What -may- be surprising, to some anyway..is that among those republicans standing up to the request from Kris Kobach...is Kris Kobach. Sure, in a wheedling semi-compliance sort of way, but still..credit where credit is due. That Kobach guy knows what an asshole that Kobach guy is better than most of us.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

BTW, I cannot for the life of me not want to call you by your old handle. Old habits. Yeah that's more or less what I was referring to. Tax-and-spend is hardly a liberal plank, but rather a necessary consequences of providing for the needs of the citizenry. The motivation and goals for T&S with respect to liberals and neocons couldn't be much more different and in my view, it's the motivation and goals that matters. I expect one of the to come along now and insist that neocon trickle-down economic policy is intended to help the common man. It doesn't and isn't intended to. The so-called "job creators" overwhelmingly hoard the savings. That claim is bullshit parroted by useful idiots. As I said, no meaningful similarity. /rant  (July 5, 2017 at 6:16 pm)Minimalist Wrote: Have so far refused to give the WLB non-public voter information. As lopsided as the GOP have created over the past 36 years with it's gerrymandering, it is some comfort to know that even in the deepest red states the orange fuckface is being told to FUCK OFF. |
