Era Might Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 My knowledge of conservative principles is hardly restricted to talk radio guys. I've read plenty of Russel Kirk and other intellectual founding fathers of the American conservative movement. Whatever you think about talk radio hosts, it's obvious that the actions and policies of our current political "leadership" (both Democrat and Republican) is a long way from limited, constitutional government, orany kind of conservative principle. I'm pretty well disgusted with most of the Republicans in Washington (as re, incidentally, the two Marks I mentioned - one thing I like about them is how their not afraid to go after Republicans when they betray conservative principle), The GOP can go to hell if it follows its current trajectory. I'm a conservative, not a Republican partisan. And I'm not clear exactly what makes you think politicians are more to be trusted than political pundits who criticize them. I would love to hear intelligent, serious discussion of "principled conservatism" on the radio or TV. I just don't hear it. Where is the conservative Charlie Rose? Tell me, I would love to listen to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4588686 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Yeah, never heard of any of those guys. Which I guess is why libs just can't shut up beeshing about them. Right. So there is a difference between saying that somebody 'is' somewhere and that they 'belong' somewhere. 'Is' is the third person singular present tense of 'to be.' I did not use this word. Rather, I said that those figures 'belong' in obscurity. I was making a normative judgement about where those individuals OUGHT to be rather than where they ACTUALLY ARE. blah blah blah I'm just being a Richard Cheney.

The cause of so many frustrated and confused responses to my excellent and brilliant points. I love you too, bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sad to say that I *do* know who he is, though I would hardly call him a pundit. Vermin Supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posted Vermin Supreme to be funny, even though I know he's not a pundit, though I would hardly call him a politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What a charming looking racist. Are you talking about the Ron Paul newsletter thing, or something else of which I am not aware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
