McCain Won, Your Guy Lost – Now Do What’s Best for America
You might as well argue with a brick wall as with a ‘real conservative’. As most of the postings above make completely clear.
The ONLY thing they have in common with reality is their support for the anti-terrorism effort, and clearly that means far less to them than their private hobby horses. Hobby horses which the vast majority of the population declines not only to ride but even to admire from the sidelines.
They think they are ascendant when in fact they are dying as a movement because they have no answers to the changing demands of the future. Just hatred and calumny for their many opponents. Between inviting Jules to move to France, believing somehow that McCain is a socialist(they don’t even know what that means except as some kind of curse word), and a flurry of vile personal attacks and paranoid fantasies, they are the next best thing to clueless that one can possibly locate on short notice.
I just wish they would get on with the dying off part. If voting for a Democrat would ensure their quicker demise it would almost be worth it. But it won’t. They just have to wither away at their own pace like all other obsolete political value systems.
It was said about the Holy Roman Empire that it was “neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire”. The same concept applies fully to the modern day ‘real conservatives’.
They think they are despised by everyone else. They didn’t use to be. But they are now doing a fine job of making paranoia into actual reality. By November they will have just about completed the job.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people to be perfectly candid.
A blogger at NRO pretty much sums up the ‘real’ picture for those who can’t see very well on their own.
“Our main priority has been conserving the conservative movement. Our reward is a GOP front-runner whose main priority has been national security, and who has contempt for conservatives.
Maybe just maybe some of that contempt is deserved.”
No maybes about it. None at all.
