    Maybe someone here can explain this.

    How do you call yourself ‘conservative’ and not be mad when the President and VP are talking about ignoring legal court orders?

      Oh that’s easy—willful ignorance. So too is conservatism entirely absent in playing fast and loose with the full faith and credit of the treasury; in burning the environment to the ground to make money; in undermining national security for political expedience; in venerating liars, hucksters, and philanderers as moral pillars of society; in disparaging education and learning; in repeating the known failures of history to uphold your political idealism.

      If you actually care about moving slowly, upholding traditional virtues, and respecting the inheirited wisdom of social institutions, then the modern Republican party is about as far away as it gets.

        Over the past few years I’ve become a connoisseur of double think and general BS.

        I was hoping to hear from an actual ‘conservative’ but apparently none of them are here.
