The Taliban - business barbaric as usual

[Catseye3]

@renauda Yep. Donald Trump, the gift that keeps on giving.

[Larry]

This is why you can't win against a Trump hater. They're all stupid.

Pay no attention Cats. The big issue is whether the Taliban may have posted on Twitter at the expense of Trump. It is not an issue anywhere beyond the borders of pseudo - conservative USA.

The issue is bigger than that. The issue is censorship in the public square. Trump is the example, but the issue is bigger than just him.

Say, Renauda, would you care to name a single living "real conservative"? I know you can't define "real conservativism", but I feel naming an example might be within your capabilities.

@horace

Sure, Joe Lieberman. Other than that, I guess Boris Johnson.
Other than that you're on your own for guesses, sod off.

[Larry]

Joe Lieberman is not a conservative. Boris Johnson isn't an American.

Yes, but Lieberman is reasonable. He has principles which I have to respect (ignoring the fact that he ran with Algore). He's not crazy.

I'll let others comment on BoJo.

So what we have is Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb decided to prove their ignorance by claiming there was no Taliban on Twitter, basically saying those who said they are are idiots - only to be proven wrong, and instead of either Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dumb having the character to admit they were incorrect, they fell silent and let other left wingers save their bacon by changing the subject and launching personal attacks.

Par for the course.

Yes, he's one of the last true liberals. But what he's not is a conservative. It's a shame actually that he stands pretty much alone as a sane and reasonable democrat.

By any chance are they associated with Frick and Frack?

Just curious.

I struggle with that. Maybe it's because politicians these days have to pander super hard to stay relevant.

I think it's the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created.

That's probably my main beef with Trump - everything was so easy with him. I still like George Will and Romney types.

True, his real name is Boris Ivanovich Ivanov.

Nah. Frick and Frack were a comedy team potentially capable of rational thought when required. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb were a couple of whacked out fantasy idiots that only Alice could see during one of her drug fueled nightmares....

So you went out and asked Alice after all.

Well.. she had nice tits, so........ yeah.....

[Renauda]

That was graceful and slick of you.

[Larry]

She had nice tits too for a while there... but it got to the point where you'd need some of whatever Alice was sniffing to .....,.

Never mind...

Oddly enough, he was until 2016.

Nor can you. But at least I have an idea as to what is real conservatism which is more than you can you say as a person who refuses to cast your vote in federal elections. A true conservative would exercise his or her constitutional right to vote regardless of whether or not their choice could be elected to office.

In case you missed it then: Please refer to my response to TG back in November on this question:

As for real living American conservatives, permit me to add three additional names:

Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney and Jon Huntsman Jr.

While I don't agree with their politics and could not vote for either if I were a US citizen, I can at least respect their commitment to integrity. I felt the same way about the late John McCain and a host of other Republicans no longer around. Scary isn't it?
