    @renauda said in The Taliban - business barbaric as usual:

    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.

    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.

    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:

    https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/5044/buyer-s-remorse/57?_=1626371122392

    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?

      Renauda has a principled Full Stop stance against respect for the opinions of those who didn't vote. Duly noted.

      Renauda has a lot of Full Stop principled stances. I'll bet not a single one of them is interesting, or worth discussing.

      So you don't like to define political labels, and you know a book where someone wrote about them. Duly noted.

          I was talking about his sanctimonious Full Stop mode. I'm sure he's interesting in many other modes. But when he's irritated at self-identified conservatives on TNCR, and wants to troll them, he regresses to thoughtless sanctimony.

                  This is still some pretty tame kerfuffle by TNCR historical standards.

                  But I will confess that I'm more of a William Buckley conservative than a Donald Trump one.

                      To your credit I might add. I always respected WFB and more often than not, totally agreed with what he had to say on issues.

                        Romney, the architect of Romneycare, has never been a conservative except on fiscal matters and even then, he has let some things go by unopposed, that I suspect most conservatives could not. Chaney is a neocon. I don't know if that qualifies by your definition. Huntsman might make the criteria...

                                Not really, but Ms Cheney is personally preferable to the likes of Ted Cruz and Lindsay Graham who are in the running to take over as Chief Opportunist Extraordinaire from the now politically desiccated and, duly fossilized, Hilary Clinton.

                                  Actually I hadn't, but carry on. You are doing a fine job of digging yourself into a hole all on your own.

                                  Your coalition definitely agrees.

                                    I wasn't aware of a conspiracy against you.

                                      By using the word "coalition", I'm a conspiracy theorist. You're chock full of boilerplate trolling. One wonders what it would look like if you went full bore. You sure you're not in the mood? C'mon, your coalition will find it entertaining, and I will too.

                                        Chaney is a neocon. I don't know if that qualifies by your definition.

                                        Not really, but Ms Cheney is personally preferable to the likes of Ted Cruz and Lindsay Graham who are in the running to take over as Chief Opportunist Extraordinaire from the now politically desiccated and, duly fossilized, Hilary Clinton.

                                        Except Ted Cruz keeps forgetting to stay in the game. He has that in common with Marco "Senate is Boring" Rubio.

                                          Geez... I had a perfectly good discussion of titties going, and now everyone has decided they'd rather fight.

                                          That means I need to change gears..

                                          And as much as I dearly love titties, I love a good fight.

                                          So somebody hit me so I can slap the piss out of somebody.....
