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

    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?

    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...

      I thought you already tried that. But if it makes you feel better, by all means!

        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.

            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.

                  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.

                      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.....

                        We don't want to discuss your titties, Larry. I mean, I wouldn't think you would either. 👊

                                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.

                                You're determined to wear out that shovel aren't you.

                                Say, have you tried to join the cast on Curse of Oak Island? You may want to screen test. You never know but you just could dig yourself so deep you discover your own boots for the viewing audience.

                                Good stuff. I'll take it under advisement and correct course.

                                  He's not trolling; he's responding.

                                  Stay out of it, Karen.

                                        Old people shouldn't try to use this trendy new terminology, they always get it wrong.

                                        I was only joking
