You know, reading the title of this post... i almost forgot who won in November.

Nah, just kidding.

Well....not all of us conservatives....just the sell-out bunch.

I think your analysis is wrong on this. What is being described as "conservatives" are not truly conservatives but rather, elitist establishment republicans. These people have been the major obstacle to conservatism. I also don't consider Trump to be a true conservative, he has too many policy ideas that contradict conservative philosophy. He is a populist and a lot of conservatives support him.

Sanders is more than a socialist....he's a communist.

Bernie Sanders is certifiably not a communist. He does not call for the government to own all means of production, he respects gun rights and he is devoted to free speech.

I do have some issues about his social opinions, but they pale in comparison to the coming problems we are going to have with the Robotics Revolution.

It does the cause no good at all to push such disinformation while the rest of your postings are generally accurate and laudable.

Jimmy, I do appreciate your kind words....but....Bernie Sanders is certainly a communist.
I hope you read the quotes I provided from the NYPost.


For further clarity, I recommend
“Red Army: The Radical Network That Must Be Defeated To Save America,” by Klein and Elliot.

1. Creation of the Progressive Caucus is credited to Bernie Sanders. The groups in the radical network include a) the Congressional Progressive Caucus, b) the Congressional Black Caucus, c) the Populist Caucus, and the d) Progressive Democrats of America. Allied with the above is ACORN, SEIU, and the Institute for Policy Studies And, indirectly, the Center for American Progress and the Apollo Alliance.

2. While the United States is one of the few democracies without an official socialist party, in reality socialist occupy some of the highest positions in the “Marxist-socialist” bloc in Congress. In fact, the Congressional Progressive Caucus was founded as a sister to the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA.

a. Before the socialist network infiltrated the Democratic Party, its ideology permeated academic institutions for decades.

b. In the 60’s, radicals attempted to overthrow the US capitalist system by actual revolution: the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) or its spinoff, the Weathermen terrorist group. DSA was established to transform capitalism by democratic means.


3. Michael Harrington, founder of the DSA, knew that infiltration of the Democratic Party was primary, and it already contained all of the progressive elementns
The Eduard Bernstein Internet Archive

Socialism time line. The DSA remains the principle branch of the Socialist International, whose primary goal is global governance under worldwide socialism.

a. The Socialist International boasts it is successor to the First International of Karl Marx, 1864. “Ever since its inception in 1951, the Socialist International has made cosmetic efforts to distance itself from communist socialists.” 404 test

4. “”The Socialist International carries the torch for Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, V.I. Lenin, Leon Trotzky, and Josef Stalin. Pay no attention to the desperate attempts by socialists to distance themselves from Stalin. For our purposes, it suffices to observe that every single tenet of the Socialist International is the exact opposite of the principles upon which America was founded, and which define the U.S. Constitution. DSA/USA, the "Democratic Socialists of America" are the U.S. arm of the Socialist International. They share the symbol of the fist holding the rose, and they share the tasks to be accomplished - in our case, an altogether different America. You may verify all this at www.dsausa.org.

Well....not all of us conservatives....just the sell-out bunch.

1. When Donald Trump...against all probability...won the Republican nomination, one of the most infuriating....or disappointing....outcomes, was the chorus of the "purer then thou" conservatives....dubbed "Never Trumpers."




2. "....the editor of the conservative National Review, assembles a squadron of writers from all over the world of conservatism -- religious figures, radio personalities, President Reagan's former aides. True, they might have had their differences in the past, but this time, they have all come together in one final effort to stop a powerful villain from destroying liberty and freedom before the Iowa caucuses in just over a week.
That villain, of course, is Donald Trump, ..." Top Republicans say Donald Trump’s real problem is that he’s too moderate

3. "....signing one or both of two public “Never Trump” letters during the campaign, declaring they would not vote for Trump and calling his candidacy a danger to the nation. One letter, with 122 names, was published by War on the Rocks, a website devoted to national security commentary, during the primary season in March. The other, with 50 names, including some repeat signatories, was published by the New York Times during the general-election campaign in August." Vox Popoli: Pity the poor Never Trumpers



5. In the most abysmal act of political betrayal....
"Jeb Bush’s son: Yeah, it’s possible my Uncle George will vote for Hillary Clinton"
Jeb Bush’s son: Yeah, it’s possible my Uncle George will vote for Hillary Clinton - Hot Air


4. Shocked at the duplicity......this comes to mind:
"Ephialtes He betrayed his homeland, in hope of receiving some kind of reward from the Persians,[2] by showing the Persian forces a path around the allied Greek position at the pass of Thermopylae, which helped them win the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC." Ephialtes of Trachis - Wikipedia

Ephialtes of Trachis - Alchetron, The Free Social Encyclopedia



" Ever since Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks at Thermopylae, in Greek "ephialtes" means nightmare. Ephialtes also is used in Greek as a synonym for traitor, in a comparable fashion to the usage of the words Quisling or Judas, or Benedict Arnold in the US."
Or....'Never Trump!"



Coming right up....the stake through the heart of the "Never-Trump Conservative" windbags.

The OP is a free trader now devoted to a protectionist.

The OP spewed hatred for Clinton's treatment of women for years, now devoted to Trump, who if anything has been worse then Clinton.

Did I hear the word 'sellout' somewhere?

Total sell out.

Well....I'm waiting to see what Trump is able to accomplish....and hope that Oscar Wilde wasn't warning us....

Mathew 6:5

. 5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…

By my count, President Trump used the words "I" and "my" only once each.

It was all "you" and "we."

Quite a difference from that windbag who just vacated the White House.

Oh yeah, did you count how many times Trump did use the word "I" in his press meeting? He's such a windbag, according to you...

Recount....three "I"'s

and

"The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans."

He certainly didn't back down!

Made clear how he felt about both parties....and the establishment career pols....



"Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs, and while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land."

Ayatollah alert!


"We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example. We will shine for everyone to follow. We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth."


A spit right into Obama's eye!

Message to Mitch:

"We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action constantly complaining but never doing anything about it. The time for empty talk is over."

"Trump forcefully rejected identity politics. Racial and ethnic identities, he said, are less important than our status as American citizens. “When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.” There are no hyphenated Americans in this worldview, only Americans and outsiders. And Americans are to be privileged over outsiders. It’s been said that American presidents are replaced by their opposites. What a contrast to Barack Obama’s second inaugural address, where he called for a “world without walls.”

Still not conservative enough for the 'Never Trumpers'?????
