    the insidiousness of the opponents to objectivism, and to rational
    thought in general, appears to have no bounds. . those with principles
    may find that behavior restrained by some of their principles
    delays success significantly. . "stooping to their level" may be a
    Danneskjold-quality lesson -- when force is implicit
    in the actions of opponents, force may be required
    to counter it. . by the standards of decent people. -- j

    First thing is define conservatives or which of the existing definitions is to be used. Second if you look at some of the progressives arguments in favor of a certain change it will sound extremely objective until you notice they offer only instances and metaphors but are lacking in facts and when they do facts it's cherry picking time and even then one must follow through and find out what their true objective is. What they claim is for the individual as a matter of freedom will slyly not mention the individual is named George Soros or any of the Billionaire Boys

    Club and the current goal is direct contributions to candidates and measures in every one of the 110,000 precincts, all the cities, towns, counties and states they care to target to fund enough elections and measures to get their other wish lists fulfilled. Sure you will have the same rights. How many of you does it take to match one million dollars of 'money as free speech' or even one hundred million dollars to get just enough votes to ensure a majority his way?

    So before you get wrapped around the axle with philosophy remember the part where Rand said check EVERY possibility on any given issue. Objectively. You will find the progressives have many worms in the system....and they will take any oath you wish....then cut your throat.

    But for the fun of it list all the definitions of conservative and liberal pre PC, post PC. You will find that number equals the number of oaths they are willing to take.

    Progressives cannot be trusted....by the standards of decent people.

    They also will not allow themselves to be caught in a trap of their own making ...relying on their numbers to rule the day.

    The same numbers that voted in Bush the second time and Obama twice and lived to whine about it. Three times in a row plus off year elections.....but they still are playing fiddling lemmings while all else burns.

    Your turn John!
