I find it hard to read someone's opinion when they start by insulting my knowledge of historical events and stake out all dissent as the realm of the stupid. Other than that Ben Shapiro held my attention. Conservatives folded long ago in order to gain and hold onto political offices. Neither party has a philosophical base to their positions, other than to say whatever it takes to get elected so they can pillage the till.

I have the feeling that the "ins" dare not let in any outsider that will see the graft and dishonesty that has taken place before them and spill the beans.

Trump may be as crazy as a March Hare and be less than optimal as a leader of the free world but that is not what scares these SOB's. He would have no reason not to say "Look at what these guys have been doing!!!" He would say it because he wasn't a part of it and owed nothing to those that were. He would do it to expand his own span of control.

I had pretty much the same feeling about Romney as far as spilling the beans went and I felt that his own party did as much to defeat him as Obama did. A seriously moral man is the last thing person that could be allowed to see the rotten interior of our government.

Emperors, Kings, Tsars and Dictators have controlled most of the world for most of history and they need subjects to rule so we will be allowed to survive personally, as the ship sinks. It is not as big of a loss as we think because we were never as free as we thought we were anyway.

I would be a lot more concerned about Trump's lack of "conservatism" if the same people hadn't sat quietly by while Bush passed, no child left behind, expanding government intrusion into schools, the Patriot act expanding government intrusion into everything, expanded medicaid and handed billions to the banks.

Did anyone think McCain of McCain-Feingold or Romney, the originator of Obamacare were conservatives?

Seriously, defending Conservatism? When?
