Every conservative should consider the profound and possibly awful observation made by the New York Times’ Josh Barro.

LOL Yeah I'll get right on that.

A constant influx of the “disadvantaged” guarantees a racialized political system and the growth of a Leviathan welfare state.

I'd say "welfare state" pretty much says it all.

Makers vs. takers seems to be an alien concept to the writer.

It seems downright racist that only white men would want to be free. Are we to assume then that all others want to be enslaved?

I think a whole lot of people are confused about conservatism. For the most part, conservatives wish to “conserve” freedom. Which is basically opposite to the socialist democrats.

It’s been said for generations that the democrats are for the poor people. So if you are poor and wish to remain so, just vote democrat. The top democrats make a great living keeping you on the government dole.

“Almost” is a big word. Who was it in MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN, ( her mother? ) that said, “We only did it once, it was almost an immaculate conception.”

Whites haven’t been pitted against each other and made victims by progressives. Sure progressives try to divide whites in to poor and rich but it doesn’t work. Progressives need whitey as the scapegoat. Blacks generally vote as a bloc, latinos generally vote as a bloc, and the both vote reliably democrat. Democrats know this. And the last thing democrats want are successful black and latino communities. It is much easier to get votes blaming someone for community failures than it is to build up a community.

The rush to stand with Mr. Bundy against the Bureau of Land Management is the latest incarnation of conservative antigovernment messaging...strawman #1438 from the leftwingers - standing against the thuggism of the BLM does not make one "antigovernment" - but when you're not bright enough or honest enough to argue the facts, you go for villification......

The New American Creed is that inequalities are America’s fault.

By stepping one foot over the border, people who have never lived here before are magically entitled to school and job preference, etc - all originally designed to address a specific population in time. Many come from communist or facist countries and have no clue about how limited government works; all they care about is how much free stuff they can get here that they can't get at home. It's not about freedom anymore, it's about the booty.

I have considered the observation. If true, it speaks to a deficiency amongst those who are non-white, regardless of who is at fault. Sorry, the truth hurts. If that is the truth, so be it.

“...aversion to the government is almost exclusively a white phenomenon.”

All others, by that standard, are supplicants of their patron state.

Conservatism is the political disposition of grown-ups.

And nonwhites are not interested, because a gut-level aversion to the government is almost exclusively a white phenomenon.

is this guy saying we should all be loving big govt?

did they stop teaching history in the last 30 years??

At the time this country was founded and for about 150 years after, this country was populated and run by people who were mostly conservative in their thoughts and actions no mattter their political affiliation. Virtually no Americans thought the country owed them a living.

Then along came FDR and the welfare state. But even at that time very few to zero Americans sponged off the American tax-payer. It's only been in the last fifty years or so that we have whole classes of people who think it's just fine and dandy to live off what others produce.

I saw some brown skinned people rushing to stand with Mr. Bundy. Just Saying.

Big, authoritarian government gets around to crushing everyone. It’s just a matter of time and political priorities.
