NR brand of conservatism has run its course, totally discredited and on its way to the dustbin of history, along with it are figures like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Bill Buckley and Jack Kemp,
10 years ago you'd have been banned for writing that post. Now the truth of it is do self evident that it hardly raises an eyebrow. Maybe there is hope.
Wait a minute! There are plenty of college degrees in the Am. middle class. And something significant and terrible has happened to us. Traitorous betrayal of us and this country by the political classes and the 1% for self interest and their agendas. And,stop trying to bring us in line by using the word conservative falsely.
Bill Buckley famously observed on numerous occasions that he would sooner be governed by 100 people chosen at random from the Boston telephone book than by the 100 typially serving US Senators. Jack Kemp's crime (?) was apparently that he shared with Ronald Reagan the quality of being an optimistic public figure genuinely seeking to better the lives of each and every Ameerican.
Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh ar, despite lifelong service to the conservative movement, being pilloried for not being mindless zombies applauding Trump's every utterance. That they both supported Moral Monster Mitt Romney against Obozo apparently does not suffice as a sacrifice of capable minds in service to country (?) unless they also make clear that Trump not only should be POTUS rather than Hillary (who could disagree?) but also make believe that he is the Second Coming of Ronaldus Maximus, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich von Hayek, Antonin Scalia and Jesus Christ all wrapped in a package posing as a "working class" NYC real estate billionaire.
Truth is the one major and consistent casualty of the 2016 campaign. Hopefully, turning Comrade Grandma into the last casualty will make it a bit more palatable.
