I would suggest our new label should be "Constitutionals"
It should be noted that the dregs and desperate of Europe along with a few great scholars came to the Colonies. At that time was no democracy or Freedom and we rebelled against England. Thanks to the French we won. At the end of our rebellion democracy did not exist in the colonies and we could have well become just another kingdom, least the wisdom of George Washington whom refused to be such. A few years later men of great wisdom wrote our constitution and from this we became a great nation.
Screw that, the RINOs don’t get to own the word conservative. The term has had a DEFINITION since the start of the English Language, it it basically means people who are against ‘change’ and the only ‘change’ being talked about today is destroying the country from what it had always been.
So sorry, I am still a CONSERVATIVE and Mitt Romney and any others who want to get along with Democrats can shove it.
Sobran or Francis quipped that we rarely let the Constitution interfere with what we want to do. By “we” he meant government officials of all branches. Read the 9th and 10th Amendments. They must have meant something when they were adopted in the Bill of Rights. But today they are essentially a dead letter.
Or look at the 14th Amendment. The debate in Congress makes clear that it was intended to insure citizenship for former slaves. Now it’s being used create anchor babies for illegal aliens and foreign nationals here on visitor visas. Where did that come from? Some judge simply added the idea to an unrelated decision and it now has a life of its own."

Sophistry --- the use of fallacious arguments, especially with the intention of deceiving. (I had to look it up.)
When judges in Germany redefined their laws in order to legally exterminate hated races and political opponents they did so by altering the reality of words. They found out when the allies arrived that relativity was mere delusion and they were hung for murder.
This matter about dropping the term conservative is driven by emotional resentment of politicians who falsely claimed to be conservative in order to dirty the word and by leftist mockery of the word conservative. This is semantic distortion caused, yes, by corrupt politicians to alter word reality to gain power.
He led her down his garden path through catechizing her: his modus operandi. She fell for it and gave him the answers he wanted.
The truth is that Trump IS conservative - more than any of the other 16 globalists.
Trump seeks to CONSERVE the national sovereignty and economic interests of the United States of America.
NOTHING is more fundamentally conservative than that - and NONE of the ideological so-called conservatives share that purpose.
Limbaugh got called out today by a man from the Bronx for this. I agree with the outraged man. I was disgusted myself.
I will give Rush this praise: He let the man give full voice to his outrage for about two minutes.
(Any takers on how many seconds Michael Savage would have tolerated such from a caller who would likely have had to wait for a long time just to get through to speak his mind to that most exalted inventor of Western Civilization)?
Then we come up with another, which they then dilute or pervert.
The right allows the left to control the terms of the debate.
THAT is the problem, not the term, conservative.
Post of the Day.
Continually allowing the left to define the terms of the debate, then surrendering and retreating based upon that abdication, is neither courageous or effective.
Rush Limbaugh is wrong, philosophically and pragmatically. Whatever new term was adopted would itself be promptly corrupted by the leftist media.
I am a conscious conservative, not merely a reflexive traditionalist, and I refuse to abdicate that most accurate descriptor.
I concur.
Yep.
Well said.
Let us be known as the GRATEFUL.
Psalm 100
1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
If the new entity adopted the Trump platform the GOPe rats would be repelled.
Both of my kids tell me that I am just an old fashioned PALEOCON.
I agree with you, just like almost everybody here on FR calls QUEERS “gays”.
The definition in my dictionary defines GAY as happy, joyous, giddy, fun loving, etc.
Has any one here ever met a HOMO/QUEER/LESBO/TRANS or any of their other perversions that was even a remotely happy person?
If we surrender the language to the PROG/LIB/DEM/SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST/LEFTISTS, we surrender our own identity.
I think I will just keep the designation of CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE.
And the republican part will just have to go along for the ride.
