Haven’t heard his reasoning yet. I’ve never identified as Conservative. I just say “The Rep Party left me.”

Well, in the Land Down Under, the terms ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’ are reversed from what we use..................

Rush spent the first half hour of his show mistakenly saying the Cohen plea was about the Trump Tower meeting. Embarrassing and what are we going to “rebrand” to? Progressive is taken. Traditional? What will we rename the republican party? If you’re not a Democrat it doesn’t matter what you call yourself.

“A normal person.”

The media has changed the meaning of conservative to something to be hated and scorned. Calling ourselves normal forces the left to admit that they hate normalcy.

I am self identified (accurately I believe) as a “conservative. I believe it to be a good, correct and fairly descriptive of my political attitudes toward government, constitutional interpretation and moral/ethical values.

The problem is not the designation but, rather, it’s overuse and misapplication to people or situations inaccurately.

The media is famous for labeling someone as “conservative” when their historical beliefs/behavior are anything but.

Conservative describes MY political attitudes better than “right” and certainly more accurately then “Republican”.

I believe in the radical spirit of liberty set forth by the Founding Fathers.

Today's political parties have no room for a misfit like me. :)

When people ask me my political persuasion/leanings during discussions, I always say: “Ask me about a topic and I’ll tell you perspective and beliefs on it.”

Paleocons were writing about the death of “conservativism” as a useful term at least a dozen years ago.

Im a Republican, never claimed to be a ‘conservative’. as far as im concerned if they want to rebrand it id say retro-brand it to “Republic-an” so everyone finally knows what you stand for at a glance, the Republic.

I disagree with him. It’s the demonkkkRATs, leftists etc who need “rebranding”as the commies/socialists/marxists/traitors/hard-core leftists they are. Not us.

Constitutionalists vs Totalitarians

.. because that's what it actually comes down to, both today and historically.

Rush getting his ass taken to the cleaners at 2:40pm, by a Conservative from the Bronx.

I don’t care about labels and the last thing we should do is follow liberals with their name changes, Liberals, progressives, etc.

I must not be reading the right articles. All these people keep pleading guilty to lying. What are the underlying crimes they lied about and why aren’t they ever charged for those offenses? I understand it’s due to the plea bargain but why bargain? There’s no overloaded docket for these people, no need for a quick resolution. Why are they getting these wrist slaps and what are the actual offenses?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

The perp who pleads not guilty when guilty is lying too, but never gets charged for perjury.
