The Lincoln Project is a conservative anti trump political organization. They produce some of the best anti trump videos, posting them on YouTube. They are particularly good at skewering trump and the rest of the republican party because they understand him better than liberals do. They attack...

There appears to be an ongoing debate over whether the CPAC stage was deliberately designed to resemble an Odal_(rune) or whether it's just a weird coincidence. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cpac-stage-nazi-symbol/ https://twitter.com/allisongill/status/1365390452824756224/ I'm sure...

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/10/31/conservative-republicans-are-least-supportive-of-making-it-easy-for-everyone-to-vote/ Only about a third of conservative Republicans (36%) favor doing everything possible to make it easy to vote, compared with a majority (65%) of moderate and...

I suspected this may be a silly exercise in civility, but I'm curious what many here seem to think of other "conservative" voices out there. Examples like Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Ben Carson, Clarance Thomas, Rand Paul, Trey Gowdy, Condoleezza Rice? This forum seems to be very...

"“Should I stay or should I go now?” That question, posed by the eminent political philosophers known as The Clash, is one that confronts any Republican with a glimmer of conscience. You used to belong to a conservative party with a white-nationalist fringe. Now it’s a white-nationalist party...

Conervative-but-not-crazy columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer announces that his retirement has been compelled by his imminent demise. His positions were often hard to swallow, but he was always intelligent and knowledgable, and his personal story -- getting through medical school and...

An Awareness Campaign This was a topic I had attempted to talk about at SkeptiCamp NYC 2016 (http://skepticampnyc.org/). However, things ran late, and a large chunk of my time was cut off. Although I managed to get out most of my main points, in a rather hurried manner, I figured I would...

The election thread seems to have run into the sand, and we have a new government this morning. Does anyone want to discuss the coalition deal and the prospects for government? Rolfe.

Conservative Republicans in general, and the "Tea Party" crowd as well, go on and on about "small government" being a major goal for their brand of conservatism. Just what goal do they have in mind? I know that the extreme right, the Libertarian-leaning types, would just as soon have almost...

A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll shows Sarah Palin's positives are nosediving even among republicans. The general feeling is she is just not qualified for national office.

With the upcoming 40th anniversary of Woodstock, I wonder if the lsm will mention that Max Yasgar, the man who made the event possible, was a conservative? In August of 1969, my 49-year-old conservative, Republican, pro-war businessman father invited tens of thousands of his hippie friends to...

Yesterday Representative Steve King (R-IA) was the only member to vote against recognizing history of slave labor in the U.S. capitol. The House of Representatives voted 399-1 for the Capitol Visitors Center to have a plaque acknowledging the role of slave labor in the construction of the...

In light of all the Doomsday news about the sinking GOP, I seriously wonder if we still have some Republican Members hanging around.

The Irony of Satire - Political Ideology and the Motivation to See What You Want to See in The Colbert Report One of the authors was interviewed on Olbermann tonight. It was fascinating. How could people not know Colbert was making fun of conservatives? The brain does funny things This could...

It seems as if many conservatives feel the Republican party is adrift. They are planning a post-election meeting to plan strategy... Conservatives plan secret post-election strategy session And it seems, as I have been predicting, that win or lose Sarah Palin (not McCain) is going to factor...

I think it's a terrific idea. Gordon Brown is clearly very clever, as he knows that we keep going at this rate, and we will have no liberties for the terrorists to destroy at all *touches nose*!

OK the thread title is a tad misleading but this story really did have me chuckling (and it would have done which ever party was involved.)

Kind of like the Republicans ignored the mistakes in Clinton's personal life? Funny how Rudy's "mistakes" are between him, God, his conscience and the people involved," whereas Clinton's "mistakes" required a soft-porn tome from Ken Starr and nightly news coverage for months.

Read this article this morning, while waiting for a load. Your thoughts? I thought this part was illuminating... Interesting facts, and an equally interesting view. I accepted years ago a General Discharge from the Army, mainly because I subscribed to the notion that my ill considered and...

What I've felt for a while (I left the Republican Party in 2002), but Barry Eisler expresses it much more eloquently:

A notable mover and shaker in Australia, in conservative political circles, is the Australian version of Lush Rimbaugh, Alan Jones. He is not married, never has been, never will be. A casual inference would be that he is possibly gay. He is, however, an arch conservative. Now another person...

As we happy few knock heads in this forum day after day, pretty much to little effect, I'm curious. Let's say you've been given a blank slate -- although the Constitution, as it stands today, is in place. History, too, is unchangeable. And the current major players on the national as well as...

http://majikthise.typepad.com/majikthise_/2005/07/conservatives_a.html Thought some might find this interesting, though it doesn't say where they stand on teaching ID and creation or the actions of the Kansas school board...I suppose they would justify based on local democratic process...anyway....

There was a great letter in today’s NYTimes. They had run an article a couple of days ago about all of the young conservatives coming to Washington for the summer or to start their careers “reshaping” America. The story was about living in Dorms run by organizations like the Heritage...

When you listen to left-wing secularists talk, you would swear that Amercia is headed for a theocracy, that Christians are a dominant force in society, that the Republicans are trampling on our freedoms, that GWB in imposing his religious views on a frightened public, and that Secularist are a...
