 They tend to do that when they haven't a leg to stand on

Bring back the Divine Right of Kings!
Only when a Bourbon sits on the throne again at Versailles will heaven and earth be in a proper alignment. Then, HE will come down and rule the earth with an Iron Staff. All my enemies will be consigned to the fiery abyss and me and my friends will ascend up to the supernal heaven with God, the Prophets and the Angels.
A true Conservative is for a Bourbon restoration to undo the nefarious work of the levelers and social democrats. Just say no to the bourgeoisie!

hey blurin
come back and pursue your coz,
i like watching you try to convince
educated and ethical people:
to rape and piliage the earth,
so's you can achieve gross and negligent american excess on the cheap;
to shun rights and respect to those of unique creed,
because your are ignorant of them and therefore generalize their circumstances into amoral;
to deny those of stunted oportunity a chance,
because you are too greedy to share;
to deny those of physiological struggles
proper health care and well-being support,
because you are too greedy to share;
come on blurring,
come out and play.
i need some theatre for the afternoon wanes
ahead of my menstral cycle.

Well, Bluey, it looks like the left took over this thread, since I see very few recent posts germane to the topic of restoring conservatism.

Well, John, I'm a stranger in strange land... What's ironic is that I used to be one of 'them'.
I just grew up and learned how to take care of myself.
Fish Market tonight! Radz. I'm a total 1%-er~!~~~

Hey Spin Docktor: results just in.
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States has now spent $1 trillion more than it's taken in for four straight years.
The Treasury Department confirmed Friday what was widely expected: The deficit for the just-ended 2012 budget year — the gap between the government's tax revenue and its spending — totaled $1.1 trillion. Put simply, that's how much the government had to borrow."
Lets blame Bush. PS, you now owe $141,212. http://www.usdebtclock.org/

If all goes well, the parasites convince the stupid poor that they share the same cause by invoking religion or some other form of hate mongering.
It's a myth that the individual just takes care of her or himself, you are propped up by a society and your ideology is used like a weapon to keep "them" down. Enjoy your meal!
You must still be young and 'convinced'. Who do you think really takes more advantage of the 'poor' or 'disadvantaged'? Try to be honest with yerself.
Who always plays the race-card, the war-on-women card, etc... Who encourages food stamps and welfare?
Who promotes getting off those programs and becoming self-sufficient?
You can stew in stereotypes and rhetoric all day, but reality is real...bro.

I just went last weekend, Skully. Does that have any relevance to anything?
Or is it only relevant if I don't go so that you can make some inane, stupid point?

"That's how it works. The parasitic (in this case, Republicans) feed off the hard working (usually blue collar Democrat types). If all goes well, the parasites convince the stupid poor that they share the same cause by invoking religion or some other form of hate mongering"
So I guess there aren't any Democrats that are rich?
And the poor Democrats convince the smart poor with a form of love mongering?
Maybe like the love of evolution, or the love of mother nature. The love of things that you can see and touch?

Yeah, maybe. And I see yer point.
I can only talk and spray about climbing rocks for so long though. Just like you hate politics. I just think politics is more relevant and has a much bigger impact on our lives, whether directly or indirectly. It still will get you.
Rocks, and spraying about climbing on a forum is mostly weak unless you're posting awesome pics or new topos or some sh#t.
This is why I chose to burden you less with my presence here. You guys would rather circle-jerk about who's more awesome at climbing a stellar A4 line on whatever....I hate aid and I hate talking about climbing bullsh#t. Just go climb! Trip reports are kinda cool though....

I've posted just as much climbing as you
You know, I've climbed for 40 years now, and can still do way harder climbing than you ever did.
Does it matter?
No, you haven't posted more climbing sh#t than me. But, yes, you have climbed harder than me, and for longer.
Is it relevant? No.
You have a curse of ruining somewhat good discussions with your stupid distracting bullsh#t.
F*#k off, please.

In light of recent American political events, maybe we should restore this thread. It made me think about not only a change in our direction, but what I've observed globally.
Obviously, America took a turn to the right. I think just for a lack of leadership, primarily, America wants jobs and a better economy that the Dems seems incapable of resuscitating. I think they just use the wrong formula.
Ii think there are other issues like amnesty/illegal immigration that scared people off of Dems/Obama.
The bottom line was a lack of conservative, populist ideals that many Americans overwhelmingly agree with, whether they're Dems or Repubs.
But what I've noticed is that this is just not an American phenomenon. It's already happened in Australia, and they have different immigrant issues. They used to be very strict on that and when they let up, stuff got really 'extreme'. They are closing that now.
European countries are following suit. Notably - Britain, France, Switzerland, Holland, and Denmark have realized that their liberal immigration policies from North Africa and the greater Mid-East have shown immigrants who won't only assimilate, but now call for the downfall of their societies.
These countries are trying to react now, some successfully. Others are overrun.
These countries have also shown rise to 'Tea Party' type groups/political parties that are successfully challenging current gov'ts to bail on the EU.
Once Socialist models of Europe may be coming to their senses. Finally.
