You don’t “protect life” by doing things that are calculated to cause your own party to lose in a mid term election. Do you? If anybody can voice an intelligent theory on how this will help the conservative cause, please, post it up, I can’t see it.

Get real.

For one thing Reagan approved no fault divorce as gov of Cali.

Mainly I’m speaking of the very limiting focus upon libertarian and free market economic aspects of conservatism as Conservatism itself.

Prosperity and libertinism without a moral framework to direct us as to how to properly spend money and our freedom leads to what we have now.

Old school (Edmund) Burkean Conservatism is a way of seeing the world that permeates one’s politics including economics & views on liberty but is not a mere political ideology.

Russell Kirk’s bio of Burke, Roger Scruton”s How to be a Conservative, and Richard M Weaver’s Ideas Have Consequences all are helpful in clarifying some of this stuff.

Christopher Caldwell’s Age of Entitlement makes what I found to be a very Trumpian argument starting with the 1964 Civil Rights Act that Reagan did more damage to Conservatism than help. I don’t know if I’d be that harsh but his arguments are tough to refute.

I understand the sentiment.


When they were locking us down and stuff....I was worried what would happen if I didn't go along.

I have been done with giving up ground for some time now.

You shouldn’t be honestly. Look at the anti-Trump, the Covtard, and the uketard sentiment here. And this is supposed to be an outdoors/hunting centric site. Traditionally folks that believed in America.

We are fûcked as a nation.

I don't want to read several books. I'd like to know what your own thoughts are because I respect your opinions.

I would argue you could've just gone with that.

I agree with this completely.

“It’s the economy, stupid” has played out over countless elections.

Both of these races are now dead heats, and abortion hysteria is directly to blame. The Demonrats are hammering it, and it's working.

I say BS, L2S.

Millions were spent against these two. McCarthy and Turtleneck were against them also.

Most have no clue as to the Trump card coming and Durhams actions before Nov. Bunch of Pollyannas on here.

I choose to get my information from multiple sources and the WSJ is certainly one of the few I trust as an unbiased news source that just reports facts and lets the reader make their own informed choice. If their poll says that recent abortion rulings are an issue, I believe them, because it matches my own beliefs.

I agree with the SC decision. As a strict constitutional scholar, it is not a constitutional issue. But as a lifelong Republican, the party has lost me on their stance over abortion and their push, such as Texas, for even more restrictive bans. Important decisions and policy are not all black and white. How someone can say they're pro-life and then support capital punishment, I always find as a twist. Few things in life are ever black and white and as a society we have to decide where the line is. Once that's settled, move on. The chances are that neither side is completely happy, but we defined the line we can live with.

We've all become such crybabies now, that if it doesn't fit squarely with your beliefs, we seek to unravel it. This is the case for both Democrats and Republicans! Grow up and realize life is made up of compromises! We should have all learned this as grade school kids on the playground. We look at the kids today and then complain they can't cope with adversity, rejection and compromise. They're just following in our examples! Our current generation of troubled kids that don't know how to cope and compromise are not the root of our current problems. The last two generations are!

You don’t think there’s a difference between killing a completely innocent child in the womb, and executing a convicted murderer…?

Does anyone honestly remember the last time the Democrats negotiated and gave up on an issue to work with "our" side??

So Jim, how do you figure I went left? Because I used critical thinking to form my own decision? I'm probably way more right than you've summed up, but I'm not a sheep that blindly follows the flock.
