    This article "Moderate Is A Myth" makes a point several of you have made but others pretend doesn't.

    About the response to the Biden wins.

    This makes my Never Trump, Jeb! voting, Chamber of Commerce friends angry. “He’s a socialist! He’s said glowing things about communist regimes! How dare you – as a conservative – cheer the likes of Sanders?!”


    Oh really? How dare you – as a conservative – pretend anyone in the Democrats’ field isn’t a full-blown socialist? Furthermore, how are the current luminaries of their party – Obama, Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, etc. – how are any of them fundamentally different than Bernie Sanders? The answer is they’re not. They’re just better salespeople.

    Biden has five decades of big government stank on him and that makes Republican, Democrat, and media establishment as comfortable with him as an old pair of jeans. They’d all love to see Biden win the nomination and go on to defeat President Trump.

    This is some next level delusion.

    Whaaaaaaat? "Gay," and "conservative" doesn't create triple takes from people on the right (as well as the left)? Ask me again how I know conservatives are being slowly dragged to the left.


    You are conflating a few definitions of "conservative" to get there.
    Fiscal and religious are not joined at the hip, I'm not sure they ever were, just familiar travelers.

    I could not care less about "gay" and I would consider myself a conservative.

    So would damn near everyone on the right. What, are you telling me that you would be like "oh that's cool," and not do a triple take?

    My "triple take" would be watching the attacks come from the "party of inclusion".
    Noticing how the attacks would be very personal, sometimes violent, but rarely logical or based on policy.

    Wow. You live on stereotypes. The Moral Majority was a factor 30+ years ago, not now.

    Have you heard of any significant push-back from the right about about current Trump's Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, Brandon Straka (#WalkAway), the Log Cabin Republicans?
    I've read repeatedly that it is easier for a gay person to come out to conservatives about their sexuality than it is for a gay conservative to come out to their liberal friends. The conservatives are far more accepting.

    Oh. I follow. I'm glad CM jumped all over that earlier response. Disgusting.

    Do you know the genesis of the comment? What is was referencing?
    (Hint, one of our “esteemed” members said the same thing about Melania, didn’t get too much pushback)

    And y'all have been so kind to Michelle Obama.

    Used to be, the pol's were fair game and their family was not.

    If you want to reinstitute those ground rules, I'd be happy to oblige and let CM give anyone who deviates a vacation.

    (for the record, I don't remember saying anything negative about the Melania.)

    It has NEVER been that way.

    It has always been that the families of Democrats were off limits.

    But the families of Republicans were open game.

    Meh... that Rubicon was crossed when Sara Palin was running for VP. It’s all “you started first” now.

    Show me one instance of someone saying things about Obama's children.

    Someone that is not so far outside the mainstream that no one will claim them.

    It wasn't you that was saying it.

    Hear that? That's the sound of many people flying through the INGO search function to find insults against Presidential kids by both sides... or frantically editing those posts to not have easily searched terms.

    If it helps them, I said some bad things about hunter biden - of course they were all true.

    That is just BS.

    People poked fun, criticism, hatred against leaders (and miscellaneous gods) and their families, spawn, pets etc. since the beginning of time... and even before that.
