Do I feel they are truly conservatives? Nope. Not at all. At least not in the what conservatism means.
> violence-endorsing non-American
When did I endorse violence? Are you out of your mind? I literally said that I would want to see the insurrectionists thrown behind bars for what they did. Point to the part where you found me endorsing violence or take back your words.
My take on the insurrection and what should be done to those who desecrated the US Capitol: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25729582 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25729582
> I should worry about BLM and the Democrats “purging” people with my beliefs is surreal
I never once mentioned BLM or Democrats purging conservatives. I accused the leftist lobby in Big Tech doing the purge because of how tied they are to their ideology. Whether BLM/Democrats had a role in it I don't know. So I won't even drag them into this. You want to extrapolate to include BLM and Democrats that is your headache not mine.
> If Bush is a liberal to you guys then I guess I’m as liberal as can be.
Bush was an opportunist. An establishment war hawk. A Conservative only by name but a Statist in every sense of the word. Bush was anything but for limited Government. These are the people you resonate with? People who bombed other countries ruthlessly based on a hunch that there are "weapons of mass destruction" (ex: Iraq and Afghanistan)? And you have the gumption to say I endorse violence? Look into a mirror and you'll see the person who endorses violence stare back at you.
And since you mentioned "Cato Institute" in one of the posts above, let me link an article that succinctly explains why Bush is not a conservative: https://www.cato.org/blog/bush-was-not-conservative https://www.cato.org/blog/bush-was-not-conservative
- jonathanyc 6y agolol @ someone claiming to promote limited government in America putting the Cato Institute in scare quotes Listen buddy, if none of George Bush, Lindsey Graham, David Koch, Ron Paul, or the Cato Institute represent “true conservatives” to you, then I’m glad the notion of conservatism wherever you’re from is not one shared by my fellow Americans. Have a good day and please don’t come here.
