If you're buying the drinks, I'll be whatever kind of conservative you want.

At one time I considered myself a Republican. It didn't last long, maybe 3-4 years, and I still feel a little "dirty" from the experience. I think if someone called me "conservative" in todays context, I'd end up in jail.

The word has been so over-used down here it's become just an annoying meaningless noise.

Where you guys hiding, conservatives of the old school. Come on by for a chat. I'll buy the first round.
I used to be such, believe it or not. What you see now is sort of 'reactionary.' I gradually stopped being a conservative by degrees, as I found more and more 'conservatives' to be more and more pathetic, mean-spirited, and obnoxious.

I'm think that's because some of them have no idea what it really means. The younger ones and the not so sharp ones that is. All they know is that everyone else in their circle calls themselves this "conservative" thing and being a "libtard", whatever that is, appears to be really uncool.

"I hear the libtards spit on the troops. They SUCK!"

Of course the smarter ones hear shit like that and just let it go.
