Conservatives wanted. Apply within.

I for one would truly like to know just what it is that the Republicants have conseved. Living here near Baghdad on the Potomac the roads are bad, the bridges are worse, our greatest single resource the people are in sorry shape and mostly broke. That is not what I call conserving.

This is a political forum and not a rose grower forum, so the term "conservative" is actually used here from time to time.

In Germany conservatives are assholes and democrats are assholes light. It's that easy.

So after an election when conservatives are replaced by democrats or vice versa we can say: the flies have changed, the pile of shit remains the same. No chance for voters to change something.

Or the other way 'round, the pile gets freshened from a different source and the flies return.

I was once a member of the Capitol Hill Coffeehouse forum. For some years, actually.

It was, and still is (what's left of it) a bastion of conservative thought. And there were enough cons that it provided a full range of cons, from the George Will school of actual historians, to your typical teabag/Coulter types, although there weren't any teabaggers in those days. The latter members were pretty much 5 below radio gasbag mirror types. But as you were butting heads on the other end of the continuum (where there was actually some intellectual curiosity happening) it was fun, people were thinking, processing, and beating each other's brains out. A few of these people became pretty good friends at the time...as dead wrong as they were.

Sounds like a pretty good model tho' I often wonder which planet George Will returns to in the evening after work.

He creates his own reality and, while we're studying that, he creates a new reality which we can study too.
