Kamala Harris for Pres

[silesian]

Among whose convictions? Frankly that sounds like Milton Friedman and he's not conservative he's a radical right wing social Darwinist. Until the 80s most conservatives were just as happy to spend on services as the next social democrat, all be it in different ways. So an Australian example would be that with the election of Whitlam's government Whitlam expanded the cabinet from the core ministries of the conservative government to included things like science, sport, women and so on. Basically the modern cabinet structure we have today, which was profoundly necessary at the time to transform the country from a colonial backwater to a modern forward thinking nation state.

So your position is that William F Buckley, founder of the National Review, the magazine that stimulated the conservative movement in the United States, is not a conservative?

I don’t mind debating, but when you say that the preeminent voice of American conservatism in the latter half of the twentieth century was not conservative, well I think it is best we end the conversation.

He's not a figure that has travelled, however what I will say of the American conservative movement is that I haven't regarded it as a conservative movement since Nixon, Nixon was a conservative but also a criminal. Reagan is not in my opinion conservative he and Barry Goldwater are the beginning of new right, of which Trump reflects its authoritarian extreme.

My position is that 1955 was a long time ago which makes it a bit irrelevant.

I’m refuting his claim that limited government is not conservative, but rather an invention of Reagan/ thatcher. Buckley in 1955 preceded this.

doesn’t sound like you’re familiar with Buckley, his writing, or his politics

No not all familiar. He may have been around a while but small government didn't become an obsession of 'conservatives' until the oil shock and stagflation of the late 70s

That is ahistorical nonsense. Arguably, the administration most ardently supporting of small government in our nation's history was that of conservative Calvin Coolidge, elected 45 years before the oil shock and stagflation of the late 70s.

Great thread by JD Vance debunking all of Kamala's ridiculous policy proposals.

So weird that this is coming up, I just rewatched Best of Enemies the other day.

Sorry you can’t acknowledge plain reality in front of our faces. But reality doesn’t care about what allegiances determine your beliefs.

I sometimes can’t believe we’re even debating making a king of a dude that tried to overthrow the government with a mob. What the **** happened to us?
