Huh?? I'm a conservative, for starters. I'm just anti-Trump.
But as Stoked said, mod choices are not made along political lines at all. So that's a very weird question to ask.
I used to think Stoked was a fair conservative. I just don't think he carries water for that team, or cares to. I think you and Jonah are excellent examples of the Bush sort of Republicans.
We have some solid conservative radio talk show hosts in people like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, who are fully connected with the realities of today's world. Millions of Americans like them, and are grateful to have their programs on air. Mark Levin is a solid conservative Republican as well, and a solid legal expert on some things, like the Constitution.
Utah/Mormon based conservatives sometimes are not so realistic or grounded in today's world, what with the Book of Ether figuring in to validate rash and simplistic "conspiracy theories" essentially along the lines of evil men with sworn blood oaths like the Gadianton Robbers, and such.
I don't think Joel Skousen, son of W. Cleon Skousen of "The Naked Communist" and "The Naked Capitalist" school of political analysis have got it nailed by any means. I think the ideals of the founding fathers in regard to human rights, human dignity, and human opportunity have been largely displaced in today's culture, and people want their government to do stuff, even on a global scale. I just think the people are handled like mushrooms too much, and we have no objective media outing the real skunks.
I don't think we can have good government by immoral people. I think that is where you get off, or never got on the Trump Train, and that was the problem why Trump did not get the same kind of enthusiasm in Utah.
But really, do you expect me to believe there has never been a good, fair, or objective conservative in here who would have served to balance the tone of JazzFanz rhetoric a bit?
It is true I range the field, and pick up stuff from across the spectrum. I have a wife who is Republican to the core, a Milton Friedman economist. I like Lyndon LaRouche, whom I have met. I know he even visited Henry E. Eyring years ago, and spent hours talking with him. Eyring was like that. He appreciated people who had some interesting point of view coming around to visit.
I don't fit with today's democrats since the Clinton sold out the Party to the Banks. While I would espouse the interests of the common man, I think history vindicates the notions that governments never do right for the peon/peasant/serf sort.
I call it the mushroom cloud.
I signed up as a Republican a few years ago, after many years as an independent. I would self-identify most with Sean Hannity.
