There are no Republican “real conservatives,” Grimmy. (Seditious, yeah.)

I’m a mainstream, New Deal Democrat, and I figure, these days, that pretty much makes *me* a “conservative.” I don’t know any Republicans who’d care if the U.S. disbanded, as long as they got to keep their loot.

What they need is a year in a re-education camp, dressed in burlap, forced to take civics courses, never let near a ballot booth again, their entire legacy dismantled.

I don’t know. Got a lot o’ fish fryin’. And in 15 years on the Internet, I think I’ve only ever changed one mind. That’s a scant return on the investment.

You have accidentally swerved into one of the things wrong with religion in all forms – too much belief and too little knowledge.
It also seems to be the case that when God is removed as a belief, rock stars and Obama substitute. It’s sick and I heartily agree with the concept you evoke.
I won’t vote with a light heart at all in Nov, unless Mac chooses a real conservative.
Can we hear more from you? You’re a reasonably good writer.
Grimmy
