There's been a severe degradation of the conversation level since the old forum was taken down.  The Regeneracy hasn't helped either.  I think a lot of people here were expecting something other than what happened.

I miss Brian Rush.

I found him to be intelligent. I didn't always agree with him but he was at least intelligent. But I find it difficult to miss someone I know only from an internet forum. Much like I don't consider Facebook "friends" to actually be friends.

No. Changing horses as necessary. I am becoming much more conservative on foreign policy... and I warn conservatives that they had better find something worthy of preserving.

Really? So you've dropped your A Fascist Under Every Bed and Woe is me I'm Uber-depressed shtick? From where I sit I don't bloody think so. Eric is of course convinced that his astrological whatnots explain everything and well most of the left has stayed on the left, the right on the right.

Becoming more conservative in what way? In that you don't want an aggressive withdrawal from empire building?

I'm not convinced of the superiority of any generation. Boomer elites are of course the worst things to happen to American political life for a very long time -- the exploiters who insist that the be seen as benefactors to those that they abuse and cheat. Like Demagogue Don.

I disagree. Boomers are pehaps the worst generation ever spawned. But I'm biased and admit that I am.

As for Daddy, you know he has benefited far more people than any of the Democrats have....he owns businesses which means he's hired people. They just want to pick my pocket and spend it on wars and welfare.

We are going to see a coalition emerge across generations, one that repudiates the collective bad habits of America and pushes new, workable solutions.

Already happening. Those Millies that want nothing to do with the left are fully in our camp, we're going to get Z and already had X. We just need to hammer home the rejection of identity politics. As I said they either apply to everyone or no one.

The people who seem to complain most about oppression as a group are under-educated white people of the Mountain and Deep South. They seem to have found the wrong solution in you-know-who.

Actually those who complain the most about systemic racism and sexism are in fact university educated white petty-bourgeois liberals. The Mountain and Southern Underclass whites just want a job. You'd know that had you ever been to either area and talked with said people. Of course that would require you to do two things you'd find very difficult PBR. The first is removing your head from your anal cavity, the second is leaving your house.
