I never thought she was stupid. I would have guessed that she'd be in agreement with Kristol and Colin Powell. I'm pretty sure her old boss is, as horrific a president as he was.

that were most of what underlay conservatism, a defined conservative philosophy that would form a foundation for conservative ideals and policy. Such as the value of protecting what is proven to work.

Liberalism has centuries of intellectual and governmental underpinnings, spreading with the Enlightenment, but conservatism has nothing like that.

Kristol and company, including his father, were either too late, or too principled, or both.

Others, who inflamed and harnessed the worst of those gut-level reactions for their purposes, won out -- and they purged what there was of traditional conservative ideals from the GOP. (Protecting what was proven to work, and the altruism they shared with liberals, were big problems for wealthy predators.)

That left the worst of conservative personality reactions -- fear of change and hostility toward what is different -- to be inflamed and directed against the remaining, unconquered half of the population. They succeeded so well they've lost control, but the monster they created is still working for them.

time for shows to quit giving her a platform to talk about her thoughts on anything political. Can’t believe the view had her on the other day.

Illegal and unnecessary invasion of Iraq we were lied into, and now tfg, Jan 06 insurrection, it’s always “move forward” for “the good of the nation”, never hold any GOP leader accountable for anything. Then take a nothing burger like Benghazi and put it on endless repeat with the help of the media. It’s sickening, and it needs to stop…

that Kristol has moved.

As to condi, remember that she was largely ignored by those big repug boys. I'm not interested in her at all.
