Right Impulse - Reaching the future today


SHOTS FIRED!

Hardly surprising when a closed minded leftist is closed minded. More surprising when they just come right out and brag about it.

Agreed!


I'll say! They were the complete opposite of conservative. The American Revolution ain't the DAR!

I hope you get around to the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bible, anyway, although the first two are the opposite of conservative, and it's wrong to place the Bible on one side of the political spectrum.

You'll learn to appreciate reading as you grow up. And who knows, you might mature in some other areas too...

They can be considered “classical liberal” (i.e completely different meaning with the term “liberal” now), or “conservative” nowadays.

Conservatism is the idea of "conserving" the traditional values set forth in the Constitution. Incendiary and radical views are not synonymous with leftist ideologies, nor can they be pinned to any one political standpoint. In fact, one can even say the Left and Right wings have become polar opposites of each other in the modern era. Leftism spouts identity politics and victimhood competitions as open mindedness and inclusive, when it is actually the very antithesis of that.

Conservatism does seem to be based more in non-fiction, doesn't it?


These books (and documents) form the basis for the contemporary political philosophy we call conservatism. Though this movement began sometime after WWII and became a national movement with the ascendancy of Ronald Reagan, conservatism is continuation of what was once referred to as classical liberalism.


Just like a leftist list would be critically low on non-fiction because non-fiction require facts, which is NOT a leftist value.

This is not an argument. What is it about reading these works that scares you so much? Might find out you were wrong all along?
As for my thoughts, I'm a widely and well published author. As I'm sure you are...

Utterly untrue. They have come from both sides, but in the last 50 years almost exclusively from the left. Which is why there are so many attempts to ban Huck Finn for using the n-word. You don't suppose it's right-wingers doing that, do you?
Meanwhile there are all these SJWs swearing off "old dead white men" because somehow reading Moby Dick is to capitulate to the patriarchy. Or something.
There isn't a single honest ounce of self-reflection remaining on the entire progressive side.

Do ad hominem attacks constitute a rational argument? BTW, are you a Trump supporter?

Boasting and exaggeration do not constitute a rational argument. Take a chill pill. BTW, are you a Trump supporter?

And my arguments are perfectly valid. You need to read up on ad hominem. You clearly do not understand what it means. In fact, you engaged in it by not addressing my criticism, merely calling them boasting and irrational, telling me to take a chill pill, and then trying to slant the conversation into some kind of political litmus test.
The left has lost any ability to make a valid point that isn't in some way an insult or a dismissal.
By the way, you never answered the question. What do you find so scary about reading a book that challenges your worldview? If not for the fact that deep down you understand how flawed it is...

If you would answer that simple question it will tell me whether it's worth my time to consider anything else you have to say. Otherwise I'd just be wasting my time. I suspect that I already am anyway. You strike me as someone who likes to argue for the sole purpose of listening to(or reading, in this case) your own words. Nothing you can say will turn me into a right-winger, and nothing I can say(I suspect) will be changing your mind either.

In a way, there's nothing less liberal than a progressive.

Still no word from you on your support of Trump, or lack thereof ...

Lol. Conservatives conserve the Constitution and original US values. That's what we are conserving. We are the constitutional originalists that protect the stable consensus system, & "Liberals"/Socialists/Communists/Authoritarians believe this foundational document is subject to changing interpretations to whatever they want based on their emotions etc. all in order undermine our freedoms and impose more government control.
Conservatives believe in individual freedoms, natural rights/ God given freedoms, freedom from as much government control as possible, freedom from tyranny that is high taxes, uniting as states to protect our borders & freedom, Western values etc.

Conservatives don't abort babies and I hear now the liberals are going to allow abortion at 9 months!

Because someone puts it on every list."

Abortion is perfectly fine in certain circumstances. It’s simple logic.

How do you mention kindness and love and then say it isn't a big deal because we aren't critically endangered? You should reread your comment.
