Eupher,
understand why the only retort of so many is coarse and vulgar abuse;
because it's all they know, but you are a cut well above that.
So why do you feel the need to imitate such assholery???

OMYGOD, obviously it was the second coming of Marcus Cicero in the
Roman Senate; we are so blessed, recalling the wisdom of the latter:
* While a nation can survive its Fools, it cannot survive those w/o Honor.
* Politicians are not born, rather they are excreted.
* Within the character of the citizenry lies the welfare and fate of the nation.
* The wise learn from reason, the mediocre from experience, the ignorant
   from necessity and the brutish from instinct.
Sure was enthralling hear such wisdom again!

You are clearly a politician.  You left out "liberals cannot learn at all.  They just repeat the daily talking points" from your "learning" note.

I find it curious, that someone out of one of the most elite academic institutions in Europe would have the interest and inclination to hang around a little-known and little-liked message board.

It's kind of like someone from the Country Club set hanging around Tobacco Road.

You mean like: a son who bangs his dead brother's wife, while skipping out on child support for the stripper he knocked up who worked at the club where he passed out on drugs with a dildo up his ass getting a free pass because he still gets 10% for the big guy from the nation's enemies?

That kind of "w/o honor"?

Quote
* Politicians are not born, rather they are excreted.


And yet, here you are mindlessly hating the guy hated by the career politicians.

* Within the character of the citizenry lies the welfare and fate of the nation.


Why do you side with the people trying to legalize 20 million foreign invaders to replace the citizenry?

The political part is inferred.

However, the sub-forums are numerous and varied in content. Perhaps you were too busy being blinded by your 5-watt brilliance to have seen those.

Yeah. Okay. I've read those too. I appreciate much of what they wrote. If you are looking for a discussion on philosophy, we have other sub-forums for that. Maybe instead of insulting people you could strike up a thread.

What does logic and order say should be done when the ruling elite silence the citizenry while inviting tens of millions of foreign invaders to displace them?

We get that you haven't ever had a real job where your prospects of being hired or your wage rate was undercut by illegal immigrants, but for the people who actually have to work for a living (read: make a nation, society, and culture function) it's a life-destroying threat.

It requires tangible solutions and - apart from open violence - politics is the arena of remedy.

There are many other such societal threats, such as the mass hysteria to eradicate gender definitions, re-vomiting socialism, etc.

Now that Snugs has handed you your ass, maybe you can come down from your throne and join the rest of us curs.

After all, most of us have read and studied the products from the gentlemen you so laboriously and judiciously pecked out.

But why should we engage with a turd whose only product has been - so far, at least - to stink? Here's a hint - stink less, engage more without condescension and insults, and yes, we'll continue to hand your ass to you until you learn how to play nice.

Anyway, I  don't hate Trump, rather I choose to ignore him.
My own late sister was a good friend of Trump's eldest sister and knew him quite well, labeling him
an incorrigible self-absorbed Narcissist.
His wise Scot/Gael Mother (the Hebrides) understood his character, sending him to the NY Military
Academy as a teen while hoping for betterment, unfortunately to no avail.
Later in college he amused himself w/varsity baseball, football, golf, lacrosse and little else.
A few years later he was drafted during Viet-Nam and dodged it by asserting bone-spurs in his ankles;
which his Pop paid off a Tennant Doctor to affirm, despite his years of rigorous college athletics.
Incidentally Trump's draft behavior mimics that of his GranPa Freddy who pulled a similar stunt
in pre-WW1 Germany, for which he was sentenced to death unless he immediately left Bavaria.
So much for Trump's honor and integrity when faced w/an issue of principle!

You brought up "honor." Does that seem honorable?

"But I don't support any politicians!" I hear you bleat.

Sure. Sure. You have a thousand vague complaints about Trump, but you can't even name the corrupt careerist let alone stand to be reminded of their conduct.

It's not like anything I listed is untrue. If you are too tender to confront real human behavior you should crawl back to your cloistered environs and stay there. Real life happens out here.

Back to President Trump's speech yesterday, it was great to see him back and hear that he isn't just going to fade away.  He called xiden to task on many things and was well received by the crowd.

------------------------
Indeed there are numerous pretentious site morons running off at the mouth but your beyond
brainless definition gets the Goober Award for stupidity by a landslide!
Conservatism since Pericles never had anything to do w/politics and/or its policies. ZERO, GOT IT!!!!!
It's essence, are timeless and unchanging prescriptions and principles that enable Man, his Family,
Clan and Society to survive and thrive.
The precept that Man cannot kill his fellow Man, was a Conservative Rule long before it became a Commandment for the most basic and obvious of reasons; because its contrary;
THAT MAN CAN KILL HIS FELLOW MAN WOULD DESRTOY MAN, HIS FAMILY, CLAN AND SOCIETY !!!!!

Pericles oversaw the initial Athenian war effort against the Spartan League in the Second Peloponnesian War. He chose a strategy of denying the Spartans land engagements where the Spartans excelled, opting to leverage Athenian naval superiority to starve the League of commerce and logistics (read: kill people to bankrupt and starve others into submission).

Of course, it can be argued that Athenian hesitation to send reinforcements to Corcyra in a timely manner when the latter begged for relief was the display of weakness that enticed Corinth and Megara to finalize their military adventure; which became the keystone to the war.

If you are going to claim violence - not even under judicious and constrained practice - has no place in conservative principles I say it's you who are brainless. You do nothing but present yourself and others as slaves to every would-be tyrant. There is nothing conservative about that.

You're just a fraud and a coward hiding behind a veneer of scholarship.
