Well, yeah. Sparky's peach cobbler donuts.

I look at it this way--Dunkin does those apple crumb donuts every now and then.

How hard could it be to do something similar using peach filling?

Oh yeah--and anti-Paul.  That's what brought me here.

Lurked at DU for a bit during the 2000 election season, when a poster there mentioned CU and went there to check it out.  Same issues as everyone else after that, the Rontards, Gator going off the deep end, CU crashing and having to re-sign up.  Decided to cool it on the forums for a while and found this place with most of the people from CU.

Frank...laughter...fattening food...and the occasional boobies.

Frank: Liked his style of writing.

Laughter: Who can't enjoy laughing at the DUmmies.

Fattening food: BACON.

And the occasional boobies: At my age it doesn't take much to make me happy.

Followed Reb, Thor and Eupher from military.com to usmilnet.com to here.

Makes me sound like a stalker  :thatsright:

They really did invite me here ....  :shucks:

Win One For The Gipper told me about CU when we were at Free Republic.
I posted at CU until a whole lot of folks got fed up with Gator and his crap, and Reb decided to open the doors here. If I may brag a little I helped come up with the name Conservative Cave.  :-)
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy General Order #23. 

Which is not to ever be confused with General Order #24

General Order 24: An order to destroy all life on an entire planet. This order has been given by Captain Garth (Antos IV) and Captain Kirk (Eminiar VII). On neither occasion was the order actually fulfilled.

That is the same road map I followed to get here.

Did you happen to get banned at RightNation too?

It's been so long ago I didn't know if I was remembering the RightNation and RightSociety stuff correctly.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

I left then after a long time had poassed I found out my account was still active and self deleted from that place.

Back in the old Yahoo board days I ran into a poster named GoreBites.  S/he invited me to join CU.  At the time I didn't join, but did lurk.  From there I found FR and the DUmp, then CC.

I used to post on the weekly boards for Ann Coulter's column until Yahoo shuttered their boards for Op-Eds.  I found CU shortly before a major crash, then registered here , but never went back to CU.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I never heard of Conservative Cave until a couple of years ago, I'm on the DUFU Ping List at FR and I got the Ping about the Will Pitt/Bobo fight where Pitt threatened Bobo and was banned at DU, there was a link in the DUFU to CC so I clicked on it and really liked it here.

Coach let me know about the Cave, about two months after the creation (IIRC).

I think it was Traves who posted in the comments section of Newsbusters:

"Would you like to read the DemocraticUnderground without actually having to go there?  Go here:  CC link."  

So I came here principally to keep an eye on the idiot liberals, but enjoy all the other sections as well.  

That's exactly how I got here.  Same NB post you are referencing.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I was a member at FR and the "old" CU, but didn't really fit in...



I stuck my nose into CC one day...



found a pie on the kitchen counter...



and I knew this was the place for me.
