George Will and William F. Buckley were always two of my favorites, precisely because of style and wit.

During a press conference later, O'Mara was asked if he had any advice for Zimmerman, and he answered, "Pay me."

Ahhhh, George Will. Peace be upon him. He is my favorite conservative talking head and stylistic role model (crotchety libertarian cum nutjob).
He also looks a lot like Kermit the Frog.

After Ryan's budget deal that was essentially a surrender document to the liberals, the conservatives are calling him "Boehner with a beard."hedge wrote:Paul Ryan will be the republican nominee. Book it...
Before the beard, he looked a lot like Eddy Munster.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
He'll be the fallback candidate when Trump inevitably says something that can't be forgiven. Just like he was when they needed a new speaker o' the Haus...

I'm not sure if there's anything that Trump could say that his supporters couldn't forgive.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
Trump's candidacy is the GOP's conservative base giving the GOP Establishment and the MSM a big middle finger. They've had it with the Romneys, the McCains, the Boehners, and now, the Ryans. If the Republican Establishment presidential candidates are going to be perpetually mushy moderates losers, and the Republican Establishment congressmen aren't even going to attempt to govern conservatively, the conservative base has apparently collectively decided to burn the whole house down. Trump is the accelerant.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
Buckley despised the John Birchers, FWIW. His big claim to fame in the 60's was writing a big article denouncing them and casting them out of the conservative movement.Johnette's Daddy wrote:George Will and William F.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
I don't think Trump is particularly conservative, and I don't think he'll beat the PAH. However, he might turn out the base, which is more than Romney managed to do.Dr. Strangelove wrote:Ah yes...if only a "true conservative" would run, he'd be an automatic winner.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
Clive Bundy (the guy FoxNews declared a hero two years ago), his son, and their militia have occupied a building at a National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon and are daring the Federal govt to try and remove them. They've asked fellow 'patriots' to bring all the guns they have. They're ostensibly there in support of an Oregon rancher who's being sent to prison for arson on federal lands. They also are demanding the Federal govt immediately surrender the Malheur National Forest. The rancher himself, one Dwight Hammond, has stated that he didn't ask for and doesn't want their support; they should all just leave.
If a group of armed Muslims took over a federal building conservatives would probably be demanding drone strikes. But a white militia that has previously harbored cop-killers? Why, that's a band of heroic patriots

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
The protesters should call it a "sit in" trying to create a "safe space" where their views are safe from being questioned by anybody. Trigger warnings required. Maybe chant "ranchers' lives matter."
If the law or journalists show up, they should bleat, "We need a little muscle over here!" to beat them up in a very green and sustainable way.
If they don't get their way, they should just burn the whole county down and rob the local CVS store.
