re: #83 HappyWarrior

When conservatism stopped being about balanced budgets, localized but effective government, and instead became the ideology of propagandists like Limbaugh and others, that’s when it started becoming the shit show it is today and people like Kristol needs to see that men that they hold to high standards like Reagan, W.F. Buckley, and others had a big part in that transformation.

Put another way, when it stopped being about governing as one of two parties in a democracy and instead became a constant quest for power and seats at any cost
