re: #73 Targetpractice

That’s what gets me, Trump is showing in real time just how much of a joke that conservative foreign policy is, yet Rubin is so dedicated to her ideology that she is arguing that it’s Warren that has to prove her ideas will work “in the real world.” Since when have conservatives given a shit about the “real world” when they can instead continue to operate in a Cold War fantasy about how the rest of the “free world” is so dependent upon the might of the United States that they will always take our lead without question?

Hi.

I’m finally starting to feel better.

On the comment, months ago when Jennifer Rubin started sounding reasonable, I pointed out she has not denounced conservatism, just Trump. She’d be just fine with every one of these policies if a sane-sounding Republican President was promoting them.

Several people were not happy with that. Conservatism is a religion, and until she renounces conservatism, everything she writes has to be viewed through that lens.

Jennifer Rubin and others like her are using the conservative version of Christian flirty fishing. She sounds good, with the idea of roping in liberals so she can later present conservative ideas as reasonable.

She is no different than any other conservative pundit out there saying “well if the Democrats just ran like Republicans, I could get behind them.”
