re: #31 Sharmuta

Conservative ideology- in the Goldwater sense of the term- doesn’t rely on Americans feeling victimized. It’s a self-reliant ideology, based on fiscal responsibility and individual rights. We’re not victims. We’re Americans with rights.

Promoting victimization is the style of other ideologies- not conservatism as I know it, but if this is what the right wants to promote and use to sway the electorate- they can count me out. They can also count on electoral defeats. They’re unappealing.

That was directed at Al, yes?
