re: #64 Killgore Trout

Hmmm…I’ll have to add that to my list. My thinking is that “conservatism” has taken a wrong turn and it seems to be at a dead end. But looking back at Lincoln, he was a practical, “progressive” and forward looking president. This current strain of conservatism might be at the end but the consept can (and probably will) continue in a different form.

I would hope so, because the alternative, modern liberalism, will leave the West much like the Roman Empire, as the citizens live off the bread and circuses supplied by the state.
