Take away the pretty face and smooth demeanor (obama?) and you'll see Tulsi as I see her - just another leftist.
Exactly, just another far left, egomaniac, partisan POLITICIAN.
I don't get why any self respecting conservative would want anything to do with her.
The only real conservatives left in America are the classical liberals. And, I, for one, am offended to have to accept an adjective in order to placate an ever-growing demograph of confused leftists who have taken it upon themselves to speak for conservatism these days.
Define "
real conservatives".... are paleo-conservatives real? what about the social conservatives ? is conservatism relative or is it absolute?
I don't consider myself a conservative
at all and my philosophy draws heavily from classical liberalism.
I just had a conservative tell me that rights came from the federal government the other day. And that's only the tip of the iceberg, it gets worse.
In my experience, improper of understanding of rights, what they are and where they come from is VERY common among both "conservatives" and "liberals"... so I don't think it's a good marker of whether an individual is a "conservative" or a "liberal" or a <fill in ideology here>.
Anyway. What's important here is the bastardization of the political process itself. Very few seem to care about that. It doesn't really matter who gets elected. The course of history needs changed, else the electorate will never have any say so in who gets nominated.
Agreed, the American Political process is just BREAD & CIRCUSES.
