"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative." John Stuart Mill
Bill Buckley had an influence on me when I was young. I still agree with his writing on many things, certainly not all. The modern conservative movement has very little in common with Buckley. He would definitely fall into the RINO group that modern conservatives have such a disdain for. Trump hits a home run with some who are not happy with the way the government is run. Ironically, it is the election of people like Trump that guarantees that none of their agenda will come to pass. Liberal democrats use to be in the same boat. Then Bill Clinton came along and show them that they could get most of their agenda enacted, but it had to be done through comprise and one piece at a time. I see posters here that they are unwilling to comprise on anything. To me, they are just proving John Stuart Mill correct. As a liberal, I hope keep on doing just what they are doing, Pounding their chests over victories that will do nothing other than help the democrats keep their agenda in place and eventually get more of it passed.
