Conservatives don't get involved in government, period.   They see government as a 'necessary evil', but would rather get involved with other things,  which is why liberals fill the void.     

And therein lies the problem.  By not getting involved we effectively forfeit.

And the same is true for news media, entertainment media, and education.

LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE PLAYING FIELD: The question of forced union dues on non-members is before the SCOTUS in a setting where it's clear most of the dues have been spent on political activism;

PPH is getting fed funds cut ; the crony capitalist "green" projects will not continue; the confected "green" suits settled by the ePA which put millions into the plantiffs' coffers are ending;

the phony baloney identity political players of the multiple "civil rights" offices in the fed govt are being shuttered; the handouts thru "grants" to activist left wing "non-profits" will be cut. Perez is unable to raise much money.

The IRS will begin dealing fairly with conservative groups seeking tax exempt status..

I'd say this is the civilian version of cutting off the enemies' supply routes.

Most of the supposedly offending industrial "greenhouse gasses" are being produced by China and India, neither of which have any intention of slowing their development for the same of a phony international agreement.

Win ! Win ! Win !

I've argued this topic with Liberals.    For some reason you can't make them grasp the fact that India and China are *NOT*  going to cut back on Fossil Fuel usage,  and so even if their   stupid cult theory were true,   the worst offenders are not going to stop no matter what they do.   


Fortunately their stupid theory is not true.   It's not even close to true.

It's out of extreme guilt....that they look the other way regarding China and India's contribution to smog/pollution.

While we were having our Industrial Revolution they were doing brain surgery without anesthetic.

I think it was George Orwell who noted that there are a certain class of British Ladies that are "Oh so concerned"  about Children...  so long as they are brown and live 5,000 miles away.
