If you need a list, then stay blind and content. 

For you, the Matrix is more real than this place.

I want YOUR list. Use your imagination if you must.  :silly:

Avoid Godwin.

"fear of America was one of the chief tactics used by the Taliban to frighten the Afghan warlords into giving them power.

And it worked, didn't it? It's as good an analogy as the Nazi reference, only with a bit less of the import, since most [educated] people have at least a cursory knowledge of what happened to Germany.

Godwin's law is generally invoked by the same sort of people who object to photos of aborted fetuses being displayed at pro-life demonstrations.

Yep. But it's a decent habit to get into - pulls the fangs of morons who are out for "internet points" instead of discussion. The fact that there are times when comparing the current situation to the rise of the Third Reich are valid tends to get lost in the meme.

I'm not going to let the morons win, so I'll use it judiciously.

What liberties have you lost?  I'm waiting for your list.

Keep waiting then, because you aren't getting one.

People like you will simply argue and apply circle-jerk logic against anything I list as liberties not really being "lost" anyway.

So peace to you and your Normalcy Bias.

I don't partake in such willful blindness.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

LOL!   Nice try, but Homey don't play that around here.

List a freedom you've personally lost.

Before this election cycle the Republic our founders gave us was down to just a barely smoldering ember and the  Trumpets have managed to extinguish that!

Instead of pointing fingers your time would be better spent trying to understand why conservatives cannot get traction with the American voter. 

Perhaps a conservative Council of Trent would be the best use of your energies.

We're waiting for Trump to crash and burn in November.  Trumpism will be dead.  Then we can pick up the pieces.

Such naivety.  You're "waiting till November"....

It's you and yours that are being evicted from the GOP, Sink.   

You're being replaced by Democrats who punch in everyday and who realize they don't want to be Commies.

Furthermore, we've just destroyed the Republican Party last week, and I for one, am loving the chaos.

Like you waited for Obama's legacy to crash and burn?  Like how conservatives were going to pick up the pieces while riding a white horse this election cycle?

Face it:  A conservative Council of Trent is needed, Sink.  Until and unless conservatives figure out who and what they are, they'll remain on the fringe whining and threatening until whatever little support there is is lost--- for good.

What makes you think conservatives have any chance of coming out of this chaos with more political power than before?  Maybe that isn't your intent.

You're late to this party, driftdiver.

I'm speaking of the right-fringe SOCONS in the Party.  The ones who have their own checklist of religious, moral and personality traits.

The ones who, every four years, rant, rave and scream, yet seemingly have no problem with being ignored by their own Party Establishment since 2009. 

Despite being handed two landslide messages to stop Obama.

Trump is going to win this November without them.

Yeah, we'll welcome their vote.  But we won't need them.

I don't see how.  There is no question that the Democrats will come together behind Hillary.  If the GOP remains this fractured, Trump has no chance.  I just don't see where that support can come from unless he can somehow bring back the majority of the Country that has written him off.  I wouldn't tell the Socons to take a hike if I were you.  The GOP simply can't afford it.  Clinton still has to get the nod, but right now her biggest advantage group appears to be #nevertrump in spite of their denial to the contrary.
It's the Supreme Court nominations!

Yes.  You've kicked us out of the party. All the conservatives are leaving, DC.  You can have your crumbling hulk of a party.

Talk about naive.  If Democrats are coming over to you, how come Hillary is tied with Trump in red-state Georgia?  In Utah?  In Mississippi?

Conservatives will clean up your mess in November.

You have that now,DC.  Why not take your Trump support over there and let the rest of us stop Trump?

TBR is, after all a CONSERVATIVE forum, not a REPUBLICAN forum.  And Trump has said he's a Republican, not a conservative.

Good post......one last point...there is nothing wrong with holding a candidate's feet to the fire especially now, before the GE......and especially after the election as it should be with all presidents.....present president excluded of course!

Holding Trump's feet to the fire? He has the best fires. He build the biggest fires. He will make such a deal with fire.  :wink:
