:patriot:  and a  :flag:

Psssst.  I'm enjoying my newfound reputation as a "Trumpster" although I disagree with a good number of his policies.  I'd much rather be bitching and moaning about those policies I don't like than cheering on the Marxists.  Strange bedfellows some have made there.

So, so true!   :beer:

That's all you got? 

In case you haven't noticed, manipulation does not work on the Principled. 

You failed, spectacularly.

One man's principle is another man's treason.  To each his own.  Be happy with your choice.  :)

From being declared a Hillary-supporter for voting for Castle to suggesting treason because we do not seig-heil Trump is a legacy I will never forget.

We are happy.

That is why we are laughing at the vain and silly attempts to manipulate people to accept your positions regarding Trump - even to the point of masquerades of reverse psychology to 'win' others over to your POV.

It's way too soon to talk about the I-word in my opinion, even if that's an eventual possibility (one in a quarter million)

I think it is beyond stupid and a mild form of sedition that the media in concert with the Left is working to find any such angle to delegitimize Trump as President and push for an impeachment.

Of course there is blood in the water that Trump has put there and he has done himself absolutely no favors with his lack of self-control, run-of-his-mouth and eyebrow raising handling of his administration.

As has always been said - Trump is his own worst enemy, and it's pathetic to watch his faithful go to the lengths they do to demand everyone cut him slack, to the point of suggesting that failure to support Trump is treason.

I have not attempted to manipulate, change your mind, or otherwise.  You are mistaken if you think I have.  I am simply a Constitutional Conservative that finds much posted here by those of you that align yourself with Democrats to be ridiculous at best and treasonous at worst with varying degrees in between.  That's my opinion and I am entitled to have one whether you agree or not, just as you are entitled to have yours.  As I said earlier, to each his own.

Whatever @Weird Tolkienish Figure .... I sure hope you're not mad at me.   :whistle:

I actually just wanted to give folks a glimpse at where this is going......my hope was to horrify them.


BTW.. thanks for removing that offensive avatar.  I do appreciate that.

Hmmm.  You call us stupid, try to manipulate us and then when that doesn't work, bring on the snark.  Nice....

I was actually feeling just a tiny bit sorry for you.  Silly me.

There you go again.  I did not say failure to support Trump was treasonous.  Subverting the Constitution is treason.  There is a difference.  But you knew that.  ;)

Your compatriot from VA that you toasted admitted to so doing with chortles of glee that she thinks she fooled a few gullible souls here.  I do not think you were ignorant of those efforts.

There you go again.  I did not say failure to support Trump was treasonous.

Oh really??? I guess you forgot to read what you posted a few minutes earlier:

Well there is your opinion.  You are indeed entitled to it, and unlike you - we will not suggest treason because you do not agree with us in lockstep.

   There you go again @anubias confusing Real Conservatives with PRINCIPLES with Dems, the similarity ends there, try to think outside the box, it's not all black and white, Trump Lovers or Trump Haters.

Principled Conservatives don't enjoy at watching the Democrats attempt to remove a duly elected POTUS.  At least I don't consider that to be "principled".  You obviously disagree.

@anubias all this is all just media speculation at this point, Even Principled Conservatives will rise up and demand accountability if the Dems/MSM try and Impeach our duly elected President, till then we'll just watch the Trump Train roll on down the tracks and convince ourselves (quietly) that the bridge ain't out ahead.

I was the one who called her on it.  I called her a Patriot and saluted her for her efforts; because whatever you think of @Right_in_Virginia , she does love her country.  I didn't agree with her methods or I would not have called her on it.

Lockstep?  Please.  You sound like a Democrat.  They love to accuse Conservatives of being fascists and nazis.  You are doing a good job of following their playbook.

Being happy that a sitting POTUS duly elected is being attacked by nefarious methods isn't a Conservative or Principled value imo.  We obviously disagree on our brand of Conservatism.

Actually, if a "duly elected POTUS" committed high crimes and misdemeanors, then yes, he should be removed from office, regardless of party affiliation. Believing that is what "principled" means.

We've been shown no evidence of Pres. Trump having done so. Yet. So talk of impeachment is currently unwarranted.

Nobody has said they were happy, being right doesn't equal happy. I wonder if you were such a fierce defender of the last POTUS?

Does anyone remember how the radical left media tried to "talk" the economy down during the Bush presidency, especially during his first term?  I sure do.  The Democrats finally managed to tank the economy under Bush so they could blame him and the GOP (with a little extra help from Schumer, Waters and Frank).

This is the same thing... only in this case...... they're trying to "talk" Trump into an impeachment.  The main question I have is.... are we going to let them get away with it this time?

   Good Question @XenaLee and my guess would be 90% of Briefers would rise up and protest if the evidence doesn't rise to the charges.
   This is still a Constitutional Representative Republic and were not gonna let this go, if we can help it, no matter who's sitting in the White House.  IMHO

I do not tie my love of country to a politician, a party and whatever narrative promotes them as the be-all, end-all encapsulation of what it means to be American.  Judging by her own posts, I surmise she is more in love with those things than the principles that used to govern what it meant to be an American Christian Conservative.  After all, it's those principles she has recently as this week said were irrelevant and cannot win elections (meaning we need to dump them to embrace the neo-populism of Trump).

Lockstep?  Please.  You sound like a Democrat.  They love to accuse Conservatives of being fascists and nazis.  You are doing a good job of following their playbook.

Really?  I'm not the one who suggested treason because we do not run to Trump's defense.  YOU DID.  So you are projecting there.

Being happy that a sitting POTUS duly elected is being attacked by nefarious methods isn't a Conservative or Principled value imo. 

We're not are happy with it.  We just expected it.  We were happy with the choices we made to vote our conscience to much disparagement and threat and we're content to sit back and watch the implosion we warned would happen if a lifelong liberal NYC Democrat was the guy you chose to be your leader.  You made that choice - so you live with the consequences.  We're not going to back you or defend a President who has vowed to primary every Conservative who does not support him, and whom almost daily feeds the Machine new ammunition to use against him because he cannot control his thumbs, his mouth or his narcissism.

We obviously disagree on our brand of Conservatism.

That we do.
