Communities with insults, is that how a true "conservative" acts? How about a true Christian? Or a great teacher, do they communicate thoughts through insults?
It isn't necessary. And maybe you didn't start it? But you think anybody looking at your posts compels people to consider conservatism? The reason I ask is because the label of conservative seems to be a big deal to you. Well,... that and insults.

About 2% of the population do indeed try to make it one.
In 1968 the mental disorder was added to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)
It is properly called: DEPERSONALIZATION AND DEREALIZATION DISORDER
https://www.mayoclinic.org/...-causes/syc-20352911
Medical and mental health professionals want to treat people for the illness so that they can lead normal and productive lives.
Zuckerberg wants to mainstream, enable and sell the mental illness so that more people can join him in it.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 11-14-2021).]

You started with the insults toward me because you falsely interpreted my post and i.wouldn't take that position. And still it seems you're deflecting from the facts.
Where exactly did I say non -Christians can't lead? Exactly where? Where did I say Ben cant?
Rinse, is Orthodox Judaism a Talmudic religion? After you posted I looked at their official sites specifically to see what they believe because I didn't know. It is one of those. Individual Sikhs, muslims, Hindus, agnostics, atheists all should be weighed for bias by Christians.
I feel it's wise to know the core beliefs of any political activist. I'm sure you agree that it colors or directs their true views when it comes to religion with politics.

That comes across as more reasonable than the second time that you conversed in this thread, when you said this:

The Republican voter group is a largely Christian contingency or has a belief in Jesus Christ as God. A person who is belligerent to that belief who is PROMOTED as a voice of leadership for that group should be openly presented as such on the subject of Christ. |

When I read that, it seemed like you had already formed a strongly negative estimation of Ben Shapiro, and it wasn't at all clear to me that it was based on anything that Ben Shapiro had actually said or done.
Hope this helps to calm the waters of discourse and illuminate the Topic in a light that is revealing, but also reassuringly warm and lifelike, like the lumens from GE's product line of Natural Daylight Fluorescent Tubes.
Specificity often clarifies.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 11-15-2021).]

Donald Trump is not a conservative, but ran on conservative planks. Hannity is not either. Pat Buchanan is in the conservative sphere of practice. Rush Limbaugh was not. He convinced people that Republican means conservative. Now most Republicans believe that they are, when in fact they are moderates.
I don't accuse people. People reveal beliefs that aren't conservative and I illustrate how they are not conservative. It would be stupid to make a claim that isnt supported. My approach is to expose that stupidity by showing that there is no support for a claim.
Ben Shapiro is who the Deep State wants you to listen to. Same with Hannity and Huckabee. Shills. They're installed to address an age demographic.

It might help if we could all get on the same page, that in knowing the definition of Conservatism being discussed.
Seems to me there are several levels of Conservatism just as there are several distinct levels of other disciplines/beliefs/social values.

Yes, you're right on that. Definitions get blurred through over-extension and sometimes bastardized use.

"Bastardized" would imply anything that doesn't comply with your or my definition/perspective.

But the term isn't so subjective in reality.
To me basterdizing was what Limbaugh wrongly told his listeners, and I was one of them.
When Hannity and Huckabee are shilling for more Afghans or calling for wars and we believe they are conservative voices, we accept a stretching of the definition.
But the definition and policies don't really change. It isn't really subjective.

As is, your, my, our and everyone's else's perspectives. I may not be 100% right all the time but neither is anyone else.
Something I'm willing to admit. Some aren't.
