Surprised it took this long.

I finally let those idiots over in Conservatism goad me into getting myself banned from there.

Conservatives aren't exactly known for their tolerance of dissenting opinions, and I'm one opinionated invertebrate.

Apparently Heirtoruin was granted mod privileges after the last troll attack by forces unknown. While one of the more open minded of the Cons that hang out there (musician and scientist, yet conservative, go figure), I'd been attacking some of his favorite positions a lot lately. Guess I struck a nerve.

Oh well. I should be finishing these last few songs for Carbon anyway.
Maybe I'll check back in a week or so....

heirtoruin is too caught up in his own sense of ego.

What I mean to say is that I lost all respect for him when he lowered himself under the wings of melvin. Even the smartest scientist will give in to a self-reinforcing sense of resentment and confirming angst.

"Conservatism" ceased to have any meaning for me since i realised i was sold "Libertariansim" under the brand name "Conservatism" and wised up.




you might still think i'm crazy, but hell at least i'm consistent!

Yeah, see, that's one of the big problems I have with the whole deal; nothing means what it's supposed to mean. Things get co opted all the time.

Conservative used to mean small govt, low taxes, minimal but effective regulation, etc. Then the theocrats slimed their way in. Then the corporate Libertarianism.

I can relate to a lot of paleo-conservative thought, but only within the context of effective social safety nets, proper regulation, etc.

Your arguments here sound a lot like the ones you attacked when used on you. Sounds like a hypocrite.
