First, I think all the generations on this board are sharing their outrage. Second, besides the repeated nuisance threads I find this site to be an almost perfect aggregate for me of local Louisiana news, typically beating local outlets with accurate information, national news because of all the many Tiger fans throughout the country and a really good place to discuss international news because of the number of people who have actually worked in government or in various countries.
This is not a boomer vs the rest issue. In fact that is a progressive take on Generational Theory which has its pros and cons. The left is using the generation blame game just as they are Blacks, while being controlled completely by boomers.
Conservatives should take the position and are in a position in which they prioritize honoring their parents, and taking care of their children.

Are you saying Boomers are Conservative?
Posted on 7/12/20 at 11:31 am to BigSalmon
Some younger folks think the Boomer moniker is a pejorative. Nope! I like it! Boomers are the folks you whining millennials, Gen XYZ'ers hope don't spend all the inheritance y'all think you're entitled to.

Read This Boomer The "national conservative movement" elected Trump. And if Trump don't get it done...they have gunned up, and with each passing day/outrage (defund the Police, move Urban heathen into stable God-fearing communities, etc.)...they are building up pressure to take non-political action. And when Rule of Law breathes it's last breath...they will. But no particular and calculated action will begin this (reactionary) enterprise; like the 'Arab Spring or Syrian war'...it'll be some normal and mundane event that breaks the dam. Could be when Israel assassinates Assad, and Russia jumps in...or when some innocent Church group is slain by BLM/Antifa Anarchists. We can't "set ourselves free"...events will.
This ^^^ is true. The civil unrest and degradation of law and order created by the Dim Marxists will be the eventual catalyst for extreme pushback by conservative patriots against Marxist tyranny. It won't be pleasant but once the madness is crushed there's a very good chance the leftists will lay low for decades.

Well, that's silly. Wasting resources doesn't help enervation. Henry Ford saw the waste of burned wood and so he came up with the enervation of charcoal.

It is kind of like asking someone to smell your fart. Your post, similarly, reminds me of aerated shite.
Congratulations I guess.
Oh, and one more thing...frick you.

That was a lot of words to basically say nothing. I would have preferred you have said frick you, I could say right back at you and I could go get a beer and you could go do whatever silly fools like you do when you aren't posting nonsense.

True, I would gladly forgo monthly SS benefits if the government would pay me a lump sum for all the SS taxes the wife and myself have paid to the federal government the past 40-45 years. I would estimate that lump sum would easily be over a million dollars..probably quite a bit more if you factor in an annual growth rate of 4-5%.

I'm no longer a Republican, so, as the Republican Party defines the term "Conservative", I doubt that they would consider me to be one of their Conservative supporters.
These are Revolutionary Times. The old terms "Liberal" and "Conservative" no longer have any meaning, IMHO.

I disagree, if it was a "national conservative movement", the Republicans would have take the House, made big gains in the Senate, and won the popular vote. Voters just really hated Hillary.

Federal issues are important because our federal government has grown so large and intrusive that local and state governments often have to operate with a hand tied around their back due to federal regulations and funding from the feds that always come with strings.
At the same time, I agree with the article’s premise that conservatives would be wise to place a greater emphasis on local issues. All politics is local, and local races and issues have a huge hand in driving turnout. If conservatives can improve their ability to govern and sell small government ideas at the local level, then they will enjoy better turnout that will help elect more conservatives to Congress, the Senate, and the White House.
This is one of the reasons I started getting involved in local politics. Too often, in cities, Republicans just assume no one will listen and that they have no power, when they have far more than they know to influence public opinion and policy. Just look at the Monroe Mayoral election yesterday. Conservatives showed up to elect an independent mayor in a city that’s 65% black democrats with an incumbent black mayor.
Republicans need to show that they can govern at the local level, and in doing so, they will grow their bench of candidates, widen their coalition of voters, and increase their gains up the chain of federalism to more electoral victories at the federal level.
Finally, logic should inform your arguments, but it cannot be your only argument. Logic should form your philosophy and policies, but policies are sold with emotion. The logical side of the brain is not what makes decisions. Decision-making is made by the emotional part of the brain which houses the fight/flight decision center. Logic is used to inform, but emotion is how you sell. You don’t sell statistics, you sell safety and fear. You don’t sell process, you sell justice.
The left wins because they cannot use logic in an argument. They’re arguing for illogical policies with illogical outcomes, so they perfect the art of emotional manipulation. Republicans try too hard to sway people with logic without conveying any real feelings to graft it to. Because people feel a greater emotional connection to the left’s position, in the ballot box, even if the logic for the right seems more solid, more times than not, they will pull the lever for the side which gave them a greater emotional connection.
