#4 That is a big change from her Wyoming cowboyish lifestyle. Rural Virginia will likely feel claustrophobic after all the time living her rugged pioneer existence that epitomized American individualism. Maybe she needed a more centralized HQ for her upcoming presidential bid, but what a sacrifice.

#7 Look at it this way, with her leaving Wyoming, the average IQ will go up a few tenths of a percentage point and the air will be cleaner. As for Virginia, they are no longer considered a southern state and are welcome to keep things such as Liz 'Super RINO' Cheney.

#10 /\ True, but some might say we all "lost". Again, some might say that. Something of an early "state's rights" advocate I suppose. It was a popular movement in what we know today as.... Red States.

Yes, that would be where today's great American migration appears to be headed. Could be the warmer weather and longer golf season. I suppose we'll have to draw our own conclusions.

Digression ended.

Son, when they dump your ashes in a cement mixer and make a parking lot for the Eunuchs they're making their new future out of they're going to say you're a loser who shouldn't have lost if he didn't like this. If Orwell couldn't get any mercy from the communists in _Homage to Catalonia_ you're not going to get any mercy from The Science.

#17 Lee should be honored because of what he did in the post-Civil War period. The situation could have degenerated into generational long active guerilla war. Lee however set the example by his action of 'enough is enough'.

#26 I came to make fun of the fact that Liz was finally having to buy VA plates, but instead I witnessed a Waffle House fistfight about the Civil War. It reminds me of melee on the Band of Brothers transport ship that was touched off by an opinion on Capt Sobel that everybody hated.

My personal preference is for a big tent here. “No True Conservatives” is an endlessly shrinking set. We all come from different backgrounds and by different pathways, and sometimes draw different conclusions as a result.
