I might not agree with this kid but he represents the way many of us feel about the whole damn conservative movement. But no, we'll let those guys who propped up McCain lead the way. After all, we've apparently given up on appealing to any youth movement. Instead we'll make the young, aggressive, passionate people shine the shoes of the oldsters. <BR/><BR/>Just because they were born first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-42087067381591084922009-03-07T17:17:00.000-05:002009-03-07T17:17:00.000-05:00Okay, Who pissed in his Cornflakes?

So I was busy with little time for naval gazing.<BR/><BR/>I'm still married to the same man -- 41 years this July -- and the two asthmatics are grown and married with children of their own. Our daughter is an ER nurse and our son is an electrician.<BR/><BR/>Our son, who's almost 40, recently reconnected with an old high school friend. The friend was always a pothead, always a laid-back liberal kinda guy, and he has always been employed.<BR/><BR/>He told my son that he was reading what the Dems want to do and reading what the Repubs want to do and came to the conclusion, "God, I think I'm really a Republican!"<BR/><BR/>...Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772310179223546476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-76675900633279187312009-03-07T01:24:00.000-05:002009-03-07T01:24:00.000-05:00Paul Zummo: That's nonsense.

If Mr. McCain will stop being Mr. Cranky Old Man for a moment, he could tell you that the folks that post over at Taki's Magazine aren't exactly the type to buy into the MSM narrative hook, line, and sinker.<BR/><BR/>Like 'em, love 'em, or hate 'em, the Taki guys aren't happy with the state of the conservative movement.<BR/><BR/>(Btw, what was the deal with the Jonathan Krohn presentation at CPAC?
