It's not a lack of time of inclination, you have shown yourself to have no limits to either when anyone disagrees with you.
it's a matter of not giving a fuck. you have every right to be wrong. i simply don't care.
Resorting to abuse when losing an argument, again.
just as importanly, i feel no compelling need to spend a significant amount of my time defending conservatism because i'm not a conservative. They are, however, not the simplistic one-dimensional demons you depict them as. The world is multi-coloured and has many shades of grey - it's not black and white.
I'm not saying that they are all identical. Merely that the modern idea of what constitutes conervatism is more defined by Tony Abbott than Malcolm Fraser. Tony didn't lose the top job because of being a crazy reactionary (Malcolm Turnbull doesn't seem to have any significant policy changes). He lost it because he wasn't capable of doing anything without Peta Credlin controlling him. The "shades of grey" in modern conservatism seem to range between Ayn Rand, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and Trump.
It's an issue of trying to convince me to use your meanings for words instead of what most people use.
quite the contrary. it's an issue of refusing to accept your cretinously simplistic definition.
I've referenced conservative organisations which demonstrate my point. Perhaps instead of sending abuse you could reference some that support your position. Show me the conservative organisations which implement your ideas. Give me URLs for their web sites, names of their TV channels, etc. Then we can all compare. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
