From YouTube:
When Coca-Cola changed its recipe and rebranded itself as New Coke, the world recoiled in horror. What does New Coke have to do with conservative politics? Who is the classic conservative and who is the new conservative? Does the marketing plan of Pepsi resemble progressivism?

I would say that conservatism in the GOP is an aberration, a blip in history. The Republican Party was originally a radical, progressive party and the Democrats were conservative. The dems moved left of the GOP in the 2oth century and what few conservatives there actually are in politics, had to go somewhere. They will be (are being? have been?) purged from the GOP, eventually.
I wouldn’t say that conservatives have a party. I would also argue that conservative is a label we need to reconsider, is what we want still existent to conserve?
Off topic, check this raging lib and wish him a happy Confederate Memorial Day!

I was thinking about my comment above, and put my tin foil hat on.
Today we see neocons and rinos turning the GOP left, but the GOP started out on the left.
The dems were the right, then they went left, presumably they had their version of rinos.
Could it have been planned? Could the short period of GOP “conservatism” have been a ruse, part of the “long march”?
How else do we end up with two parties on the left if 50% of the voters are “conservative”? The alternative is that the polls are wrong and liberalism is actually the dominant ideology.
Do we have a two party system? Or do we have one party showing two sides of the same agenda? I don’t think most people even know what conservatism is. But I know what is right and moral. And it is neither political party.
One party or two, my question is still is it by design or is it organic? For the record, I hope it is by design, because if its organic then we are a tiny minority.
I would vote for Reagan in a heartbeat… but I wouldn’t vote for any of the “tea=party” conservatives. They wouldn’t vote for Reagan either. That’s the fallacy of your argument. BTW, been drinking Pepsi products my whole life.
great comments. yes, the libs went right and the GOP is nowhere. but why didn’t we all write in Ron Paul? where is the American political will?
we all seem entertained into a stupor and dumned down by our food. I agree with above—-
it was all planned.
game over for the .00001%—what’s happening in Egypt isn’t in the script. the Irish are waking up.
Brazil is waking up. Peru is waking up.
