It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of
a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into
privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing
algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the
planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.
Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.
Ann Coulter recently appeared on the Today show to complain that the "liberal establishment" constantly pigeonholes conservatives as greedy, bigoted, hateful, violent religious fundamentalists who are ignorant to boot. Coulter, who writes of Islamic nations that "we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" says the "liberal establishment" doesn't give conservatives the space to articulate their REAL principles.
So, OK, we figured, why not give conservatives just a bit of our space? We set up a thread on our bulletin board asking for something that according to Ann Coulter should be ridiculously simple: a no-spin, intelligent, facutally-supported, logical and complete articulation of conservative principles that doesn't boil down to greed, bigotry, partisan rhetoric, fundamentalist Christianity or ignorance.
(As usual, we've had a few libertarians post their screeds on other threads, but libertarianism and conservatism just ain't the same thing. Libertarianism actually is based on fundamental principles, although we happen to believe many of those fundamental principles are morally bereft and factually dubious. So please, no Ann Raynders.)
Should be easy, right? Well, we've had exactly zero respondents to that thread as of today. Wonder why?
Come on, you principled conservatives. Put your money where your mouth is. Show us.
