If you consider Some Schmo to be a conservative who holds conservative principles. Show me something conservative about the RINOs I've named.Kishkumen wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 12:49 pmAjax's version of RINO=person with a brain, self respect, and a conscience who also happens to be conservative.ajax18 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 3:17 pmI'd like to know exactly which Uniparty RINOs were considered the historical experts on this question?

And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Regarding Nikki Haley: A much shorter list would be all the stances Haley has taken that were not conservative. Maybe you'll list them for us--however, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Re: Latest Survey Ranking U.S. Presidents
I don't consider Some Schmo to be a conservative. What did I write that could give you, or anyone else, such an idea? If you can't think of what makes the traditional conservatives conservative, then I don't know how to help you. You seem to think a conservative is a Trump cultist. So, it would seem to be the case that the real problem here is not our understanding of the word conservative but your willingness to abandon conservatism for Trumpism and then call what you are doing conservatism.

Why don't those so-called "historians" value narcissism and psychopathology as Presidential virtues?

They don't value James Buchanan's inaction during the run-up to the Civil War or Andrew Johnson's sabotage of Reconstruction, either. Given his avatar, Ajax may well disagree with them on that score too.
