I'm with you for the most part shipmate. Agree with all of the conditions you stipulate on your decision on who you vote for with one exception. As you note the Traitor to the United States Trump (Sorry for those who disagree, I saw it in real time. Instigating an insurrection against the lawfully elected President whether you like him or not is traitorous) is not a conservative and has never been one. He is a grifter through and through. The only place I take issue is in your pre-determined decision to consider voting 3rd party in 2024. As a former life long Republican I too would like to see a center right Republican with true fiscal conservative values and is not trapped in the cultural nonsense that has consumed the current climate. However, a vote for 3rd Party is a vote for the Traitor if he in fact becomes the Republican nomination for President. Will not risk that. Best.
I don't know what conservative means anymore. It had a good definition a long time ago. Go slow, be careful of what you wish for, respect for traditions, respect for those you argue with and more in that vein. Now it is related to domination and destruction. That is radical not conservative.
The aid we and the EU are giving is cheap cheap cheap vs restarting war in Europe and around the globe.
Good article. Agreed with virtually all of it -- especially support for Ukraine. I've wondered to what extent colleges are reserving spots for ( often) rich foreign students and to what extent that excludes some deserving citizens.
I suspect that DeSantis doesn't actually believe what he's saying wrt Ukraine and is just cynically trying to pacify the lunatics. But playing games with what should be core principles is even worse than not having them in the first place.
