CoffeeTiger 6,299 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Over the decades American Conservativism became more about emotion and anger than it did about ideas, policies, or governing. Rush Limbaugh proved to everyone that a loud mouthed idiot screaming and ranting into a microphone every day could make someone rich and turn them into a Conservative leader and icon. 4 1 2 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185773-i-miss-conservative-intellectuals/#findComment-3703104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
icanthearyou 4,468 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Friedman, Buckley, Sowell are/were NOT intellectuals. They are egomaniac ideologues who became ideological idiots. None of them have contributed to society or, human achievement. All three are/were destructive individuals. 6 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185773-i-miss-conservative-intellectuals/#findComment-3703125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is beyond patently ridiculous. I'll submit the post quoted above for the "lead paint chip eating, freezing cold take" of the day, and possibly 2023 to date. 4 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185773-i-miss-conservative-intellectuals/#findComment-3703141 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Friedman's role, and it was not an insignificant one, in helping bring about the end of the draft in 1973 would count. What do I win? Never mind, I'll win a facepalm if I'm lucky. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185773-i-miss-conservative-intellectuals/#findComment-3703201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
