This is a new one for me. We have a new political group amidst us. The up and coming Progressive Conservatives! That’s right readers. Follow me along as I show you how I came to this amazing discovery. I must admit, this discovery is even more amazing than learning how some people interpret the bible literally. 2 days ago a commenter was kind enough to say this in regards to the ISG members:
Please recognize that the Iraq Study Group’s youngest member was older than Castle.
Although they deserve our respect, their viewpoints mean nothing to me.
Now me being the sharp mind that I am thought this interesting because knowing this reader is a conservative I thought this blatant disregard for octogenarians (sp? hube) flies in the face of conservatism respect for an olders persons point of view and perspective. So I asked the reader to make sure I wasn’t wrong in my assumption of him being a conservative. I can now admit that I was wrong.
I’m not bitching about older people, I have great respect for them, but I don’t defer to them.People with recent experiences , training and education are best utilized to deal with today’s complex issues.I am a conservative and proud of it. I am also progressive. The two can and do mix well.
There you have it the Progressive Conservative? Sort of like a platypus I guess, no matter how many times you see one, you still scratch your head and ask, “What the fuck is that thing?
