    What bothers me is the ‘this is bad because Trump did it’ mentality. Neither Goldberg nor Hayes seemed interested in why the Hell we had soldiers in Syria in the first place, and what their job was, and under what conditions they might be withdrawn. It was just mentally lazy Trump hatred.

    There’s a lot of that goin’ ’round.

    Look, even if you’re correct about Reagan not looking favorably on Jonah’s comments (which is impossible to know for certain, but whatever), since when did “What would Reagan say?” become the “What would Jesus do?” equivalent of Conservative thought? That’s gotta be one of the most ridiculous propositions I’ve ever heard.

    I think most often when referring to Reagan on these threads, after Gary Robbins has brought in the Reagan shrine, it’s usually to point out that many who worship Reagan ignore things that would be… inconvenient.

    Sure. “Many who worship Reagan” have this tendency.  But “worship” itself is a huge problem.  “Respect” and “admire” are about as far as we should go with a politician, don’t you think?   Even with Reagan, who was a good man and a fine president.

    “Put not your trust in princes” is an idea Conservatives have long believed.  (Unlike the Left, whose affection for Obama often tipped over into idolatry.)

    The Trump haters want to define ‘conservative’ as ‘classical liberal.’

    That doesn’t make sense. ‘Classical liberal’ is a deceit. It is Libertarianism by a different name. 

     

    Classical Liberalism and Libertarianism are absolutely not the same thing.   

    Libertarians believe in zero taxes, no safety net, and near-100% isolationism.   

    Classical Liberals do not.   And Jonah himself does not.

    As much as most of you are tired of all the Trump bashing, I’m equally tired of all the Trump bashing bashing.

    Maybe it’s because I think of Trump as an unfit-for-office blowhard. I’m sure that plays a role in my sympathy for the bashers. So at the end of the day, as long as Jonah & Steve don’t make like Jay & Mona on their late (and not lamented) podcast Need to Know — where it became de rigour for the hosts to castigate Republicans while giving a pass to the activity of Democrats — something Jonah G. never does, by the way (he calls balls and strikes on both sides) — then I can’t say I’m particularly worried.

    Jonah is a smart, literate, brilliantly funny Conservative — while Trump is none of those things. Not even the last thing.

    What bothers me is the ‘this is bad because Trump did it’ mentality. Neither Goldberg nor Hayes seemed interested in why the Hell we had soldiers in Syria in the first place, and what their job was, and under what conditions they might be withdrawn. It was just mentally lazy Trump hatred.

    This presupposes that Jonah and Steve would’ve reacted differently if another president had done the same thing.

    Do you really believe that?

    I think they might have looked for some kind of logic or reason behind the decision, not just ascribed it to stupidity.

    Okay.  I categorically disagree.   I think it was about the decision, not the man, but you have a different opinion.
