You’re right, **monty2\_2001** , andros should follow your example of maturity and call everyone he disagrees with a Nazi. ---

Conservatism is about addressing reality instead of ideological fantasies. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Squink \* > \*\*That may be the _ideal_. Sadly, the reality’s been coming up a bit short lately. \*\* In recent years, many morons have swallowed neo-con bullshit without even chewing on it a bit and have confused this shit with conservatism. Morons are mosons no matter what ideologies they proclaim. Neo-con ideology seems hopelessly naive and myopic. Of late, it’s been packaged in patriotic colors and a sense of being smart by association. Unfortunately smarts, are not acquirable like that. The arena of ideas is a valuable American institution. Repression, (or attempted repression), of this competition by name calling, (think Coulter), is definitively not from the conservative tradition as I know it. It’s definitely not a part of the American tradition. ---

Moson? Is that a newly found subatomic particle? ---

The moson is an elementary particle that is the basic unit of stupidity, kind of like a photon is the basic unit of electromagnetic energy. Here, I’ll use it in a sentence: “Captain, I’m detecting high levels of moson radiation from **monty2\_2001** ” (good post, **SimonX**. I totally agree with you.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SimonX \* > As a Republican, I take exception to being grouped together with whatisname. Considering how it seems like the Republican Party is being devoured by the radical right, I do wonder why you continue to affiliate yourself with them. You could easily label yourself an “independent” with no change in views, while avoiding the stigma of being lumped with the likes of **monty2\_2001**. ---

Guys like **monty2\_2001** You find everywhere. I read once some unmoderated stuff in some site by New York Times. It was scaring. One thing **monty2\_2001** wrote somewhere was something like; “…we won the war in Iraq and now North Korea is next…” This kind of thinking is very common if You look at different unmoderated cites. Unfortunately I find the same guys in different Finnish sites, and in Russia the nationalism is flaming high as hell. All respect to true conservatives, those that can think and debate, but these kind of ignorent pea-brains as **monty2\_2001** we should try to discuss with anyhow. Just because people should fight ignorance. It is common ground, the common task for the conservatives, the liberals, the left etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-have-a-new-jerk-off/194108.md?page=5)
