Patriotism does not include voting for a felon. Conservatism does not include voting for a felon. Selling one's soul to a partisan idol can certainly include voting for a felon.
@EWErickson
Eric, there's no evidence at this point of motive or affiliation. You keep amping up the rhetoric and are proving you're part of the problem. I used to think that, although we disagreed, you were principled, but I was wrong.
I’m a Christian, pro-life, pro-2A conservative that has never voted for a Democrat in my life and who disagrees with much of the Dem platform. But Trump and his ilk have actively degraded the GOP & pushed conservatives like me away—& I will now vote for Joe Biden as a result.
This is just the social event prior to the
@Principles_1st
summit tomorrow. Tons of people and, unlike
@CPAC
, not a flag code violation in sight. Patriotism that actually respects our country. 💪🇺🇸
@EWErickson
No, my problem with you today - and it's my mistake - is that I thought you were at least principled enough not to stoke the vitriol. But you've spent the whole day doing nothing but fan the flames.
To GOPers virtue signaling with Appeal to Heaven flags, you do you. I appreciate historical significance but it has been hijacked by radicals. My neighbor with Q sticker has flown it and flies the inverted US flag.
That’s not something good people should want to associate with.
Bc of personal stuff, the past few days have been a bit depressing & hopeless. I joined a

My niece & nephew's school district today eliminated all mask requirements regardless of level infection in schools. Our hospitals in Kansas are reportedly using crisis standards of care even though the state won't acknowledge that. We have reached the point of pure absurdity.
Please,

Sincerely, a principled conservative

Until told I'm NED, my plan is to say loudly and in an offended tone that "I have cancer." That is, unless they call me a sheep in which case it's "better a sheep than an ass."
The NeverTrumpers who are *too principled* to get their hands dirty by taking the singularly most critical action to defeat Trump are letting their egos get in the way of stopping what they claim to oppose. They claim to defend democracy but with qualifications on how.

I'm so tired of being alone but people in my life (incl family) aren't willing to take precautions so I can be around them safely. It's painful to realize I don't matter and makes me wonder what the point is.
We came from 45 states to attend the
@Principles_1st
summit, and next year there will be even more of us. We're going to need a bigger venue since we filled this one to capacity. Americans crave principles & integrity. We want our country back.

My neuro-ophthalmologist recommended this afternoon that I continue precautions to the extent I can do and remain sane. Having to remove my mask for a reason like this would potentially be an ADA violation.
Trump: "What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening". That could be taken directly from Orwell's "1984". He is manipulating his

My dad & I were talking about this last night. He ran primarily military or stand-alone not-for-profit facilities and everything was great as long as they were in the black. Anything extra went back into staff, the facility, expansion, charity care, etc. Was 1970s-2002.

I haven't had immunology in decades but I think it translates roughly to "😷." I'm not sure how basic you want but the variants are mutating as they go from person to person & new ones aren't impeded much at all by our immunity (vaccines & infxn). Someone else can explain better.
After dealing with cancer all last year and getting to be on hormone blockers another 9, few things make me angrier or offend me more than people I know not getting screenings or checking out lumps. Am I alone in this?

Vaccines are about as conservative as you can get. A small relatively cheap injection to prevent costly disease and disability - extremely fiscally responsible. Preventing the spread of disease that could hurt others - respects the value of life. Etc.
Hey, Cancer Fam, you all have convinced me that I don't want stage iv of anything so I'm getting a colonoscopy tomorrow. Any tips for the clear liquids part? Is collagen protein okay with clear liquids? My meds are making this painful already & Dr isn't open yet.

@Principles_1st
summit nourished my soul as well as my mind. There's something absolutely healing about interacting with genuinely good people of principle, and I hope others join us as we stand up around the country this year.
The 2024 Principles First Summit was the biggest one yet! We had 817 registrants from 45 states convene to hear 17 different discussions and speeches from 51 incredible speakers about America’s core principles and the future of our country.
And we’re just getting started.
There are 2 things needed to refute this nonsense: 1️⃣ We must show Rs that Harris supporters exist. Don't be in-your-face but don't hide. 2️⃣ The popular vote spread must be so big that there's no question who won & no plausible excuse to deny certification.

Wait. You didn't take him on rounds? I guess it's different these days with HIPAA & for docs, but some of my fondest memories are of following my dad, a now-retired hosp admin, on daily rounds at 7a every summer. I learned so much about kindness, humility, & how hospitals work.
@JReinerMD
We're told to protect ourselves but our decisions to do so are derided & treated as paranoid. I'm at risk for neuro complications but my avoidance of covid is costing me socially and career-wise. It feels like a catch-22, esp when folks like Dr Wen say catching it is inevitable.
There should be some sort of check-a-lump triage nurse for people who've had cancer so we can ask at any point whether a new lump can wait until the next appt or is actually a big deal. This is all so weird.

From talking with others like me who are ex-GOP and either moderate or center-right, while we'd prefer a conservative, Biden is definitely someone we can support and see healing our country.
