Warrior Retains ‘Foke’ Shares it With Young Conservatives

The Former WWF Champion and writer of horrible comic books Warrior was on C-Span 2 today. He was pontificating to a Young Conservative group. He definitely had his Foke.

He now has a goatee and shoulder length blonde hair. I was disappointed that he didn’t have it teased up in proper hair-band style.

He explained the basis of Conservativism. He thinks it means thinking over feeling. Liberals just want to feel everything.

I hate to tell him, but you could take the opposite tack that Liberals are the ones who are thinking and that Conservatives just follow what they are told and have been taught.

Every word he says is given in the shouting type of monotone that any 80’s wrestler or Monster Truck Pitchman would be proud of. No real inflection, just spitting the words out.

Apparently all of the people in the crowd believe as Warrior does that America is God’s Country. That’s not a bit zealotous is it?

Isn’t that what we don’t like about all those arab countries that are dominated by Islam? We don’t like that they think that they know what god wants and we’re just all idiots.

Some of his finer points: (paraphrased)

  • Liberals are evil.
  • Nothing good ever came from any liberal idea.
  • We are beings that pass judgment.
  • Liberals spit in the face of god.
  • Liberals don’t think, they just feel.
  • Conservatives must live to judge.


  • He misses the idea that you are not thinking if you just follow what has been done before. I assume that he would then be against women’s suffrage, emancipation and any other idea that has been brought forth since the writing of the original Holy US Constitution.

    When you draw extremes like this Warrior, this is what you set yourself up for.

    After the Supreme Court ruling that struck down anti-sodomy laws across the US, on the Steve Gill show on 99.7 WTN one of the talking heads on the show argued that the idea of privacy in the bedroom was not one that is valid because the idea of privacy is a relatively recent one. Just because an Idea is newer doesn’t mean that it is wrong.

    To me, this is the fatal flaw of the super-conservative, the inability to change. If you draw a straight line down the center and say that you are divinely right and there is no room to have any discussion on the matter no progress will ever occur.

    Warrior said that people would not continue to beat their heads against walls if there was no purpose to it, therefore whatever has worked for a long time must be the thing that is right.

    Forgive me if I step a little high up on my soapbox here, but...

    ...does that mean that anything that has existed for a long time must be right? So the Chinese (Tibetan) system of government and society would obviously be the correct one, as it is the longest lasting continuous government on Earth. Granted they were knocked out of power by the Communists, but that’s not the point because Commies are just liberals after all.

    I’m sure Warrior would disagree with this, because, after all, the USA is God’s Country and whatever the founding fathers put forth in the constitution is right and Holy, AMEN. (like blacks not being full people, or keeping women from the voting booth, or non-landowners)

    Personally I don’t want the title of Liberal or Conservative (which of course makes me a liberal), I would prefer to look at an idea on its merits and decide from there. I prefer the term Pragnostic.

    It would surprise me greatly if the Warrior does not enter the political arena at some point soon.
