Sorry I am Australian and do not understand the term Globalist RINO can someone give me some background
The term would apply to him except the termlords have not gone back that far yet to apply it to him. They might some day. They might also apply it to his vice-president, Richard Nixon.Sorry I am Australian and do not understand the term Globalist RINO can someone give me some background
They might--he more or less fits the profile. On the other hand, Nixon was the originator of the Southern Strategy, which resulted in a hard-core social conservatism becoming central to party orthodoxy.The term would apply to him except the termlords have not gone back that far yet to apply it to him.

If Eisenhower were alive and still a Republican, he'd have been tossed out of the party long ago. RINO only came about in the 1990s. Up until then there were always party members from both parties that were far more centrist that what we see today. Blue Dog Democrats were socially liberal and fiscally conservative. On the other side, Rockefeller Republicans were also socially liberal. It is during the Reagan era, the parties lose these centrists from both sides and move collectively away from each other on the social issues.

Many progressives and liberals, and other people who have voted mainly Democratic over the years and voted for some pretty far-out candidates, make a point of saying to me that they actually are supporters of _________ (pick a few liberal Republicans to name) so that this confession makes them seem moderate or thoughtful or something like that.
On the other hand, it is rare to find a conservative or committed Republican who will insist upon being known as a person who could possibly go either way when entering the voting booth and who really, really admires some Democratic officeholder who, however, is not typical of that party.
I have wondered why this is the case.
OK. My view is that what you described is rare, and we know that in religion and politics, there's always an exception to every rule...somewhere. All we can do is stay focused on whatever is significant.It was actually somewhere on this forum, but I don't remember enough about the context of the thread to be able to hunt it down.
If you are looking for someone who uses the actual acronym specifically, it might be hard to find. Goldwater was too long ago, and RINO is a relatively recent coinage. I suggest looking up Barry Goldwater in Conservapedia for a neo-right-wing dismissal of Goldwater as not a "real" Republican. Goldwater's quoted opinion of Jerry Falwell can't be repeated here, and for that reason I will not post the link myself, either.OK.
