Reconquista

The long struggle (ending in 1492) during which Spanish Christians reconquered the Iberian peninsula from Muslim occupiers.

Columbus finally sold his plan to Isabel and Ferdinand, the monarchs of Castile and Aragon, who had married and united their kingdoms. In 1492, the couple had succeeded in conquering Grenada, the last Muslim-controlled province in Iberia, ending a centuries-long struggle known as the reconquista.

Reconservatarian

A political identity/philosophy that consists of some tenements of republicanism (favoring a republic as the best form of government), conservatism (favoring a balanced budget; prefers spending cuts), and libertarianism (socially liberal; limited government; free markets) and some independent views as follows:
a. Regulations: Regulations in moderation should be considered and implemented on a case by case basis to not only ensure public safety but also to prevent businesses and corporations from taking advantage consumers.

b. Taxes: Moderate tax increase can be considered as a last resort for limited time periods when necessary, but new tax increase should never be permanent.

c. Immigration: Taking a holistic approach with pathway to citizenship for otherwise law abiding illegal immigrants and expel criminal elements. Also securing the boarder against all new illegal entries.

Andy: Is Jeff a Conservative or a Libertarian? Because his views never seem to lie squarely in either political ideology.

Dan: That's because he's a Reconservatarian!

Reconquista

1. The term for a war of "re" conquest of the United States, principally by chicanos and mestizos. It's a war fought by means of illegal immigration and resource depletion fueled by massive breeding of children in the target country, obligating local, state and federal social support systems to support the invading force.

2. A covert war fought by a nation of people too chickenshit to fight as open aggressors.

"Viva la Reconquista!" Miquel cried as he conceived his seventy-third anchor bastard.

slow reconquest

Its Saturday night, childs sleeping, nobody needing me nor interested.

Safe to say i've gained back some freedom and time. To dive into what the city has to offer. Look at stuff, listen to music, dance! You only start missing these freedoms when they are restricted. And you enjoy them more. Value time.

Slow reconquest.
feeling like a stranger in your family. don't sing, don't laugh, don't express yourself, go and function like the rest
