Nomination

I want to nominate those figures:

• Jeff Landry for his big victory in Louisiana gubernatorial race
• Tucker Carlson for his courage to going against establishment until he was fired from Fox news
• Jim Caviezel for his successful work in Sound of Freedom movie
• Alejandro Gómez Monteverde for his direction of Sound of Freedom movie
• Victor Orban for his standing against globalist ICC order to escalate war with Russia
• Robert Fico for his victory in Slovak election

I would add Javier Milei if he win at Argentine presidential election --Alex Kosh (talk) 18:49, November 13, 2023 (EST)

Thank you. Go ahead, add them to the list. Don't let other editors try to intimidate you. RobS^{Get thee behind me, Satan} 18:54, November 13, 2023 (EST)

What about Elon Musk? I don't know if he's deserving of winning the title, but can we rate him as "conservative" (despite extensive ties to the MIC and globalists?) He's fearless in taking on Big Media. RobS^{Get thee behind me, Satan} 22:18, November 23, 2023 (EST)

There are so many good candidates it is hard to pick, but I would say that Elon Musk is an agnostic who explicitly has said that he is "not a conservative". On July 14, 2018, Elon Musk said, "To be clear, I am not a conservative."[1] Are we to believe that he became a conservative in the last 4 years? I don't think so. And he certainly hasn't called himself a conservative in the last 4 years. And Mr. Musk doesn't appear to be a social conservative in some respects (See: Talk:Conservative of the Year 2022).

I have other reasons why Musk should not be conservative of the year for 2023 (See: Talk:Conservative of the Year 2022).

With that being said, Elon Musk is a superb ally of conservatives as he leans to the political right on many issues. Conservative (talk) 16:56, December 17, 2023 (EST)

I nominate Tucker Carlson for Conservative of the Year in 2023. And I hope Mike Johnson merits being conservative of the year in 2024. Conservative (talk)

I will agree with either Tucker Carlson or Matt Gaetz to be conservative of the year --Alex Kosh (talk) 18:44, December 19, 2023 (EST)

Jason Aldean and Oliver Anthony

Is it okay if I add Jason Aldean and Oliver Anthony? Although Oliver Anthony has stated that he is a Centrist rather than a Conservative, his song "Rich Men North of Richmond" has Conservative messaging and the song's popularity has infuriated Leftists.--TheNewRight (talk) 16:31, December 20, 2023 (EST)

I see no reason why not. Anthony, if I'm not mistaken, is highly critical of Republicans (but then again, he's living in the backwoods of Virginia and still living in the Reconstruction era). RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 17:11, December 20, 2023 (EST)

Both would be great additions ... to the top tier! Thank you.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 17:17, December 20, 2023 (EST)

Thank you! I will add them both! I think Mr. Anthony's criticism of Republicans was more about criticizing the establishment and the globalists rather than criticizing them for solely being Republicans. Have a very Merry Christmas!--TheNewRight (talk) 22:49, December 23, 2023 (EST)

Judge Loretta A. Preska and Marsha Blackburn

Lately conservatives Judge Loretta A. Preska ordered to release Epistein documents at the Jan 1 2024. Sen Marsha Blackburn also worked for this documents to be released, can we add their names or should add them at Conservative of the Year 2024? --Alex Kosh (talk) 18:30, December 21, 2023 (EST)

Oh yah, Marsha Blackburn definitely. The other one I know nothing about. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 21:35, December 21, 2023 (EST)

RINO of the Year 2023

I formally request that such a page be created, as was the case for the previous two years.--Geopolitician (talk) 23:56, December 26, 2023 (EST)

I oppose the following nominees

Robert Fico- He is conservative only on social issues. On economics and on the European Union, he is well to the left of the GOP and even many European conservative parties.

Matt Gaetz- For advocating DeSantis supporter Bob Good, and later NeverTrumper Tom Emmer as potential successors of Kevin McCarthy.

Marjorie Taylor Greene- For not only standing by Kevin McCarthy before, during, and after his speakership, but also falsely smearing conservative McCarthy opponents as NeverTrumpers on multiple occasions.

Mike Johnson- For selling out on multiple issues after being elected Speaker.

Ron Johnson- For being one of the Senators who cowardly dropped their opposition to certifying the 2020 election results in response to the January 6 incident.

Javier Millei- For selling out on multiple issues after being elected President of Argentina.

Elon Musk- For bankrolling Ron DeSantis.
