Gay vegetarians? Walks around everywhere with his guns? Hmmm. What if you are a White Gay Vegetarian walking around Ferguson at night? A gun or a cucumber in your pocket? And your name is Robert.

The biggest difference between liberals and conservatives?

Liberals hold the U.S. presidency, conservatives don't.

Liberals control the states, with the exception of Texas, with the most electoral votes.

Liberals know how to build ruling coalitions with a big tent that includes Blacks, Hispanics, working women, young millenial voters and liberal baby boomers. Conservatives know nothing about building big tents and coalitions.

Liberals control our public education system. Conservatives don't.

Liberals won the culture war. Conservatives lost.

Liberals live by the pleasure principle. Conservatives live for discipline and punishment.

Liberals have a long political future. Conservatives, as the elderly white cranky geezers die off, will go the way of the Whig party.

Liberals have a winning slogan, "Embrace diversity".

Conservatives have a losing slogan of "What the hell are you looking at?"

L- Competition is unfair.
C-Supports lower taxes for all because people have a right to what they earn.
L-Supports progressive taxation with high taxes for the rich in an attempt to equalize incomes through redistribution of earnings

C-Society is composed of individuals to be judged on their individual merit. Values individualism, self-reliance, and independence.
L-Sees society as composed of groups: black vs. white, old vs. young, rich vs. poor, male vs. female. These groups are pitted against each other. Stirs up racial and class envy and division.
C-Individuals are responsible for themselves and their actions. Crime should be punished. Evil exists and good should fight against it.

C-God is a necessary part of a moral society. Religion makes people good when they know they have to answer to God.
L-State is secular (without God and hostile to Christianity). Seeks to eliminate references of God through separation of church and state.
C-Rights emphasized: Freedom, Parental, Property, Religious, Guns, Life.
L-Rights emphasized: Civil, Privacy, Secularism, Reproductive.

Liberalism (progressivism) wants to pull us further towards a welfare state with an ever-expanding web of social entitlements and more federal power and control over every aspect of our lives. Liberalism sees a nation of people incapable of solving their problems without the government’s help.

Conservatism believes a powerful federal government limits personal freedom. It seeks to stop the growing entitlement programs, encourage individual responsibility, and return Constitutionally mandated power to the states. Conservatism sees a nation of people capable of solving their own problems with minimal government help, as long as the people are free.

Now Brian, that isn't the kind of list the teatards want to see.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I along with many others could pick their lists apart with ease but why waste the time? These people don't care about anything that doesn't fit their ideology and never have. Some of these who believe in creation instead of evolution might have a point seeing how they are what they are and never will change. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

In the 50s the Koch funded John Birch Society thought they were the only hope for America. In 2014, the Koch funded JBS 2.0---the Tea Party says the same things.

JBS was shown the door by the Republican leadership even being repudiated by Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley. These right wing nut jobs usually don't know when to quit and then they over-reach.

The first time around was when they accused President Eisenhower of being a communist dupe (the McCarthy chorus).

What is going to be their undoing this time around?

Just a bottomless barrel of illiteracy and angry bile.

son of witless

Gee, then what are you doing here complaining? Sounds like you guys got everything sown up. Well except for the House of Representatives, 30 governorships, and 27 state legislatures. Of course that is only until Obama imports enough illegals and makes them voters, then you guys will have it all.

Yessiree Bob we are toast and you guys are our dictators.

Thank you, thank you. Exactly correct on every single point.

If that's your game plan...suit yourselves.

son of witless

My game plan? To allow Obama to break the law? My game plan is to oppose anything you are for I don't always know what is right, but I know you and your hero Obama will always be wrong.

Just because your side has been politically successful for 6 years you somehow got the notion you are part of a permanent majority.

The Democrats put together a pretty good cult of personality around your hero. That has run it's course. Obama has been shown to be a mortal. The novelty of America's first half Black President has worn off. People are tired of Liberal BS.

Republicans have a good bench for President in 2016. Who can follow Obama for the Democrats? He has poisoned the well with his hopey changey. You guys got the Massachusetts Squaw and Hillary.
