Open letter to Conservatives
TMP ^ | March 22, 2010 | Russell King

Posted on 03/24/2010 8:45:43 AM PDT by unique

Dear Conservative Americans,

The years have not been kind to you. I grew up in a profoundly Republican home, so I can remember when you wore a very different face than the one we see now. You've lost me and you've lost most of America. Because I believe having responsible choices is important to democracy, I'd like to give you some advice and an invitation.

First, the invitation: Come back to us.

It's a blog post that was picked up by Digg (468) and already has 429 comments, also picked up by http://popurls.com/ which gathers the 'popular' stuff off web sites that gather popular stuff (interesting concept).

Anyway, it's an interesting point of view. It has a lot to do with the Republican Party.

Yes, it's true - the Republican Party needs to keep shaping up.

Well, how nice!

The Slaughterhouse is inviting all the runaway steers to come back...

Pfft.

It's a nice collection of all the disingenuous, anecdotal, inflammatory and outright false claims the left has made against conservatives.

If you ever wanted a fairly exhaustive rant containing all of them in one place, there you go.

I went there, too. It’s really nauseating.

All he does is bash conservative and/or the GOP, without providing any useful constructive comments. Nor does he explain how joining in the destruction of our country would do any good at all.

Don’t give him the time of day.

Who the heck is Russell King ?
David Frum’s rent boy?
And why should any conservative give two hoots about anything some idiotic nonentity has to say?
No web hits for this fool!

Dear Russell,

I'd like to invite you to stay the hell out of my business and I'll stay out of yours.

That's what's known as "Freedom", a concept lost on you and people like you.

Like my forefathers, there's a tipping point surrounding the issue of freedom where I'd be willing to go to the mat.

How about you?

Sincerely,

Someone who actually cares about liberty.

I didn’t.
I can smell trolls from a mile off.

A run-of-the-mill anti-conservative rant ... nothing to see here.

He states at the end of his rant that one of our most respected leaders agrees with him ... and then cites Colin Powell. Haha. Good grief.

The trolls always feel ‘empowered’ to speak their minds here after a political ‘victory’.

Dear TMP Guy,

I am the right hand of vengeance ... and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass out of American political discourse forever. God sent me.

Sincerely,
The Conservative

I thought this one from yesterday was pretty good. 2 total posts since 2007 and he was a nutbag to boot.

Yes this seems quite popular on facebook.

It seems to be the dominant way of expressing hatred toward Republicans.

I guess that is why the big hater crashed his plan into the IRS in Austin.

I guess that is why the big Leftist hater shot her fellow faculty members in Alabama.

This article is the perfect essence of today’s modern left: pretentious, hateful moral condescension.

We get to be their little pets and they are enraged when we pull on their statist leash.

I thought that it was an interesting take and very popular on the web post gathering sites - but, it appears that it’s the same old stuff to many posters here, sorry - just thought that some posters may have interest. Never mind.

Where's the triple bag barf alert?

This Marxist TMP "American Dad" is delusional and longs for the day he can say "Comrade Obama, save me" when he is next in line for liquidation.

Pity he'll take his family with him, but that's the culture of death.
