I Need Help with a New Progressive Effort
A few months ago I started a new website - ConvinceAConservative.org - dedicated to a grass roots political education movement: Dems convincing their conservative neighbors why we're better. People writing into newspapers to make a statement, not just Bush-Bash.
The website is simple. It's a database of hot political issues and accompanying arguments for the progressive position.
Unfortunately, I'm a college student, and I haven't been able to fill in many of the arguments. [That is, he reached his conclusions before looking at the evidence]
I'm asking for help. I need good writers who can make a strong case for the Democratic position on hot button issues.
If you'd like to help, please e-mail me at james@convinceaconservative.org or AIM at convaconserv, or just visit http://convinceaconservative.org / for more information.
Thanks!
This guy should get a clue....The arguments that they're "better" don't exist.
Sounds like he's trolling over at the DU. Trying to get some takers on spouting off some off-the-wall positions they usually take, only he/she is trying to get them all in one place at one time.
Add the term 'unemployed' and it could pretty much sum up 90% of the group over at DU.
He will be waiting a long time. There isn't a soul alive that can make a strong case for the democrat (communist) position.
Progressive. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHA!!!! Everyone knows that's just code for LIBERAL!

HAHAHAHAHA..... What are they gonna write about? oh.. I know, they'll call us bad names and stuff...
I need good fiction writers who can make a strong case for the Democratic position on hot button issues
How much is he paying? /sarcasm off
1) draw your conclusions.
2) Select data,no matter how flawed,to support your conclusions.
3) Discard any data,no matter how valid,which does not.
it's the Democrat way
BTW: Will I be permitted to use poor grammar, foul language, and/or ebonics ?
Maybe I'll email him with the fact that had the Dems not aborted so many potential constituents, they might be a significant political force. Nah, it'll make him feel guilty for having "survived".
Just what IS the Democrat position on hot button issues? All we ever get is flip-flop.

Funny stuff. :)
The kid does a magnificent job illustrating the vapid yet elitist attitude of liberals: "I know we're better than other people...but would someone tell me WHY I'm better?".
"I hate Republicans, and everything they stand for." - Howard Dean
There.
I fixed it.
And don't forget the inaccurate spelling. Now, get to work......
My reaction, too.
I think Mike Belleseiles and Doris Kearns Goodwin are looking for work.
I'm a college student, and I haven't been taught to critically think for myself. I don't earn enough money to understand the impacts of consfiscatory policies, or know the value of my own labor.

Wait a minute... How much are you going to pay me. Show me the money.
Ping!
Gosh, I wonder what the "Progressive" liberal will to do when he has to choose between different arguments concering the same subject matter?
I bet he'll ask fellow idiot liberals to help him figure it all out.
"I'm asking for help. I need good writers who can make a strong case for the Democratic position"
LoL. Good Luck, Buddy!
I'm lazy and I don't have a clue, but somehow, I just know I'm smarter and better than everyone else.
Actually, he should start by trying to explain how the economic ruin, starvation and mass murder invariably accompanying socialism are "Progressive."
'Progressive' used to mean what Liberal means today. Liberal in the classical sense meant freedom loving.
That site is RICH with material....pure comedy.
At ConvinceAConservative.org, our mission is simple: to explain to conservatives that our ideas are better in a peaceful and non-confrontational way.
Our goal is not to alienate conservatives or moderates, but rather to bring them to our side by intelligent, convincing argument.
On this website you will find several of the best arguments for the Democratic position on many issues, from abortion to school vouchers, and we hope to add more all the time.
***When I clicked on the ISSUES link, there was nothing.
What is not said is that if you are 20 and liberal, you don't have the political capacity to moderate a political website. ME IZ A CALLEGE STOODUNT !! MI MAJA IZ INGLUSH !!!
The person needs to talk to David Horowitz. I'm sure David will straighten the person out.
The United States is evil, white men are evil, western civilization is evil, Christianity is evil - give us more money or the ACLU will kick your butt.
Lib/dems don't pay - just like this kid won't pay. Lib/dems only want hand-outs, remember?
I'm absolutely sure I'm cuter than him!
hmmm, so should I start a website like
www.Imbetterthansocoljam.com??
his AIM screen name is convaconserv. this could be fun.
He had a typo, "many"=="any"
I remember. No pay -- no writings. Tell them I take CASH ONLY. (That funny looking green paper with dead white males and the phrase "In God We Trust")
Translation:
His positions are indefensible. Without Bush Bashing, getting people to go to his web site is proving difficult.
ping-a-roonie!
You can't make a strong case that is the problem! I suggest you read up on the Port Huron Declaration to get a historical perspective on why the Democrats have veered so far to the left that any meaningful debate cannot happen. Liberalism is in itself a contradiction it will never really go away since the presumed arrogance by some who believe to know what ails us (and it's purported cure) will always be with us. It is a disease that afflicts modern affluent societies. You can bottle it up but never really get rid of it!
Save yourself 20 years in the wilderness and consider an alternate arguement: Why is there an overwhelming effort to stop liberalism in it's tracks and why Conservatism will alway prevail. Now THAT would be an education!
I suggest you read anything by Irving Kristol, Robert Bork's Slouching towards Gomorrah is a good primer and The Road to Serfdom by F Hayek. It is time your REAL education began.
Cheers!
He thinks his potential boss's are going to be impressed when they find out he's a Commie.
He's sure is getting a lot of traffic in his message boards.

Alll he has to do is follow his Marxist manual. that's all any Liberal/Democrat/looser does. None of them can figure out why pyramid schemes don't work, so they keep trying to sell it to themselves.
hahahahahah
Oh man, this idiot is just trolling for a thousand rabid libertarian wonks to flood his inbox with dissertations about the virtues of free markets, limited government, firearm ownership, private sector empowerment...
speaking of which, I better get to work on that...
A database was already created here. Just an FYI so you aren't taken away from more important issues like homework.
