Conservatives don’t wear bracelets of fallen heroes for props.

Well, it doesn’t make very good theater, but I do agree with each of his points. ‘Cept that part about being Republican. As a group, they simply aren’t conservative enough for me.

Too many words; the Sheep will never read it.

He is right. Liberals do hide what they believe in plain day even. They get away with it only because so much of the media outside of radio and the internet is inclined to the left. They don’t even have to try because their natural inclination is to err on the side of the left and they almost always do. Conservatives often eat their own. I get so angry sometimes. A conservative female commentator came out today and started bashing Palin. (What in the hell purpose is that? It wasn’t even productive and gives cover to the other horrible idiots that have been attacking her on the left.) There is a difference between honest analysis, and acceptance of false arguments. Anyone can make an argument from the perspective of Iran but a person who forgets that just because you imagine such things does make it something that you should accept and approve. The assessment of validity should always be from self interest and rightness as you see it based upon your beliefs. A person who deceives themselves thinking they are being fairminded by allowing everything moral equivalence. I heard a very ignorant radio talk show host on WRVA compare churchs who want to be politically regardless of message as no different than Rev Wright of “God Damn America” fame. That is foolish. The messages is what matters. One may not think it appropriate that any church be openly politically involved but that certainly does not make all the messages regardless of content essentially the same.

We have a lot of ignorant conservatives who couldn’t think themselves out of a paper bag and usually those are the ones who think they are more cultured. So go figure. Back to the point though Liberals have marginalized themselves and no they can not afford to be judged on what they really believe or their records.

liberals often go to great lengths to try to hide what they really believe from the public

Liberals believe in only one thing: fashion. And so they have the living Constitution.

Conservatives aren't anti-science

Quite the contrary. One of the best books I've read on the subject of the Left and science: Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science.

Conservatives don't want to pollute the environment

The early environmental movement, once referred to as conservation, was actually fairly conservative in nature (no pun intended). Hence the name. Only once it had been hijacked by the extreme left did it become the farce that it is today.

Conservatives don’t think there should be a hunting season (i.e., all year) for babies.

Conservatives aren't in the pocket of the rich

Liberals are. The rich make the best socialists, as the Big Bank Bailout is showing us clearly.

[Bullish]

Conservatives aren't whiny little crybaby's when they don't get their way.
Liberals constantly whine even when they do get their way, which is almost always lately.

[Just A Nobody]

Conservatives don't use the tactics of the left, the way you did here...
during his time in office, George Bush

It is PRESIDENT BUSH to you, john hawkins.

[tpanther]

SPOT ON about science and Theocracy!

I’ll add conservatives don’t hate their own country and for the most part aren’t suffering from serious mental illnesses and disorders either.

Conservatives aren’t aelf-absorbed like alot of libs are, look at the hollyweirdos.

(A sure fire way to spot a liberal, as I truly believe liberalism is a mental defect.)

[GOP Poet]

fantastic article. I’m too tired to give it much analysis, except to say it is right on! Thanks for posting.

“If you closely follow politics, one thing you’ll learn is that liberals often go to great lengths to try to hide what they really believe from the public while conservatives inevitably seem to be trying to correct some misperception that has been spread about them.”

This is so because the left owns nearly all propaganda outlets in American culture (i.e. newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music, movies, television, universities, mainline Protestant churches, etc.), with the exception of some of the Churches, the internet, and talk radio. Liberals do not have to tell the (full) truth if they (nearly) own our minds.

"Conservatives aren't anti-science: One of the great ironies of modern life is that liberals, a group that regularly tries to whip up scientifically unjustifiable hysteria for political gain, has consistently tried to brand conservatives as being "anti-science."

Have you ever noticed how that plays out in say, the global warming debate? On the Right, you have people constantly quoting actual studies and scientists as they make an argument while on the Left, they're quoting Al Gore and telling you sketchy stories about how the polar bears are all going to die if we don't do something right this second! Honestly, which side sounds like it's more interested in actual scientific facts as opposed to political propaganda masquerading as science?"
