I always liked Rush’s definition of what is a liberal and what is a conservative.
“A liberal is someone who believes people are basically good. A conservative believes that people are basically selfish.”
I’ve thought about it a lot in the years since I first heard him say this and he’s right. It sounds simplistic but there’s so much territory it covers the statement is more truthful every day.
It’s not often you see Colbert at a loss for words. Will gave as good as he got.
I really, really dislike Colbert.
The pseudo-conservative schtick wears on me. It also gives Colbert the framework to be particularly vicious and seem innocuous.
George Will had a book to sell, so he did what he had to do. I was really glad to see that he smacked Colbert down.
Colbert is such a prick. George Will even manages to look like a genius compared to the Prick!
I respect George Will, but wouldn't it have been more accurate to say, 'the difference between liberals and conservatives is the difference between the confusion and truth? Shouldn't the order have been switched?
Conservatives believe in the individual. Liberals believe in the government.
