There’s nothing new in this. Conservatives rely on fact, logic and reason. Liberals, on the other hand are incapable of deciphering this school of though, and rely on emotion and false accusations. Their arguments rarely coincide with reality, nor does their perception of the world around them.

Fischer relies on rock solid fact to again prove what is completely obvious to any rational thinker. Preaching to the choir.

What I’d really like to see is an argument constructed on pathos, paranoia, counter intuitive thought, and faulty reasoning as to why liberals are idiots. That may be just the thing to snap them into reality…

In a vertical screed

Huh? What's a "vertical screed"?

See, heres the thing..

I would like to see an argument! Conservatives sit there and take all this crap! We don't need to respond with the "sky is falling" mentality that all liberals seem to associate their arguments with, but we do need to respond.

The silence that comes out of the GOP is deafening.

Just something that I noticed over time, all Republican presidents are branded by the press with some unfavorable trait:

Nixon was a crook

Ford was a bumbler

Reagan was senile or teflon

Bush Sr was a Reagan clone & "read my lips" and

GW Bush was mocked for not being smart.

The two most inept presidents of our time, Carter (remember the Iranian hostages, double digit inflation, gas lines etc) and Clintoon ("I did not have sexual relations with all of China") are never referred to without the title "former president" and in Carter's case "senior statesman" (barf).

The liberal left always is first in line for namecalling and elitism. They view conservatism as a lack of enlightenment, not as holding traditional values. They forbid disagreement in a discussion and most scarey of all, they control virtually all of the media, print, TV and entertainment in this country.

It scares the hell out of me.

(Only two Democrats have held the presidency in the past 34 years, a sign of someone's intelligence.)

And they manage to create such an enormous mess, it takes the Republican presidents their whole terms to clean it up.

Hahaha, this is freaking hilarious:

Scheer wrote the following: Ashcroft is "not the sharpest [tool] in the shed." He "managed to lose a Senate race to a dead man." He "was not picked for his smarts."

And the writer makes NO MENTION of how stupid DEMOCRATIC voters were to vote for a dead man over a living one.

"Mikhail Gorbachev arguably has changed the world more dramatically and with less bloodshed than any leader since Christ."

Yeah, and conservatives are out-of-touch extremists.

I see Scheer does not question the IQ of those Missouri Rats who voted for a dead man. Oh, that's right, many of those voters ARE dead.

A nicely executed skewering of one of the most insufferable pompous asses on the Left.

Isn't that a great line? Gorbachev lost the cold war, his nation disintegrated out from under him, and he is hailed as a great leader who changed the world.

Methinks that Reagan, Thatcher, and the Pope had a wee bit to do with it. Or do we give Hitler credit for ending WWII now?

Of course Scheer loves Gorby. He represents a system in which writers don't have to be able to write or think, only show their loyalty to the "cause". Scheer is neither a writer nor a thinker, but he is astutely loyal to the leftist propaganda machine... so he'll never be out of a job.

I think this little gem from the Liberal Tom Toles sums up the Left attitude:

Let see:

Regan set out to topple Communism

Mikhail Gorbachev and his reforms set out to save Communism

Gee what happen?

No, the French are the true heroes of WWII.

I emailed my city's newspaper after one of Scheer's particularly hateful pieces, and shortly thereafter, they dropped him. An editor wrote me to say that my email had helped tip the scales.

Now THAT'S what I call a great FREEP! :-)

You mean like pushing Intelligent Design
into the classroom?  The War on Some Drugs?
Please spare us the jingoistic sideshow.
