Why Conservatives Suck

Why Tuesday Will Be So Sweet

I recently read a wonderful blog that beautifully summarizes what I've known all along: that in a historical context, conservatives are anti-American, greedy, selfish A-holes. "Oh now, come on," you say, "Obama is about to take office next week, why talk trash now?" Because it's important to see just how screwed up the conservative ideology really is. Please take a moment to read Robert Creamer's excellent article, and you'll see that wingnuts like Sean Hannity are just warmed-over Tories and Confederates. He quotes author Mike Lux from his new book The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came to Be to show just how base conservatives have been historically, and how even though you hear a lot of BS from Republicans about patriotism, it is the Progressives who founded this country.

Progressives invented the American ideal and inspired the American
Revolution. Conservatives, then known as Tories, opposed it. Since then,
every major advancement in American freedom, democracy, social justice,
and economic opportunity has been fostered, fought for, and won by
progressives against conservative resistance. Now who's anti-American?

I've always felt there was something wrong about conservatives. Something just fundamentally incorrect about their ideology. These are people who always think they are right, who never question themselves or reflect on the consequences of their actions. They're selfish people who have used race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, you name it, to divide this country. Here's to the Obama era: a time of healing, rebuilding, and the awakening of decency in America. And the marginalization of Fox News, right-wing radio, and that crazy dude with the long hair (take your pick: Ted Nugent or Ann Coulter).

Peace.

  1. Life lesson for jealous libs: you will suffer fewer nose bleeds when you get off your high horses. You will also feel a lot better when you stop believing that conservatives do not want everyone to be able to enjoy and take advantage of peace and prosperity. The difference is the manner in which it is to be accomplished. Conservatives believe that personal prosperity is accomplished primarily through applied individual efforts, not by way of all-encompasssing government handouts and they also believe that such efforts require the maximum of individual liberty to be successful. Thus conservatives desire smaller, less intrusive government to free people to be all they can be. Liberals on the other hand want the individual to look to a centralized bureaucracy for all of life’s needs. Thus they demand more and more programs and taxes to fund them. So why do liberals think they hold the moral high ground if their methods reduce freedoms, increase poorly run and wasteful centralized government spending and discourage individual talents? I was once a self-defined liberal, but I didn’t know why, I just didn’t want to be thought of as someone who didn’t hold the moral high ground. I urge each of my liberal friends to have an epiphany of understanding by realizing that being liberal and supporting liberal policies doesn’t make you morally superior. In fact, if you honestly analyze the hard liberal policies of the extreme left, you have to honestly acknowledge that they are counterproductive to social advancement. They rob people of drive, zeal, ambition and dull natural talents which mankind has depended on for the betterment of society for thousands of years. The logical conclusion of an all encompassing social big daddy government is that you lose the chance for personal prosperity at the price of losing most of your individual liberty. Also remember my liberal friends - how does the government make the money it spends? It doesn’t produce anything. It makes money by taking money from those who have earned it through their efforts. What happens when the earners stop earning or leave the country? You should all try reading the Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged for a change of pace and to get a different perspective. If you don’t get your epiphany from doing that, then at least get off your high horse while you continue to believe in the liberal socialist philosophy.

  2. Well, like I said, if it weren't for Progressives, you'd be a subject of the Queen. And actually, these days, that might not be so bad.

  3. I would invite Anonymous up there to find a nice country that doesn't have a "big government." I know several that would be perfect. No socialist progams no government regulations, few if any taxes. Somalia is great this time of year and Anomymous can take his epiphany there and be all creative and industrious! He should succeed right away without that evil "Big Brother" holding him back.
    What a f-n brainwashed ditto-head moron. You didn't have an "epiphany" you are just quoting Bill O'Riley directly. Have a thought of your own before you expect anyone to take you at all seriously.

  4. Tell you what all y'all librals. This is how yer screwed up system works. A conservative dosnt like guns at all so he dosent buy one. A libral dosent like guns so no one will be allowed to have one. A conservative is a vegitrian so he doesn't eat meat. A libral is a vegitrian so no one is allowed to eat meat. A conservative doesn't love Jesus (which is pertty messed up). A libral dosent love Jesus ( that's normal for y'all) so no one should love Jesus ( and if you do try and pull that shit you can tell that to my twelve gauge. Dumbasses I can't wait till Obama screws up and America and I can laugh at y'all and say I was right and yer wrong so got yer sorry ass of America then us conservatives will fixx it

  6. Conservatives are bigots and racists.
    (http://racistconservatives.com/).

    Conservatives have lower IQs. Yes, studies can prove this.
    (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100224132655.htm).

    Conservatives are basically the white trash scum of America.

    Check out these websites, if you conservatives can manage to read them.

  7. Conservatism revolves around scrutinizing Barack Obama any left-wing policies in order to protect the Constitution and America's foundation without even considering that preservation isn't always the right way to go. People like Sean Hannity, Rush limbaugh, and Sarah Palin take every possible detail of Obama's presidency, throw it out of proportion, and spew lies at the American people, resulting in growing hatred of him and the rest of the Democratic Party. The problem is, Obama isn't doing anything wrong. He may not be perfect, but he's far better than anything those damn teabaggers could ever offer. The Republican Party has become the party of obnoxious unnecessary criticism, excessive lying and hatred, and opposition of everything congress proposes to improve the country solely in order to stop the president in his tracks. The party is entirely run by their corrupt media, especially Fox News, and it seems that no Republican in Washington can freely think for themselves and go against their party's ludicrous way of thinking. They continue to blame Obama more and more for things in which he holds no blame, and even go as far to blame him for the lack of an immigration reform bill. Whose fault is that? The republicans, of course. If the health care bill hadn't been stretched out and watered down like it was due to their ignorance, not only could it have been passed a long time ago, but it could have been far better than it is. With that being done, financial reform could have been completed earlier, and also much better, and we could be well onto fixing immigration by now. Republicans and Conservatives need to wake up and realize what the real problem in America today is, the GOP.

  10. Get a job lazy libs too bad you cant get one cause obama killed the economy lol but its ok get used to unemployment checks because the cancer is spreading soon we will have even more marxist policies if you could even imagine that, then no one will have to worry about aspiring or achieving the American dream because that died in 2008 and because everybody's feelings are so important the promotion i'm in line for will be passed over simply because of my race, which by the way was no picnic either. My ancestors never owned a slave in fact they probably were ones at some point having relatives that survived the holocaust and a grandfather being welcomed to NYC with no "Italian" signs hanging in windows, not to say black people haven't been treated unfairly but there's a time to take responsibility for yourself and not be dependent and for once be self sufficient, what's truly fair is a government that doesn't pity certain groups enough to throw them a couple of bones.

    That very well may be the dumbest paragraph ever written, by anyone, in any language, ever.

    Thank you, dear sir. I laughed heartily.

  13. There has anytime been a analysis about who are those people, who are acutely absorbed with replica Louis Vuiton . It is not simple fray. And what’s more, they already angle their position in the bazaar for one hundred and fifty years. From the start, they aggressive to the ability and blue-blooded market.

  14. Anonymous the first, afraid to give even a moniker, resorts to name calling to make his point and expects us "libs" to take him seriously. Right.

  16. The charge of racism is used when one cannot win the argument on its own merits. You can pull down the entire system and you will still be a moron.

  17. Tories literally means conservative. And that is exactly who was opposed to the American Revolution. History is the story of progress. Conservatives have always been histories villains. Slowing Down progress but never able to stop it.

  18. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. 'nuff said.

  19. Brandon.. history is not always the story of progress. Sometimes things go bad (Dark Ages ring a bell?) Governments collapse, societies change. We may be "progressing" socially, but that same group of people is making America bankrupt!

    I could care less if gays can marry - good for them, whatever. But I will never vote for a dumbocrat. If our nation goes bankrupt and our currency inflates like Germany's after WWI, all that "social progress" won't matter to the starving masses.

  20. The one thing, among many, I will point out about conservatives is they are never wrong in their eyes. Other conservatives can do no wrong, its amazing how ignorant they are. And how ignorant I am for actually trying to set them straight lol. Notice that bush killed the economy but conservatives blindly refuse to accept this because he was a Republican. We were losing 750 thousand jobs a month when Obama took office you rednecks. If you notice the top 10 poorest states in the nation are all die hard conservative, its laughable really that conservatives are so ignorant that they will vote for a Republican to kill the unions so they can all work for $8 an hour. You guys are pure genious! The problem with Republicans is that you dont want anyone else to have anything; you are all haters pure and simple. Be gone with you all.

  21. Just look at the Republicans we have running for president. Almost all are insane, all are moronic, and do not care for anybody who is not rich. They use the guise of being Christian and religious, and yet are so different than they Christ they supposedly love. These GOP candidates comprise one huge, insane, and scary circus. JOKES! People support them often because they are fooled and think that they care about people who are not rich, they are rich, they are not so bright and religious, they are hateful and do not want gays to marry, etc. Our education system needs to be cleaned up or our country will be failing miserable in the future, and that does NOT include teaching creationism, which is NOT science. Why are so many conservatives such nutbags? They are fooled and the politicians play off their weak minds with ploys like gays are ruining our families, saying that is actual science is taught in schools then creationism should be as well, etc...
