What always breaks that pompous facade, is when you point out to them that only conservatives hear both sides. Liberals may claim to have listened to Rush, but most of them are lying through their teeth.
I've challenged lots of liberals to tell me what conservative information sources they read or listen to. Most will fumble around, trying to name just one, but usually they can't. If they can, I ask them to tell me what they found there, and their answers are never better than juvenile denigrations of the named conservative source.
Point is, you can force them into a corner with the fact that they only know what they've learned through left-wing sources. They can't prove to you that they honestly know anything about conservatism, because they've never bothered to examine it. You have to causatively seek that information out. You can't get it, unless you're looking for it.
We, on the other hand, have no choice but to know what their side's viewpoint is. They control academia, the press, entertainment, and every gov't bureaucracy. Their viewpoint (and the realities of liberalism) cannot be escaped, if you live in this country.
If you're a liberal, all you have to do is click off AM radio, and there go half the conservative voices in the land. Navigate clear of right-leaning websites, and there goes the other half. It's that easy to be ignorant.
“What always breaks that pompous facade...”
That it is and it’s certainly obnoxious.
(Thanks for the pointers.)
