It’s very simple logic — REAL conservatives don’t advocate voting for and putting people like Reid, Pelosi and Obama in power.

Therefore, anyone who advocates keeping them in power is NOT a conservative, but indeed just someone trying to con some actual conservatives into a self destructive action.

Therefore calling such people trolls is indeed accurate and is not an insult to real conservatives.

You are very remarkable for a conservative. I.e.: you think like a liberal.

Let me explain. Conservatives are very good at thinking like conservatives, but, as actual tests/experiments have shown, we can also think like liberals. It doesn’t mean we can become liberals. It means we can see inside the workings of their brains, and we know what makes them tick. We have no end of fun with it. Many of our parodies, sarcasms & other amusements derive from us ascribing (accurate) thoughts to liberals, & then laughing about it.

You, by contrast, can see no POV but your own. You wear blinders & see within a tight, narrow stricture. In your POV, you are one-hundred percent right, while others are one-hundred percent wrong. All merit, morality, justness & righteousness resides in your view. Differing views are simply and wholly wrong.

I have no doubt you harbor conservative convictions. That is good. But the *way* you harbor them would make you a very good liberal, in terms of your manner of judging both yourself and others. The, ‘I am totally justified and you are totally unjustified’ is the liberal POV to its depths.

[& I don’t, btw, mean this on core issues, such as small government, Constitutional/non-activist judges, first & second amendments rights, anti-abortion, etc. I mean it in areas where good conservatives can & do disagree, such as election tactics. It is in these areas that your, ‘I’m one-hundred percent right & you’re one-hundred percent wrong’ liberal-esque POV comes to the fore.]
