Europe may have dealt with similar religious issues, but it wasn't founded by a mass of Puritans. A country founded by the Protestant ethic run amok, plus a strong sense of Rugged Individualism grown by a frontier (cowboy) fantasy, in my opinion, gets us where we are today.

America wasn’t founded by Puritans, Massachusetts Colony was. Virginia for one was founded by entrepreneurs, and we’re still pretty much Conservative – except for the DC area.

I remember one poll indicating a large number of Bush supporters who held views the opposite of his. They would have been Kerry supporters if they had understood which candidate they actually agreed with.

I disagreed with many of Mr. Bush’s views – but there is no way I would vote for a self aggrandizing, lying, backstabbing, seditious traitor. I do believe in Patriotism.

Due to this, the working class Freeper has a sort of political and economic version of Stockholm Syndrome in which they identify more with their captors than the very people who are seeking a bette life for them.

WOW!!!! I didn’t vote for “gimme gimme gimme”!

16. The Right Wing Owns The News & the Fundies Own the Voting Machinez And once they push through the DRAFT they'll own our bodies too.

SeeBS, NBC and ABC are “right wing”?
Aren’t the only people pushing for the draft reinstatement democrats?

Enough. I can’t read anymore.

The tinfoil-hat crowd over on DU indeed believes that the mainstream media is conservative. Their logic goes something like this: Corporations are bad and evil. Corporations own the main media outlets. Therefore, the mainstream media is bad and evil. And since conservatism = evil too, then the media is conservative. Simple?
