I give Larry credit for ticking off the feminists. But only for that.

[...] Everybody expects Democrats to be slimy, dishonest, immoral, etc., and so when they demonstrate what they are, absolutely nobody is surprised or outraged. Why would they be? [...]

It's just the way it is, and the way it has been for a long, long time.
(shrug) What can you do?

You can use it to understand that Americans are very forgiving people, in general, but they detest hypocrisy.

Then, you use that understanding to guide points of argument. For example, you don't just say, "Algore is bad"...you say, "Algore tells others to cut energy usage while he increases his own" (and cite supporting details).

Remember when Eliot Spitzer's involvement as a client of a prostitution ring came to light. Look at the difference of the reaction on FR from that in America or New York in general. Much of America/NY didn't care about his involvement with prostitution very much, per se, but the issue had great traction because of how he'd prosecuted several prostitution rings previously. He'd made many enemies, and they pounced on the hypocrisy.

IMO, this is one of the biggest disconnects between many conservatives and the general public/electorate--and, therefore, the place where we can make the biggest gains in getting our points across.

Why do liberals use profanity in public settings so much???

When used the liberal way, Profanity is the attempt of a weak mind to express itself

” “pretty darn f****.”
She wouldn’t say DAMNED because THAT would be profane, but filling in the blanks in F%^&#@ was just fine because to a liberal saying words like this in public shows how serious things are in their little minds.

“And it has been abysmal going back at least a decade”. Ah, it’s Bush’s fault.

And yet this porcine bag of suet is back in her ivory tower preaching the same failed Keynesean garbage she always has.

With her self satisfied well fed smirk in place.

Ha! Now what makes you think she thought she was using profanity? I doubt if she has ever had any experience with the word or its meaning.

Excuse my French, but we all know the country’s been effed since November 2008. And we know nothing will get better until the socialists are out, AND a bunch of RINOs too, in Jan.2013.

Hang on, it’s still going to be a bumpy nightmare for 17 more months.
