I always tell my liberal friends that I can argue their positions better than they can. They don’t get it because they are more concerned with what Rachel Madcow says then what their core values are.

Biggs says conservatives understand liberal positions because they’re inundated with them — by the media, by academia, even to a certain extent by the culture.


The converse is also true. Liberals don’t understand Conservative positions because they rarely - if ever - hear them espoused.

Liberals lie, even to them selves.

Not only that, many conservatives are former liberals. I was a liberal until I was 30 and Ronaldus Maximus changed my life.

But very few liberals are former conservatives. That wouldn’t be evolution but devolution.

In my experience, we also understand liberal positions better than liberals do.

BS. I have NO IDEA why libs think what they think. It totally boggles my mind. None of their positions make any sense to me. Everything they believe is so freakin' alien to me that it is impossible to reconcile any of it with rational thought. Nearly half the population of this country is literally insane from my point of view.

One caveat, however. I guess I can understand one thing. People like free stuff. I suppose people could be voting for more freebies if they don't like to work for a living.
