The real reason behind 'Bush-hatred', 'Rush-hatred' and 'Ahnold-hatred' amongst the left. They've lost their monopoly.

I was watching a Fox interview a few weeks ago when Senator Rockafeller was on criticizing Bush for calling Iraq an imminent threat. Tony Snow first played Bush's speech where he clearly said Iraq wasn't an imminent threat then a speech by the Senator where he called Iraq an imminent threat. He made Rockafeller look like an idiot. It was great. That kind of coverage is why people are turning to Fox. The Senator would never have been called on his lies on the networks or CNN.

Unfortunately it came too late. They've won the war. Our country has been fully subsumed into the Marxist cesspool with no obvious path back to sanity.

The Left has secured the support of the majority of the public through their appropriation of the wealth of those on the Right and its redistribution to those who have willingly sold their votes.

Those who have taken the money from the Left will never give it up. They will vote enmass for the Left to insure the continuance of their cash flow. They will violently resist any efforts to terminate their immoral pilfering of other people's pockets.

We have gone beyond the point of no return. American no longer exists. In its place we have a Soviet Union Lite.

I wish for all the liberal media outlets, a thousand one-dimensional, arrogant Aaron's on their house. May they all drown in their sea of out-of-touch sap.

As the show’s co-creator, 32-year-old Matt Stone, sums it up: “I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals.”

Well looks like I'll take my keep my $40 and not buy the 2nd Season DVD. Continue watching the show of course but I'll be damned if he makes any money off it.

Horowitz is raising hell at the universities, the last lefty stronghold is Hollywood.

I am waiting for a well made, well received, genuinely conservative film to be made. When I see that, I will know we are going to win.

“>>>>I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals.”

THat's how the GOP won in 2002. The Dems were off the rail, stoned on their own narcissism and passed out cold in the ditch.

Watch Fox for just a few hours and you encounter a conservative presence unlike anything on TV. Where CBS and CNN would lead a news item about an impending execution with a candlelight vigil of death-penalty protesters, for instance, at Fox “it is de rigueur that we put in the lead why that person is being executed,” senior vice president for news John Moody noted a while back. Fox viewers will see Republican politicians and conservative pundits sought out for meaningful quotations, skepticism voiced about environmentalist doomsaying, religion treated with respect, pro-life views given airtime—and much else they’d never find on other networks.

It’s amazing to watch leftists scream in horror at this sort of “journalism.”

That’s not what they taught in journalism school.

Cartman [holding his nose]: Oh my God, it smells like ass out here! Choir teacher: All right, that does it! Eric Cartman, you respect other cultures this instant. Cartman: I wasn’t saying anything about their culture, I was just saying their city smells like ass.

It’s even funnier to read it in a serious article than to see it in the cartoon!

Although some of my conservative friends love the Simpsons, seeing the words "South Park" and "culture" in the same article sticks in my craw.

Long article. Good, but long.

Took them an awful long time to get to the incredible power of the web--and I don't know how they can discuss the power of conservativism in this medium without mentioning Free Republic.

I agree with what you say.

I just hope that one day, you and I are proven wrong.

makes me wonder if some posters on FR are part of "truth" squads of various political candidates or groups.

You seem to be implying that a "monopoly of the Right" is somehow different from a "monopoly of the Left"

A MONOPOLY IS A MONOPOLY AND IS ANTI-FREEDOM.

We just get lulled to sleep by those who use mere words as if they were somehow connected to Reality.

There is a "leftist line" and a "rightist" line.
....sleep....sleep.....sleep....sleep.......

The power structure is un-changed....(though we like to pretend it is changing and we have helped effect the change)
......sleep....sleep.....sleep.....

YOUR USE OF THE WORD "HATE" IS VERY REVEALING.

We have been very well "conditioned" to use it, and we do so always.

Its use prevents real thinking and communication.......with eachother, as well as the "terrifying and terrible".....THEM!!

Perhaps some REAL CONSERVATIVE activity might be useful

FOX News is forcing them to actually practice good journalism. Or at least look very stupid when they don't.
