Molly Ivins: The Uncompassionate Conservative

The problem with the communist/socialist/liberal/democrats, is they have to forget over 200 yrs. of history, to advance their agenda. The rise of this country can unequivocally be attributed to the constitutional republic our founders so painstakingly conceived in Philadelphia. Their whole agenda is antithetical to what our founders set down. Unfortunately with the liberal press, the election of socialists, and writers of revisionist history, they have made many inroads, which must be stopped and reversed.

The fish-lips and newly blued hair don't help anything either. Isn't it interesting that when I think leftists these days the first image that comes to mind is a fat, bald, grey-haired man with a teeny-tiny little pony-tail in the back made out of what's left.

I guess I've NEVER heard him "revel in the fact he never owned a passport".....and, yes, he's playing to the "stupid" masses, who also vote. Hopefully, we see the smarter side of him....but, I know what you mean, it's just that with the dumbing down of America, I think politics is dumbed down, too.

ROFL! Thanks.

I'm not positive, but I believe that Kennedy and crew were sitting idle in the ocean, perhaps catching a few ZZZzzzz's, and a Jap destroyer just happened to run them down and cut the PT boat in two. They didn't get rescued for about three days, IINM. Several crewmen were killed. Kennedy was genuinely heroic in managing the disaster after it happened, but the elephant in the room has always been he was the one in charge that managed to get run down by the destroyer.

Bush has simply never acknowledged that not only was he born with a silver spoon in his mouth -- he's been eating off it ever since.

I can't figure out why she's acting like this is a bad thing. Does Bush have to feel guilty about his family's success? It's not like he's shown himself incapable of doing business himself...He did become president, and his daddy did not elect him.

DRUNK. AGAIN.

My local paper prints molly's hate speech regularly, since the editor is a typical RAT lapdog leftie. The drunken old cow is so predictable I don't bother reading her rants.

[ozzymandus]

Glad to see molly has a fan. Why don't you take it back to DU?

[ozzymandus]

This is a conservative site, not a "fair and balanced" site like most of the RAT lapdog media. If you think molly is "fair" and "true", you're as stupid as she is. I wouldn't brag about that, "Master".

This just in:

MANY OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN POLITICS HAD PRIVLEDGED CHILDHOODS.

We now return you to the ongoing thread...

[dfwgator]

The Texas version of Mark Morford...

Only Molly is more masculine.

You must be in excellent physical condition with all of that "jumping to conclusions", "flying off the handle", etc... The poster and I joke about this because they post these things that cause everyone here to get upset at the content of the post. You may draw whatever conclusions you wish about my intelligience but I certainly know when I am being reeled in...

However, if you have a question, feel free. I don't let hostility get in the way of a good discussion.... And perhaps we could all do better if we discuss the issues and not one another's IQ... What specifically do you disagree with regarding the article?...

[dwd1]

BTW, if you read my post, I said some things in the post are true and some are debatable...

[dwd1]

We report! We decide!

[metesky]

Funny how it's OK with the socialists that their idol, shanty Irish Saint Jack, was a phoney war hero, could buy elections, screw anything that moved, hide his physical disabilities from the public, be addicted to speed and steal the presidency from a better man.

[dwd1]

There is a point to be made that Presidents are human beings before anything else... Even Carter lusted in his heart...And I do not know of any President that would not feel like a deer caught in headlights if they were asked to undergo background checks using a polygraph....

Haven't seen one of them without flaws... Not one.... And I think it would be unrealistic of me to expect this to change...

[dwd1]

Just curious... You are not saying that being conservative means that one is not "fair" and/or "balanced", do you? :-) Relax! We have mountains to climb in this country.... Let us not trip over the little rocks...
