I got news for Neal. Even if there were ZERO dumb/ignorant conservatives and even if conservatives NEVER did anything stupid, leftists would STILL think conservatives are idiots.

Boortz opened my eyes. I am what William Safire called a "LIBCON" libertarian conservative. You will find that even Boortz is on on the outs with the Libertarian party because of his stand on closed borders and fighting the Islamofascists. Nitwits like the flat earthers in the story are why I am registered indep. I refuse to get involved with "holy roller" issues. These are matters of personal faith not gov't policy.
Is this the gay son?
Well we do have:
McCain
Hagel
Gulianni
Stowe
Specter
Graham
No wonder they think we're idiots.
"What's wrong with these people? Religious zealots, of any faith, are a sham"
Democrat looney zealots make ours look positively boring. We need a picture inserted here of the charming man defacating on a U.S. flag during a "peace" march. Or maybe a clip of dems spitting on soldiers.
It's easier to accept differing religious viewpoints than having to observe the vulgar actions of the looney left.
If not, he isn't talking about you...
If you do, you've got bigger issues that Boortz does...
Excellent! My point exactly in post #40.
According to Einstein the Earth does not rotate around the Sun, they are actually moving in straight lines. Their gravity causes space to curve giving the appearance of oval orbits.
After all, science has been spectacularly wrong so many times throughout history ... more times, in fact than it has been right.
Every generation has scoffed at the scientific follies of the past while assuming the theories of the present were infallible.
Not to support this fixed-earth business ... just giving a little perspective.
So Bortz thinks Libertarians are not conservative? Or even vice-versa, WTF?
I'm not sure about the first two allegations, but here is what Conservapedia has to say about earth:
The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Its equatorial circumference (measured around the equator) is 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers), and the polar circumference is slightly less at 24,809 miles (40,008 km).[1] The reason its metric circumference is so close to the "round number" of 40,000 is that the French defined the kilometer as 1/10,000th the distance from the equator to the North Pole. The Earth orbits at an average distance of about 93 million miles (150 million km) from the Sun in an almost circular orbit
It looks like conservapedia believes in a spherical earth that rotates around the sun just like the rest of us.
That they do. Global Warming. Gun control. Socialist economic policies. The list of liberal idiocy is damn near endless.
This in no way negates the fact that flat-earth types don't do our side any favors either. Nor do the conspiracy nuts or other "fringe" elements.
We can point at lib-tards all we want. However, we should be aware we ain't perfect either. Sounds like common sense to me.
I don't have any problem with them participating in the political process. The rest of us do to.
As Ronald Reagan said, to paraphrase, it isn't that liberals are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't true.
Certain tribes claim that their peoples have always lived exactly where they were when found by the white man. This is not true, as many migrations have occurred. Notably, the Sioux uses to live around the Great Lakes. They didn't start moving onto the Great Plains until the late 18th century.
The claim they make is in rejecting the "white man's theory" that they came across the Bering land bridge some 10,000+ years ago. They claim they have literally "always" lived here. And purportedly scientific books treat their claims with great respect.
My only question is why idiotic unscientific tribal beliefs are treated respectfully when they are those of the Sioux tribe, but not when they are those of the fundamentalist tribe?
