Conservatism is hated because it is much more moral than godless liberalism that murders, slanders, steals, hates, and destroys life in the womb and on the earth.
Liberalism is a lie of Satan and deceives the weak minded of America and the world and hogties those who believe only God is good and that in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.
Liberalism is fascism masked as goodness but marked by bigotry, hatred, materialism, godless perversions and a worship of death and Lucifer. Nevertheless, God will destroy the wicked from off the earth during the 7 year tribulation ordained by Christ Jesus and the Father. The Holy Spirit of God teaches Christians who believe the Word of God is indeed, the Word of God. Save yourselves from this evil and untoward generation of fools, liars and thieves.
Come LORD Jesus, rule and reign in the midst of all thine enemies.

He pretty much re-iterates what Bernie Goldberg states in his book BIAS

Might make good reading for my conservative parents, marooned in the People’s Republic of Boulder.

Conservatives = People of inner strength and character.

Liberals = Life's Losers.

So simple, yet so easy to deny...

Excellent read - thank you for sharing. It mirrors my own experiences in many ways: growing up as a Jewish conservative in a highly liberal northeastern community in the 1960s. Once I realized that I was a conservative (at about age 17 or 18) I learned to keep my mouth shut, if only to avoid social ostracism. My parents were not "Reds" as were Mr. Stein's, but Truman Democrats; socially moderate but very anti-Communist. They were lukewarm about JFK, hated LBJ with a passion, and wound up voting for Nixon. I don't think they ever shared that fact with more than a handful of friends, for the reasons Mr. Stein well describes.

<>i>"So in some ways it could be fair to say that leftism is a psychological disorder?"

BINGO!

Conservatives need facts, and “bumper-sticker” examples and questions, to put liberals on the defensive.

“The Rich” CREATE Jobs!
Increased taxes destroy destroy them!

and then there’s my tag line....

Good stuff!

ping.

Whew! I thought it was just me. Glad someone took the time to write a book for us stranded in a sea of Obambi bumper stickers.

And, yes, I am afraid to put any thought-provoking bumper-sticker on for fear of violence.

I actually enjoy having arguments with liberals.

People who don’t live in areas like mine really don’t understand how inept and uninformed these people are. It is really easy since these people never have a thought or belief challenged in their lives and when they encounter someone like me they just foam at the mouth and spout off nonsense. The best part of living here is that everyone assumes that you are liberal like them and then they go and say some of the most ridiculous statements. Free entertainment.

Harry Stein talked about his book “I Can’t Believe I’m Sitting Next to a Republican” on CSPAN-2 Booknotes weekend before last. This will probably be rebroadcast. It was an interesting program.

Read his ‘How I Accidentally Joined the Vast Right-Wing Cons... ‘; enjoyed that one; definitely look forward to Harry’s unfolding story. . .

Free entertainment

Sometimes it is. When I'm in the mood for it.

However, Connecticut is full of politically apathetic people. I spend more time refuting the MSM than discussing the errors of Chomsky.

Most of the time its just tedious. Just recently tried to explain that the 2nd ammendment is the final recourse that citizens have against a tyrannical government. All the anti-gun person could say was "you're wrong" but gave no reason why. Tedious.

I actually enjoy having arguments with liberals.

Living in NYC I have come to enjoy it a little, after yeras of feeling tortured. I came to see that even the very “educated” don’t know anything — though arguing factually doesn’t get you anywhere, because I define a liberal as somoen to whom facts cannot possibly mkae any difference. Still, it’s sooo easy to show them as ignoramuses, lots of fun with the arrogant Ivy leaguers.
ANd I have not met one Deomocrat, including a woman who worked on Clinton’s campaign, who has even heard of Alinsky. It’s laughable.

New tagline!

“What would a leftist do without his self-righteousness?”

[longtermmemmory]

I am noticing people are NOT affraid to speak against Obama and the Democrat Party thugs. People are OPENLY speaking against Obama AS A FAILURE.

Not writing him off, just that Obama is a nut.
