I'm reveling in Amanda's 6th grade writing skills.

Common sense is the driving force behind conservatism.

But I do think there are some fringe elements that are totally self centered and call themselves conservative that meets her description that I’m ashamed to be associated with.

That would be the completely disavow any governmental responsibility for the poor and needy, all taxes are theft, as well as the shoot the child for a pack of gum crowd.

[ClearCase_guy]

I've known many Leftists who learn that I am a Conservative and accuse me of being a dictator who wants to control everyone, take away their fun, and oppress minorities.

I say, "No. I just want you to leave me alone."

But they aren't buying it. They know that Conservatives are control freaks who get off on messing up other people's lives.

It's projection, of course.

Only one response needed:

"Feminist and progressive writer.

Hee hee.

[Paradox]

WHat a load. Conservatives, ESPECIALLY religious conservatives, are, as a group, more giving and generous WITH THEIR OWN MONEY than Liberals...

I don’t know who Amanda Marcotte is but she needs a spanking. With a paddle.

[Neverforget01]

Horowitz shouldn’t have given the woman the publicity. She is nuts.

[Gondring]

And now that she’s no longer cute, she’s totally worthless...

(I hope you read this, Miss Marcotte, and decide to use it to illustrate the hostility and sexism of conservatives [and, thereby, reveal your own lack of intelligence and comprehension of literary techniques].)

[popdonnelly]

Man, has this woman got it backwards. I’ve met some truly sadistic liberals in my life.

[abb]

Remember when she wandered off into the Duke Lacrosse Frame? We cut her liver out and fed it to her.

PROJECTION

[Tijeras_Slim]

This is too stupid to answer, anyway I’m too busy pulling the wings off butterflies.

[Rummyfan]

Amanda Marcotte must have been abused as a child. She should seek professional help rather than trying to self-treat through publishing. Freud would have a field day with her obvious projection.

[KarlInOhio]

Maybe rather than sadism it is the lack of masochism. I don’t like being tied to a post and made to scream “Tax me harder, Commissioner Shulman. Audit me like you mean it!” every April 15 (and June 15, and September 15 and January 15).

[BitWielder1]

Asking people to get a job to support themselves and not live on government handouts is sadism?
Uh-huh!
I on the other hand believe that raising taxes on a shrinking working population in order to support a growing class of freeloaders is even more sadistic.

[B.Lyle]

My favourite part of Marcotte's career was when she published a book on feminism full of pictures of black men in masks with spears being beaten by a white woman. She was more hated than bush for a while.

[PapaBear3625]

Amanda Marcotte appears to be a bitter and self-centered person who has not forgiven the male half of the population for not kneeling down and worshiping her in her high school and college days.

[BigCinBigD]

I’ll bet her arm pits look like the Amazon on a humid day.

[listenhillary]

I’ve made this point before.

Overly protective mother decides she will carry her newborn instead of facing the risk of letting the child learn to walk. Fast forward 5 years.

Who is cruel now?
