Why, oh why do conservatives have to appear so stupid? If you guys could put forth intelligent arguments for conservatism instead of making up false caricatures of liberalism you might get somewhere with the half of the country that laughs at you when you write and talk like that. It's the reason that Ann Coulter is a joke.
Illogical idealism? Give me a break. If your idea of conservative logic extends to torture, death squads, spying on Americans and taxing the hell out of our future--as always happens when the Republicans get in control--then your idealism sucks as well.
Conservatives think they see the world for what it really is. Perhaps they do, since all can imagine are people who are as emotionally and spiritually bankrupt as themselves. I see conservatives as the gutless neanderthals who lack the courage to make the world a better place. Speaking of which, when you think you're seeing the world the way it really is you're forgetting to include the many, many people who are willing to give a go at leaving something better behind than a legacy of murderous wars.
Conservatism is defended by people who are just stupid and illogical as those "bleeding heart liberals" you love to caricaturize. And conservatives can't even walk their own walk. Why don't you tell me how many billions we've wasted on this Iraq business? How is that conserving anything? Now tell me how much safer the world is for democracy? Democracy, by the way, is the last thing conservatives are interested in so it's just fricking hilarious when they talk about spreading it around the world.
So, when you get out your bat to beat up on liberal caricatures just remember that there are lots and lots of people out in "the real world" who think you're just as idiotic.
