DC Tom Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Without commenting on any specific poster on this board, to say that "we conservatives" do this...shows ample cool-aid on your part. Most "conservatives" cannot see that they--as a group--as partisan as the dems in much the same way that dems can't see how racist many of them are. Really, anyone who group-identifies is partisan to some significant degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I reject this, as you'll see multiple examples of large scale disagreements among those who you likely view as "conservative". You're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most "conservatives" cannot see that they--as a group--as partisan as the dems in much the same way that dems can't see how racist many of them are. So, conservatives cannot feel the same way about certain issues without being labeled as Kool-Aide embibers? I for one have conservative values that herald conservative fiscal policies along with adherence to the constitution and a strong military. Although I'm personally against abortion it is the law of the land and I think that it is a personal and private decision. I wish that some of my fellow conservatives would shut up about the social aspects, but since we are not clones of each other that is not possible. You may want to paint us all the same but that is not the case. I would say that the vast majority of conservatives stand on principle, not party. Also, a shout out to the libertarians who are the soul of the conservative movement while we that claim conservatism for our own are the worker bees.

B-Man Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Tea Party Still Winning GOP Debate By Chuck Todd FIRST THOUGHTS. Why the Tea Party is still winning: Yes, some of the more prominent establishment Republicans (John Cornyn, Pete Sessions, Greg Abbott) won their primaries on Tuesday. And, yes, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell seems well positioned to win his in May. But if you want to see signs that the Tea Party is winning right now -- and that McConnell and other Senate Republicans facing primary challenges possibly will have to fight for their political lives -- just look what has transpired over the past week. While Cornyn won his primary and avoided a run-off, 41% of Texas Republicans still voted for someone else, including Rep. Steve Stockman, who ran a non-existent campaign (can you run a NON-campaign?). In other words, more than 4 in 10 GOP voters broke against the No. 2 Senate Republican, even though he hasn’t committed any ideological offenses (other than recruiting Charlie Crist for the Senate in 2009). Then look at the other results from Texas: The VERY conservative Dan Patrick seems poised to become the state’s next lieutenant governor, and a handful of incumbent GOP state legislators lost to primary challengers. And then yesterday, we saw McConnell raise a rifle at CPAC, suggesting that he needed a stunt to win over the conservative crowd. (The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin speculated that McConnell brought a gun, in part, because that would preempt any boos from the audience.) And why GOP incumbents are going to have to fight tooth and nail to hold on to their jobs: More at link: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/tea-party-still-winning-gop-debate-n46871 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fine and good, so long as you understand there are a great many Americans who could write a similar paragraph describing themselves including why they believe in progressive policies. Also, you are a kool-aide drinker b/c of the fetish you have for mindless group-think/knee-jerk reactions to what the progressives attempt to do. It really is that simple...don't feel bad though you aren't B-Man...he drinks so much kool-aide he serves it to others daily.

I don't remember the last time I saw progressives this worried about a midterm election that was still a full eight months out. What could have you so scared? I mean, the economy is going great. No. Wait... Well, unemployment keeps going down. No. Wait. Well, Obamacare is a success! No. Wait. Well, the rest of the world is at peace and totally working with us! No. Wait. I'm sure there's something worth talking about. Just gimme a sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 What a Difference a Year in the Life of Ben Carson Makes by Tim Cavanaugh Leftwing racists are attacking Johns Hopkins University physician Ben Carson, who delivered a crowd-pleasing speech Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference. The indispensable Twitchy Team collects many jaw-dropping assaults on Carson as a thinker, a professional, a leader, an American, and a human being. Carson is an “Uncle Tom,” tweets self-described comedian Laura Levites. {snip}.........Many more bigot examples listed at the link The high toxicity of progressive venom may be partly explained by Carson’s personal history. Though few Americans may have been aware of Carson prior to his breakthrough speech in the presence of President Obama at a 2013 prayer breakfast, fewer still thought of him as a political player in any regard. Carson pointed out Saturday that three signers of the Declaration of Independence were physicians — but it’s clear the leftists attacking him are not overly concerned about his skill in operating, literally, on people’s brains. The embrace between Carson and the Republican Party since the prayer breakfast has been mutual and rapid enough to come as a shock to progressive bigots. In retaliation they have subjected Carson to a string of small-bore sitzkriegs such as a petition demanding that he not give a Johns Hopkins commencement address. These are unlikely to hurt Carson’s standing as either a public figure or potential politician. If they had a case against Carson, the Democrats wouldn’t be going straight to the whip.

Azalin Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Democrats and liberals preach tolerance. ...but only to causes they agree with. that's because they're not free-thinkers. they need to be led, which is why they worship a centralized authority that imposes itself upon the citizenry. they emphasize race by categorizing minorities because they believe minorities are incapable of succeeding on their own.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Oh, look!!!!! I found a clear path to citizenship, and all it required was a quick Google search! I'm sorry. I thought I asked for a link to the reform plan that is supported 100 % by the Republicans. You know damn well that the aforementioned "Latino vote" was in reference to them wanting a better path to citizenship for the illegals, some of which may be their family members.
