“How can I love my parents when they are supporters of the most corrupt, willfully ignorant, deceitful, lying administration in our nation’s history?”

No reason whatsoever to read another comment.

My mom is about as liberal as it gets, and I love her dearly. How I became so conservative, the world may never know. Oh well.

I have always disliked the quote about being young and conservative means you’re heartless. Maybe us young conservatives are just ahead of the game, is all. : )

Speaking as a young conservative, young conservatives are only heartless when you consider we don’t feel more for protected minority groups than we do for everyone else. Liberals call that a “compassion gap,” and they propose we fix it by promoting government funding to assuage said victim groups.

I find them …, … smug — feeling that our country is the best in the world — period.

Well, that part pretty well describes me. Maybe I’m not as “worldly” as the author, but for the life of me I can’t think of a better country, or one that I’d prefer to live in.

If you are young and conservative, there’s something wrong with your heart. If you grow older and are still liberal, there’s something wrong with your head!

Thanks, Winston Churchill…at least at 20 there was nothing wrong with my head.

Well Chelsea… you just have to look into your heart and try to forgive them.

Since you don’t have a brain, Chelsea, the least you could do is use your heart.

Funny, my Dad got smarter and smarter as I got into my late 20’s and 30’s!

I guess since I “had no heart” when I was young, I always considered my parents to be brilliant.

I would quote them at school at 15. Bad age for that.

When other kids would snark “Do you always listen to your parents?” I’d snark back “Well, they’ve got more experience than you…you’re 15. What the f* do you know???”

Funny, my Dad got smarter and smarter as I got into my late 20’s and 30’s!

Yea, well my dads intelligence followed a very odd bell curve, when I was very young from about the age of 5 up until the age of 10 he was the smartest man I knew, strangely though the closer I got to 17 the stupider he got, then as I approached 25 he just kept getting smarter and smarter. I was 35 when he died and oddly enough by that time he was once again one of the smartest men that I ever knew.

It’s damn amazing how $hit like that happens…

Sell the little shit into the white slave trade, and see how (s)he enjoys the rest of the magnificent world on their travels.

Pussy.

This is the same kind of world traveler who would come home early from a trip those same parents paid for because “nobody spoke English”.

I spent a couple years in the Phillipines while in the Air Force. One of my co-workers actually had the nerve to comment “This would be a nice place if you got rid of the foreigners.” We had to remind her that we were the foreigners, to which we got a “Oh…yeah”.

Your dad ( not doubting his intelligence, he raised you very well after all), borrowed that phrase from another very smart man…. Winston Churchill

Yes, I knew he was quoting somebody, just didn’t know who. I knew someone here would know!

The one on the last page was most depressing. Someone who says they “miss dialogue with conservatives” and then asks out loud if there are any righty blogs she could go to.

Obviously, such a person is not actually interested because they have never even searched.

Only a Salon.com letter writer could call the people at Salon “amazing” and talk about “the range of tolerance.” Most of them are all a homogeneous group lodged in far-left groupthink. There’s a not one among them who will not equate Bush with Hitler or comdemn Fox News as the source of their problems.

There’s a reason it’s called Salon.com: It’s the internet equivalent of the location where rich white liberals get their hair done and nod their heads together in unison over the accepted gossip of the day.

If you are young and conservative, there’s something wrong with your heart. If you grow older and are still liberal, there’s something wrong with your head!

This statement is drawn from a quote commonly ascribed to Winston Churchill, though many (all liberals I’m sure) question the attribution.

To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.

Thanks. I see the posts here. It’s posts on other threads that aren’t showing up. I’m no techie.

Connie on August 24, 2007 at 2:49 AM

Oh. I haven’t tried posting on other threads.

Not sure what your problem might be.

I’m more sound techie than computer techie.

What threads did you post on? I’ll go there and try a test post.

That should tell us which end the problem is on. Your’s, or HA’s.

First in, and wins the thread.

Sharp enough to shave with.

I just wanted to let you know that both of your test posts showed up.
