Most American “conservatives” survive on a government paycheck paid for by New York and California “libruls.”

Or inherit or marry money, of course.

By yours is a nice fantasy…and fantasies make you happy!

If this is not a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek statement, then I would like to nominate alphie for this years HotAir Drivel award.

The annual HT Drivel Award is given to those individuals who, through their comments and responses, provide the best examples of “drivel” during the year.

This is not an honor, alphie. There is no “Mr. Drivel” upon whom this award is based.

For your benefit, and to hopefully raise your intellect by at least a quarter point, “Drivel” is defined as:

1. Making silly, irrelevant, inaccurate, foolish, and idiotic statements.
2. To let saliva dribble from the mouth.

You have provided abundant evidence of number 1 with your statement. And while I certainly have no evidence of number two, I suspect that you would also meet that criteria. However, to be considered for this year’s award, you will have to provide a picture of yourself drooling.

Good Luck!

By overturning Jim Crow laws, liberals gave the victims of foul injustice greater control over their lives.

– bold mine

To all who are complementing Mr. Brooks aim: Even before coffee, this is a whopper of a myth to be swallowing unnoticed.

Are they slipping Kool Aid into the water water supply or have our crtitcal thinking skills atrophied and the standards bar for historical accuracy been lowered so far we no longer enven notice?

/sarc – with a lite tap on the noggin to wake everybody up

Deftly explains why I am not a liberal, in spite of the vast majority of my family and my church being such. I would only like to add that the relative economic success that often follows taking personal responsability (at least in America) helps reinforce this trend.

Only because I don’t feel like arguing with you tonight, my friend :)

I didn’t realize it right away, but I did have a plan. ;)

A conversation, we can always have. Monsieur ami ^_^

Excuse me?

Come again?

It’s that easy is it?

I don’t know what world you are living in, but I hope it has white puffy clouds against a purple sky….

And all this time, I actually read my books in school, attened classes, took and passed the exams, applied for entry level jobs, worked my way up by showing up everyday and trying to improve myself, living on a budget, starting a family on my own, being a responsible parent, all the time fighting affirmative action, higher taxes and greater regulation on my freedoms…………

If I only knew that a government paycheck or someone out there had money for me to inherit…. and I didn’t have to do a damn thing for it, but be a victim.

Who knew?

Thanks alphie, in the next life, I will try to remember that!

American Conservatives: Personal Responsibility

American Liberals: I’m Owed

Sound about right?

This is why we have religious liberals that are no more of a “new creation” than buggy amber. It always comes back to the spiritual condition of the man.

TAL

LY!

American conservatives tend to believe that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can succeed.

No one knows that better than me.

So much for right versus left. Mr Brooks also finds that extremists of both sides are happier than moderates. Some 35% of those who call themselves “extremely liberal” say they are very happy, against only 22% of ordinary liberals. For conservatives, the gap is smaller: 48% to 43%. Extremists are happy, Mr Brooks reckons, because they are certain they are right. Alas, this often leads them to conclude that the other side is not merely wrong, but evil. Some two-thirds of America’s far left and half of the far right say they dislike not only the other side’s ideas, but also the people who hold them.

hmm.

Happiness and hate, hand-in-hand

The economy is booming here.

But in as much as the American left is now a coalition of groups that define themselves as the victims of social and economic forces, and in as much as its leaders encourage people to feel helpless and aggrieved, he thinks they make America a glummer place.”

Translation: The American left can not deal with good news.

ThankerAgency: I thank-you.

Al Gore must be one happy duck.

Al Gore is a Queer Duck.

The liberals ought to thank God (or Satan, whomever they worship) for conservatives. Whom would they blame for everything if we weren’t gas-guzzling, racist, hateful, heartless, homophobic misogynists?

Wow, it works.
