What applies to a part does not immediately apply to the whole. Please, enlighten us with examples of non-selfish and non-racist and non-greedy conservatives. I think every conservative I’ve ever met bases his or her political philosophy on one of those basic characteristics. Usually racism is the number one, but I’ve met non-racist conservatives. Their greediness and selfishness is readily apparent. ---

> [@GIGObuster](#): > > I can find batshit insane positions from the Republicans that are certifiably untrue about climate change, health care, nativism, and abortion. A few of those batshit insane ideas driving the current crop of Republican leaders (like going against abortion even in the case of rape) are based on **religious** reasons, something that a guy like you should already **know** how dumb is to use that to base one’s positions. Guess what? I can find batshit insane positions from the Demcrats that are certifiably untrue about the same topics. But I most assuredly agree with you that the religious whackjobs are the bane of our existence. The worst mistake the Republican Party ever made was getting in bed with them. ---

Sure you can still find some honest conservatives so long as they aren’t elected. Incumbency warps the mind. Its not love of money that is the root of evil, its love of power. Money is just one of its more obvious forms. ---

The worst mistake the Republican Party ever made was getting in bed with them. It was either that or lose. Its no coincidence that all those anti-gay marriage propositions were on the same ballot as Bush v Kerry. Cynics are wrong, they are amoral, but they are shrewd sumbitches. ---

The worst mistake the Republican Party ever made was getting in bed with them. Good, keep that thought because on that front the religious whack jobs are in power and dictating policy. GOP: No Climate Change because, Bible Using the Bible to Resist Climate Action: A Supercut God, Bible Prove Climate Change A Hoax (Say GOP Reps) And there is a good chance that Senator Inhofe will gain the gavel in senate commissions regarding this issue if the Republicans take the senate. As Bill Moyers declared after pondering on that prospect: “God help us” ;)😃 ---

You’re a complete fucking idiot. > [@Clothahump](#): > > :D:D:D > > Oh, ghods, that was funny! I’m sorry, am I missing something? The administration’s premier policy enactment is essentially the single most conservative possible health care reform that’s liable to do anything. These people are not radicals unless your idea of radical is “someone who believes the government isn’t going to murder you and your children”. Care to explain what your issue with this is? > [@Clothahump](#): > > Guess what? I can find batshit insane positions from the Demcrats that are certifiably untrue about the same topics. THEN FUCKING DO IT! Don’t just stand there with your dick in your hand saying “yeah, well, I totally could do that… if I wanted to”. ACTUALLY FUCKING DO IT! ---

BTW, [a recent article](http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/05/religious-right-real-origins-107133.html) claims that the (circa 1970) rise of the religious right was in support of racial segregation. ---

As for your intelligence, your posts in this thread show a certain envy and jealousy for a certain “complete fucking moron”.
