By misrepresenting, mis-characterizing, mis-labeling, disparaging, misunderstanding, accusing, lambasting, disrespecting, denigrating, criminalizing, marginalizing, lampooning, personally attacking, generalizing, maligning, silencing, threatening, and generally caterwauling against anything and anyone who has anything to do with the so-called "tea party" "movement" ...or conservatism in general for that matter. (OK, I guess I was "generalizing" there.) The same thing can be said about the so called conservatives who label anyone not goose stepping to their fun little Christian identity wet dream... including other republicans who they lovingly refer to as RINO's as libruuls. Better pull that cedar log outta that RIGHT eye. See there!? you're doing it now! Some conservs do accept some Christian ideals and reject others. Some don't. Same for Jewish ideals. ..even Muslim, Hindu, atheist and others, too. Plenty of Dems of all religions (or none) too. Whether we admit it or not, the rules of western society are built upon 10000 years of Middle Eastern history and working out the hard way how to get along with each other. Still a long way to go. (another interesting topic, but not completely off topic here.) As far as RINOs go, they also believe what they believe with regards to running the gov't. I would rather have them voting for C ideals rather than L but some don't. If they don't follow the Republican Party line they are by definition RINOs. Some may be libs. Actually, I am a RINO "technically". But at least I now know that it is disparaging to call someone a "liberal". I'll use prog or commie from now on. Or maybe you could suggest a label. I'll play along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,610 #27 May 18, 2014 Quote No ...but it does look like I've confused you. I do not think the left was overreacting to a few hundred protestors. What I'm saying is that the OP is saying that the appearance of a few hundred protestors proves that conservatives in the US are small in number. Then in that case you don't think the left is overreacting, right? So why the rant? Quote The point is that some on the left will project the actions or words of even a single conservative onto conservatism in general. Just take a stroll through SC. If you think that's a trait exclusive to the left then you're clinically insane.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
