I will agree there are smart respectable conservatives, and add there are even smart respectable Republicans. I am always thrilled when I meet one, because it makes me feel a little better since so many are bat shit crazy and incapable of critical thought. What I find really funny is the notion that conservatism owns words like "character," "patriotism," "faith" etc.
Liberals, on the other hand, stand around our front yards with our couches burning while we eat aborted babies smeared on toast and dream about ways to destroy America. And if we see a little old lady waiting to cross the street we knock her down...
It is just funny how people ***** about the non-existent liberal media, as well as how polarized the country is. Well, when media vilifies liberalism for decades and the masses still believe somehow there is a liberal media bias, yeah that is pretty polarizing. Luckily, the "character" at the foundation of conservatism would never allow such a thing to happen, right?
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
