I needed a picture for this post, so I googled “Crazy Morons” and look who showed up in Google’s images: Glenn Beck, sobbing. Yep. He’s nuttier than squirrel poo.
There seems to be a movement afoot by us regular people demanding that we be told the truth. We don’t need the hacks of either side to try and con us with their made up stories. We’re fed-up with dimwitted lemmings and fools. We want honest debate based on honest difference of opinion. It’s time to separate the real conservatives from the frauds that have hijacked the party with their lies and histrionics. Please…. Cut the Crap!!! site LINK has an interesting opinion piece about the need to salvage the true conservatives from the rat pen that has become the last fragments of the GOP. Common sense conservative voices have been drowned out by self-absorbed nutters like Beck, Limbaugh, Palin, Coulter…. Heck, we have our own home-grown examples around here too: the Jannies, Trannies, SAEA, SAUSD, the Liberal and the Red blogs. Ambitious cabals that use trickery as cover for incompetence and deceit.
Let’s get back to Milt Shook’s site about cutting the crap. I think the whole article is worth the read, especially if you expect way more out of the Republicans than what they have now. We really do need a two party system. Left to their own devices, the Democrats will crash and burn this country. But the Republicans are going to have to salvage the true conservatives and send the nutters packing if they are ever going to be taken seriously again and take their party back!
~~Snip~~
“I don’t call real conservatives names; just right wingers. One of the reasons the debate has turned to crap over the years is because people on the left treat the garbage coming from idiots like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and Michelle Malkin with the same deference as the statements made by true conservatives. For example, though I disagree with them on most things, I have a lot of respect for people like PJ O’Rourke, George Will and Orrin Hatch. I always had respect for Ron Silver, God rest his soul, even when he went a little crazy after 9/11, and I respected William F Buckley, as well. One of my favorite people in the world is Jim Wallis, who is a conservative who actually seems to believe in God as something other than a political tool The reason I respect them is because, though I disagree with them on most things, they engage(d) in honest debate. You will never see me badmouth a real conservative because of an honest difference of opinion; but I despise liars and charlatans; especially those who prey upon the dimwitted, because they know they’re gullible , and will parrot their bullshit as if it’s real and fact-based, which it most certainly is not.
“In my view, attempting to engage in nice cordial debate with such people is an insult to true conservatives. In fact, it’s worse, because it elevates these morons to a level they don’t deserve. You don’t think it’s an insult to conservative thinkers (and there are many, although they are increasingly drowned out) to equate them with the vile Ann Coulter, or the bald-faced liar Sean Hannity? There are always multiple ways to look at any issue, folks, but there is only one set of facts, and these people try to drown those facts in a pool of lies. When we treat their lies as “just wrong,” we give them more credibility than they deserve. There is no way to deal nicely with liars who have captive audiences in the millions; you have to not only debunk the lies, you have to discredit them.That doesn’t mean adopting their tactics, of course; you don’t fight lies with more lies. You fight lies with the truth, and the fact that they’re liars is the truth.
If we’re going to take back this country, we have to do it honestly, which means we have to call these people what they are. We must differentiate between people who have honest disagreements with us from those who lie and demagogue. It’s okay to call a lie a lie. We have to call liars liars. We have to call idiots idiots. And we have to call the gullible morons who repeat this crap gullible morons. If we have any respect at all for the “loyal opposition,” we must make sure the average person can differentiate between them and the liars on the far right.That means creating a very wide, thick line between them.”
*OK, here are few people who do not respresent the Republican Party: Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Pat Buchanan, Newt Gingrich, Bob Barr…..everyone NOW on Fox News except Brett Hume, Neil Cavuto and if you can imagine….Geraldo!
The News Noise is an outrage! MSNBC is just as
bad with Keith O and Rachael…….since they both have sold out to the extreme.
What can we watch anymore? Right now we are stuck watching CNBC….with the KTLA Morning Show…and Dodgers Baseball. And we hate to
watch Baseball.
Our Sunday News Shows….are the worst! If we could only watch the Afganistan Presidential Debates…think how much richer in spirit we might be!
Even C-SPAN is losing it……..inviting the guy
from RED STATE was extremely terrible. These are not Reagan Republicans…or even Bush II Republicans…….in fact: Who are they?
OK…sorry for the purge…..but it is all pretty bad right now….no matter what party you belong to!
I repect my Beck, because he cares about the direction this country is going in and i agree.
Their is nothing crazy about me, i don’t seam to beable to cry as easy as Mr. Beck, most likley because i’m an Ice Queen!
But, i can tell you without a doub’t as crazy as he seams to you, he is right on the mark about the Federal and state Governments, they are as Corrupt as becks says they are!
The name calling is funny to a point, but this is getting out of hand. I don’t even want to know if I’m a real conservative. I generally agreed with Goldwater and Reagan? Does that make me real? The Beck rant seems to be an apology for the federal government expanding its role in health care, and I disagree with that. Have I stopped being real and started being a wingnut?
P.S., what is wingnut (in this context)?
It would be interesting to find out what RV thinks IS conservative. 40% of this country and now more people in EVERY state are conservative than liberal. Now I ask you, is the problem that conservatives are running off to join the Democrat Party, or that Republicans just dont give them a reason to vote? McCain offered nothing but “I know how to work with Democrats.” And Republicans lost. People don’t WANT that. They want principles.
Oh, and one can play all day in the world of what IS NOT.
What Rachel Maddow thinks IS NOT Conservative.
Finding no disagreement with the Socialist Parties of Western Europe IS NOT Conservative.
Believing you suddenly have more morality than the last 2500 years IS NOT Conservative.
Having contempt for individualism IS NOT Conservative.
Being a progressive Republican or a progressive Democrat IS NOT Conservative.
Making government bigger so people are smaller IS NOT Conservative.
Believing that collective efforts will succeed IS NOT Conservative.
Blaming your country before applying the same standard to the rest of the world IS NOT Conservative.
Believing people who disagree with you are evil or corrupt IS NOT Conservative.
Name calling is an indication of lack of brain power, which is definitely NOT Conservative.
Believing that elitists makes better decisions IS NOT Conservative.
Idolatry IS NOT Conservative.
Equality before liberty IS NOT Conservative.
Class hatred IS NOT Conservative.
Victimology IS NOT Conservative.
Making people dependent IS NOT Conservative.
ad nauseum…
“Believing you suddenly have more morality than the last 2500 years IS NOT Conservative.”
What does that mean? Explain… Mr. Freedom.
I would consider myself very conservative, and what is a Conservative??
Well as for myself:
1. Hard worker!
2. I have common sense!
3. Can’t stand people who free load off other’s using the excuse of their race or gender.
4. I have been through some tough times, but i have always made it through.
5. My family comes before everything, and my kids education is my # 1 priority!
6. I have an interest in politics and keep up to date with current events in the us and around the world.
7. I pay my taxes
8. Go to Mass most sunday’s.
10. And respect other views and opinions, even if they are off the wall.
I think in general this is a conservative.
What is a liberal?
1. Mostly White.
2. Rich, educated, public Servants, (thats a joke, Right). This encludes: Educators, Politicans,ect…….
3. Can’t stand their own race, because they think were all like them.
4. See’s themselves as Givers, when infact they are takers of freedoms, and free will.
5. Can’t stand their Country, because they have the silver spoon mentality and have never known what it is like to struggle in their own country or in another country.
6. Most were in their late teen’s/early 20’s in the 1960’s “the worst generation”, this country, has known and who have almost distroyed the country, “screwing over my generation!”.
7. They think weak minded and irresponsible people are more important to this county than
the responsible and prosperous.
8. The big one, “Elitist’s”, They think they know best and the rest of us needs direction!.
The above is why liberals are dying and conservatism grows!
Michelle Quinn, instead of saying liberals “Can’t stand their own race” why not use the term you are most comfortable with and call us “Race Traitors”?
Thank you and have a nice John Birch.
Traitors, Is a term used when one betrays your own country, it has nothing to do with race.
So i will stick with what i wrote!
You have a nice John Birch too, what ever that mean’s?
In my opinion, this country seems scarier now then it has been has been in a long time. Why?
1: There are a LOT of racists out there, TRUST ME! Most of them are harmless when pushed, and have no real idea why they hate so much, but rest assured that these people HATE black people and they hate Obama. They just plain HATE.
2: there are a lot of phony-baloney Christians out there, pushing there beliefs on US! Back the FK off! In the US we have freedom Of religion and freedom FROM religion. These people make real-life decisions based on lots of bullshit.
3: Most people I KNOW, who have one or both of these traits, are conservative, and VERY vocal about it. WTF?
Now I see people on both sides as going tit for tat way too much, and losing site of what is important.
Take healthcare. I cannot believe that there are people who parrot the insurance industry’s talking points, against their own best interests!
Dumb.
Okay, I have purged. Carry on.
Hey, BTW, check out my band! We play 8-28 at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana!
Forgive me Michelle, I assumed you had a basic sense of history. I do appreciate that your children’s education comes “1st”. By your definition they will be liberal. Well done.
