Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.
Conservatives
They plan to ride into the White House on the Sweet Talk Express. Well, think again. Bush and Cheney are not compassionate conservatives. They are ruthless reactionaries.
Conservatives unwittingly side with the social forces that contribute to the destruction of traditional values.
Lyndon Johnson is not a comfortable model for President Obama to imitate. He is an all-but-forgotten president – pilloried for the failed war in Vietnam and criticized for grandiose reforms conservatives denounce as the epitome of federal social engineering that costs too much and does too little.
Conservatives have no understanding of modern capitalism. They have a distorted understanding of the traditional values they claim to defend.
Fox News never calls up Bobby Seale to articulate a stance in opposition to right-wing conservatives. To me, giving the New Black Panthers a platform on Fox is a subtle tactic to scare people.
Opposition to abortion was one of the ways the Christian right was brought into the Republican Party by conservatives hoping to move the party further right. Now, of course, the tail is wagging the dog.
As governor of California in 1970, Reagan endeared himself to millions of conservatives nationwide when he publicly rebuked the anti-war movement that was exploding on college campuses.
Conservatives and liberals can find common ground.
Instead of taking environmentalism away from the left, conservatives condemn it as a counsel of doom.
