The difference between Conservatives and Liberals

Here's another fine example.

Again a video (a commentary and not a news report by the way) taken out of context because the ACLU didn't like him saying most NYC crime was committed by black people (which he supported by statistics). He was supposed to toe the politically correct line of "society is to blame" according to them. I am not at all a fan of O'Reilly and he is a loudmouth and can be obnoxious at times but he does sometimes have valid points. I think he is wrong at least as wrong as he is right but his job is to throw out his opinion to generate controversy. Similar to what the left wing comedians also do (although O'Reilly will attack the right far more frequently than Stewart and Colbert attack the left - if they ever attack the left at all that is).

It's a free country. We are free to choose which channel we watch for our news. Regular viewers of Fox know when there is actual news and when there is opinion shows.
The Five at 5 while entertaining is just 5 people expressing opinions.
KTLA morning news (5) is my coffee buddy. I don't think they are a Fox affiliate.....that's channel 11 here.
Go watch MSNBC so you can spread some more delusional propaganda.

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
I almost wish it was mandatory but I definitely wish the voting age was 25. 18 years old with voting power is a scary thing.
I am going the other direction with this. Stupid people should not vote. We have people coming out of the polls who just voted and can't tell you anything about the people they just voted on or the issues of the current election.

A little lesson on the differences between libs and conservatives. For you liberals out there:

10)
Conservatives believe that individual Americans have a right to defend themselves and their families with guns and that right cannot be taken away by any method short of a Constitutional Amendment, which conservatives would oppose. Liberals believe by taking arms away from law abiding citizens, they can prevent criminals, who aren't going to abide by gun control laws, from using guns in the commission of crimes.

9) Conservatives believe that we should live in a color blind society where every individual is judged on the content of his character and the merits of his actions. On the other hand, liberals believe that it's ok to discriminate based on race as long as it primarily benefits minority groups.

8) Conservatives are capitalists and believe that entrepreneurs who amass great wealth through their own efforts are good for the country and shouldn't be punished for being successful. Liberals are socialists who view successful business owners as people who cheated the system somehow or got lucky. That's why they don't respect high achievers and see them as little more than piggy banks for their programs.

7) Conservatives believe that abortion ends the life of an innocent child and since we believe that infanticide is wrong, we oppose abortion. Most liberals, despite what they'll tell you, believe that abortion ends the life of an innocent child, but they prefer killing the baby to inconveniencing the mother.

6) Conservatives believe in confronting and defeating enemies of the United States before they can harm American citizens. Liberals believe in using law enforcement measures to deal with terrorism, which means that they feel we should allow terrorists to train, plan, and actually attempt to kill Americans before we try to arrest them -- as if you can just send the police around to pick up a terrorist mastermind hiding in Iran or the wilds of Pakistan.

5) Conservatives, but not necessarily Republicans (which is unfortunate), believe it's vitally important to the future of the country to reduce the size of government, keep taxes low, balance the budget, and get this country out of debt. Liberals, and Democrats for that matter, believe in big government, high taxes, and they have never met a new spending program they didn't like, whether we will have to go into debt to pay for it or not.

4) Conservatives believe that government, by its very nature, tends to be inefficient, incompetent, wasteful, and power hungry. That's why we believe that the government that governs least, governs best. Liberals think that the solution to every problem is another government program. Even when those new programs create new problems, often worse than the ones that were being fixed in the first place, the solution is always....you guessed it, another government program.

3) Conservatives are patriotic, believe that America is a great nation, and are primarily interested in looking out for the good of the country. That's why we believe in "American exceptionalism" and "America first." Liberals are internationalists who are more concerned about what Europeans think of us and staying in the good graces of the corrupt bureaucrats who control the UN than looking out for the best interests of this nation.

2) Conservatives, most of them anyway, believe in God and think that the Constitution has been twisted by liberal judges to illegitimately try to purge Christianity from the public square. We also believe, most of us anyway, that this country has been successful in large part because it is a good, Christian nation and if our country ever turns away from the Lord, it will cease to prosper. Liberals, most of them anyway, are hostile to Christianity. That's why, whether you're talking about a school play at Christmas time, a judge putting the Ten Commandments on the wall of his court, or a store employee saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays," liberals are dedicated to driving reminders of Christianity from polite society.

1) Conservatives believe in pursuing policies because they're pragmatic and because they work. Liberals believe in pursuing policies because they're "nice" and make them feel good. Whether the policies they're advocating actually work or not is of secondary importance to them.

Annoy a conservative....Think for yourself
I wasn't talking to you.

Don't tell me you don't know what a conservative is
This is another one of those stories where the difference between the right and the left is so clear. Where are the liberals on television screaming that these earthquakes are God's punishment for the sick sin of conservatism? You won't see any. Instead, the left uses science to place the blame at the feet of the real culprit. No magic here, just facts. But let a hurricane hit New Orleans, and conservatives scream that it is the fault of, "the gays." September 11th attacks? Conservatives blame that on, "the feminists" and, "the abortionists." Earthquake hits California? Conservatives are certain it's Jesus punishing liberals.

I think you're confusing the religious right and conservatives.
Typical mistake for somebody in the Troll Patrol.

Conservatism is a movement fueled largely by fear, hatred and resentment of others, but that kind of thing doesn't work nearly as well when those emotions are directed inwardly.
How is self reliance fueled by fear, hatred or resentment of others?

Because I 100% believe that self reliance is the core principle of being a conservative.

Are you pulling a 728, and just making crap up? Well that would be a requirement to be a member of the TROLL PATROL.
