Not really, but we will make a deal with conservatives . . . .

If they will stop telling lies about liberals, we will stop telling the truth about them.

Truth?

Yea...I got it. Lies about liberals...truth about conservatives.

Sure.


Like the "fair play" list wasn't a weak, and often irrelevant , and at other times false (and thus common) left wing attempt to counter the common sense and all too often illustrated characteristics of the left wing illustrated in somewhat humorous fashion by the OP.

Yea...you've got something to stand on there... huh.gif


For instance, the OP said:

Succinct, and to the point, and illustrated almost every day by our highly approved of Congress, and by the utterly naive Obama.
I am sure you could counter this "lie" about liberals... wacko.gif

Perhaps this is a counter???

4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don't deserve theirs.


Jesus.
Utterly amazing, and weak.
Yea that's a truth...

Explaining how conservatives believe AIDS victims deserve their disease should be daunting...and I am certain I know where you'll go with this. You're going to mention Reagan, right? And that erroneous and completely false image of him put forth by the un-approved and erroneous left wing network television special about The Reagans that aired some time ago.

Better research the matter before you attempt to tell the "truth" about that.

Hint: AIDS research was something Reagan initiated, and spent 6 billion dollars on...BEFORE the disease was understood!

Sure, you go ahead, by all means tell the "truth" about conservatives...

Liberals would not pretend to know. Ask Georgie . . . . he has that hotline to God, remember?
Cinders
Good one there ^^ Expatriate... yes, Georgie apparently does have that hotline number to God. How special is that? LOL


Interesting funny list there (har har) ... curious, but who created this DEM list?

It sort of reminds me of this interesting funny video called HOW TO SPEAK REPUBLICAN laugh.gif

I see you decline to answer the question...which I rather expected.


Tell me the truth about conservatives...?


(p.s., "Georgie" is NOT one of them).

Typical.

Liberals don't pretend to know...because they don't know.

Forgive me, the whole world knows that Georgie and the truth cannot be mentioned together. I apologize.

The truth about conservatives is best not expressed in words. It has been told in chapters of human misery written by their deceptions and disregard for human life.

Ask about the conservative U.S. government to the people of El Mozote, San Salvador.

Ask about the conservative U.S. government to the people of Chile who watched the CIA install Pinochet as president.

Ask about the conservative U.S. government to the people of Guatemala who watched the CIA overthrow their democratically elected president, Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán.

Ask about the conservative U.S. government to the people of Panama who watched U.S. forces remove their president without permitting the citizens of that nation to resolve the problem in a democratic form.

Ask about the conservative U.S. government to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan who were invaded under the guise of a war against terror even though neither nation had participated in 9/11.

Ask about the conservative U.S. government that removed 8,000 pages from Iraq's weapons report before it was received by most members of the U.N.

And the list could go on for decades more but conservatives will turn a blind eye to these transgressions that brought death and suffering to countless thousands. They are the one who will talk about "removing dictators" while never having the courage or knowledge to recognize that conservatives installed more dictators than it ever removed.

The conservative is an elitist. His source of news is specialized and designed for his particular political dogma by the good people at Fox. He holds Limbaugh in special esteem. Any newspaper owned by Murdoch tells the truth. He is the one who replies to arguments with curt little one-liners but never offers documentation or evidences. His word represents the truth and that is supposed to be sufficient.

Finally, the conservative is the one who makes all this writing useless. His denials roll off his lips with the ease of a Bush lie. His argument is to counter attack, not prove or present something that pretends to be logical. He blames the Democrats in Congress for believing Bush's lies and voting to extend war powers to a president history had taught them that they could trust. He resorts to his terse jibes and the retreats into the sanctity of his fantasy world where the world is a better place because George Bush decided to kill 150,000 innocents in Iraq and remove the horrible dictator that his father had armed and trained.

I think you missed it, Ex..

It's tough when you left wing emotions run over the top of the cup, and flood the page with a bunch of mis-interpretations.

Georgie's not a conservative.
We haven't had a conservative government since about 1988...

We need one, badly.

Well, when he ran for Governor of Texas he described himself as a conservative and, of course, I always believe Bush.

And yes, I remember that conservative government of 1988 . . . . it was hallmarked by names like Clair George, Thomas Demery, Joseph A. Strauss, Rita Lavelle, Deborah Gore Dean, Michael Deaver, Elliott Abrams, Robert C. McFarlane, Philip Winn, Lyn Nofziger, Alan D. Fiers, James G. Watt . . . . . the administration with the most indictments and convictions in history.

But to conservatives, those were simply "the good ole days" and we need another one, badly.

blink.gif Interesting... I thought there was only one rule for being a good Democrat or Republican:

1. You must surrender any individual beliefs you have in favor of a set list of positions and ruthlessly attack anyone who feels differently.

Don't even get me started on conservatives and liberals...
