there are very few conservatives who bother posting on here any more.

A lot of the posters here are moderate conservatives. You know the ones who would have voted republican 30 or 40 years ago (when the GOP actually stood for traditional conservative ideals) and acknowledge the fact that Regan was more liberal than Obama is.

It is just that you have allowed the Mormon news media and Rupert Murdoch's news corp. to convince you that to be a true conservative one must:

-believe the absurd lies of the Mormon/NewsCorp propaganda machine;

-hate (or at least dehumanize and marginalize) their countrymen who are non-"conservatives";

-prefer the destruction of America to allowing a non-approved candidate do anything that might put a win in their column (even when it was idea first put forward by the Mormon/NewsCorp cabal);

-and of course put the preservation of the aristocracy's position above all else, even if it requires destroying the "American Dream" in the process and plunging the "land of the free and the home of the brave" into a hellish police state where the majority of the population lives a 3rd world impoverished existance.

some people want to take money from the person who earned it and hand it over to the person they deem worthy, some don't.

Are you suggesting that red states stop taking money from the blue states.

Oh, that's right, conservatives are hypocrites.

bob, ofcourse I agree. ENforcement should be an automatic thing, not a political football.

leo,
you're wrong. But, every once in a while you are REALLY wrong - like now. There is no such thing as "moderate conservative". That's a liberal pipe-dream.

evilmonkey,
I do not agree with wealth transfers.
Oh, that's right, leftist / progressive / socialist / communist / muslamic / obamanite liberals are hypocrites.

Mormon news media?

Are you talking about those "...and I'm a Mormon" commercials?

I think it's because deep down, behind all the righteous indignation you guys KNOW that these policies are actually worthless, based on personal greed, that they sound nice on a personal level but have no place in a broader society, and are disasterous, as has been shown again by CO Springs.

Your living in a dreamland, cities have run out of money

Mayor cuts city workers’ pay to $7.25 per hour

http://www.sooeveningnews.com/newsnow/x1990296591/Mayor-cuts-city-workers-pay-to-7-25-per-hour

A fiscal and political crisis in the nearly-broke northeastern Pennsylvania city of Scranton deepened Tuesday as public employee unions sought to have the mayor held in contempt of court after he defied a judge and slashed workers’ pay to minimum wage.

Unions representing firefighters, police and public-works employees also filed a pair of federal lawsuits against Mayor Chris Doherty and the city that alleged violations of labor law and due-process rights.

Doherty last week ignored a court order and cut the pay of about 400 city workers to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. The Democratic mayor said it was all the cash-strapped city of more than 76,000 could afford, promising to restore full pay once finances are stabilized.

“It’s incredible,” the unions’ attorney, Thomas Jennings, said Tuesday. “I’ve never had a public official just say, ‘I’m not going to obey a court order. I’m not even going to try. He can’t tell me what to do.’”

Doherty is locked in a dispute with Scranton’s city council over a financial recovery plan as it faces a $16.8 million budget deficit. The mayor didn’t return a phone message from The Associated Press on Tuesday, but he told the Times-Tribune of Scranton on Monday that his administration and the council remained at stalemate over the $85 million budget.

“If I had the money, I’d pay them,” Doherty said of city workers.

Oh, that's right, conservatives are hypocrites.

There are no "red states" or "blue states", just "red counties" (rural), "purple counties" (suburban), and "blue counties" (urban). The "blue states" just have more cities than the "red states."

Obviously rural areas are going to see a huge ratio of road spending relative to taxpayers. But natural resources have to get to the cities somehow. We could go back to private railroad companies having a stranglehold on transport if you'd like.

If you're trying to refute far-right complaints about "welfare queens" use data on social spending specifically.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that there ARE a lot of rural "deadbeats," but just looking at raw federal spending doesn't prove much. And how many of those rural deadbeats actually vote? It could be that rural conservatives don't like their rural deadbeat neighbors anymore than they like the deadbeats living in the cities.

Mormon news media?

The Blaze.

It is Glen Becks' "news" outlet that Bap subscribes to.

Ah ok. I knew Glenn Beck was Mormon, but I did not know he had his own propaganda...er...news outlet.

Bap33 says

There is no such thing as "moderate conservative".

Thanks Bap I forgot that one for the list.

-No true scots... *er* ... conservative would hold any political position that would be considered "moderate" by the Mormon/NewsCorp propaganda machine.

Bap33 went on my "ignore extremist noise" list a long time ago.

wthrfrk80 says

Yes, Bap was on here not too long ago touting Becks' virtues and talking about how great The Blaze is and trying to get others to get subscriptions to GBTV.

leo,
you know you fibbed. but, you also know that nobody cares. it's all good.

just go re-read the post you are talking about. so libtastic of you. lol

Hey Bap,

This does not ring a bell?

Bap33 says

you may wanna subscribe to GBTV and ready yourself to find anything false in what Beck is trying to get people to hear. Beck is 100% right. You are a very smart person, go read The Blaze or spend a few bucks and get GBTV. If there is something not correct I would trust you to share it.

Was I misreading something there? It read to me like you were touting virtues and trying to get people to subscribe.

Glenn Beck is a nutjob. Rush Limbaugh is pretty normal by comparison. Rush might be a dick, but at least he's generally not crazy.

Republicans can't back up their arguments.

And yet, they want to keep their services and cut yours.

They are selfish, dishonest and most are incapable of honest argument.
They'll usually bring up a different topic .

Now, there are many republican women out there ready and willing to throw the younger women on the bonfire of conservatism. Touting their greed of lower taxes with no choice. No birth control.

Greed, selfishness and dishonesty. I think that covers it.

Are there any politicians trying to make birth control illegal? That sounds like a far-left talking point.

As far as I know, explicitly outlawing birth control is a fringe position. However, the line between birth control and abortion isn't so clear if you believe that personhood starts the nanosecond the sperm and ovum make contact. Some anti-abortion legislation probably would effectively outlaw some forms of [what most people would call] birth control:

leo, it was free to get the story detail that was part of that discussion at that time and Beck had opened up the pay-for site so everyone could get the info ... all of this you know, as I shared it, and you admitted to not even reading anything on the news site Beck runs. Yet, you know it's all bad poopoo. I think that is how a silly lib would behave.

At any rate, Beck's news outlet is a good source, until you show me otherwise. Meanwhile, have you seen the pics of Trevon at 17 years old? lmao. You guys were duped.

So, I guess Zimmerman's using the donations for his defense to pay of old credit card debt and clearly trying to manipulate the court through lies still has not shaken your faith in him, eh?

Um, I am not quite sure what you are saying here. Are you claiming that you did not suggest that others get a subscription to GBTV?

Yes, you did mention something about a free trial to his site, but you did say this about GBTV.

Bap33 says

Bap33 says

spend a few bucks and get GBTV

Bap33 says

his pay-site, GBTV has stuff he said.

Given your difficulty with remembering what you have said in the past I understand that you would not remember that I did in-fact post that I had read the Blaze.

#2) I figured a time frame that was not under the Fox News situation, that is the only reason I placed a time on the suggestion.

Has is message changed after leaving FOX? From what I have read on theBlaze it does not seem to have changed. Why would you think that his rampant dishonest claims would have changed? Did he suddenly come up with honest well reasoned arguments to support his outrageous claims? Some how I doubt it and quite frankly it is not worth my time to sift through all his garbage and do the research on his claims.

Bap33 says

At any rate, Beck's news outlet is a good source, until you show me otherwise.

Well, you are free to absorb propaganda from someone who adheres to scripture that calls you a corrupt abomination. Don't worry I am sure that does not affect the content of Beck's message at all.

As you probably don't remember from the previous thread, you failed to convince anyone that Beck had suddenly turned over a new leaf and left all his deception and lies back at Fox. No one including myself thought it was worthwhile to fact check his new mormon propaganda outlet. Yes, some people might be fooled by a con-man who changes hats and puts on a fake mustache, but to most he is still a liar and a scumbag.

what is it you say Beck is wrong about again?
what story does The Blaze have wrong?

he should not be in court, he broke no law. Spike Lee should be in court for attempted murder, terrorist threats, ect ect.

p.s., it is true, I did not recall that you claimed to read something in the past. My error.

leo,
rabid liberals do not like Beck. I heard ya the first time.

But Scranton is where Dunder Mifflin is, right?

Hi Bap!
