Many (conservatives) are angry with your truthful question, but as I see it, the narrow-minded cannot admit truth even when they see it right before their eyes. Denial is a powerful tool for the weak. They see ignorance as bliss, they follow their leader like lemmings, and sheep. When the truth finally smacks them down, they can have the excuse that temporary insanity kept them from seeing it coming.

Answer 4

now... here's an interesting question...

does lucky2's comments hold more true for liberals or does Remy D's hold more true for conservatives...

it seems to me that I don't know any liberals that believe half the stuff on lucky2's list (I'm sure there are some, but I don't know any)... but I do know several conservatives that believe over half of what Remy D's list said..

granted, I live in the south, so perhaps my views are skewed by a larger number of conservatives to choose from...

I've heard many Republicans in congress discuss many of the issues in Remy D's post... but I've only heard a few democrats talk about the issues in lucky2's post...

Answer 5

For those too lazy to read the above, it comes down to one word: hypocricy

Republicans and Democrats are guilty of many of the same evils, but it's the Republicans who act high and mighty about it.

In short, with Republicans, it is always the SIN, plus HYPOCRICY

that's the difference.

BTW, loved the question/statement
