The Cheshire Cat posted:There's nothing wrong with actual conservatives. The ones people hate are the bigoted "GOD HATES FAGS MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS YOU'RE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US" nutjobs that use conservatism to justify their hatreds. The word's been pretty corrupted over the years. What is labeled 'conservatism' is actually 'authoritarianism'. Case in point - if U.S. Republicans were truly conservative, why are they completely unwilling to reduce defense spending? edit: Also, poo poo like Bahrain serves to show how hosed up U.S. news reporting is. Everyone, I mean everyone else in the world is focusing on Bahrain etc., whereas in the US every single news agency is relegating it to minor stories. And in many cases, with very outdated information: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bahrain-protesters-call-ouster-monarchy-egypt-hold-victory/story?id=12946668 quote:Soldiers reportedly fired weapons and tear gas canisters into the air this morning Yeah, I don't think "headshotting protestors" counts as "firing into the air".
