"Victim or Oppressed" = "Criminal or Lazy good-for-nothing" - How true. Not in all cases, but more than we know, and definitely more than the left will admit. I'll emphasize the 'lazy' part. Did you know a family of four, living in Milwaukee, exactly at the poverty line, has a gross income of over $61,000 after all the free stuff is added up? They earn just over $22,000. Yeah, you do the math. Almost $40,000 in free benefits. Every year. And the left believes this isn't a "lifestyle".

- Conservatives automatically think "Coerced Theft" when someone says "Taxes" ('cause thats what all taxes really are)?
- Conservatives automatically think "Socialism/Communism" when someone says "Equal Access to Opportunity" ('cause thats what the Bill of Rights amounts to)?
- Conservatives automatically think "Illegal Alien" when someone says "New American" (someone who just earned their citizenship) or "Unregistered Voter" ('cause they probably wont vote like me)?
- Conservatives automatically think "High Crime Area" when someone says "Multicultural Community" ('cause there are no stable multicultural communities)?
- Conservatives automatically think "Horse Hockey" when someone states an accepted fact ('cause there aint NOWAY Im changing my worldviwew)?
Back in the day, there used to be a difference between Conservatives and Reactionaries. Wha' happened???

conservatives who think that what they are saying is an d consider themselves
"righteous".
yert49 - Jan 11, 2012 12:29 PM
And good ole McGarber wants to politicize it. The Left...Imagine that!
Carl Hicks - Jan 11, 2012 1:10 PM
conservative and liberal?
MGarber - Jan 11, 2012 1:12 PM
Lets see what I said: " It pokes at both sides...". Hmmm; imagine that.
"...Eugene McCain .... Instead he goes thru 25 paragraphs..."
Uhhhhhh... are you lookin at something that the rest of us dont see?
"And good ole McGarber wants to politicize it. "
Lets see what the 1st line of the original chart says " Liberal | Conservative". Hmmm; imagine that.

I can take my share of name calling, but THATs crossing the line, mister.

If you buried them in your yard it's an arsenal, if displayed a collection.
If you enjoy nature it's a delicate wetlands, if you want to develop it it is useless
swamp land.

Rape foreplay
MGarber - Jan 11, 2012 3:14 PM
I also know of some dangerous all white neighborhoods (yes I do).
Whats your point?
Carl Hicks - Jan 11, 2012 3:19 PM
where conservatives water bigger government.
yert49 - Jan 11, 2012 3:49 PM
Carl are you kidding us? Tell us what progress and change have come about from the left? From coast to coast the left has fostered dependancy on government. The left in this country has not offered up a federal budget in two years. And we're left with Harry Reid not allowing any legislation to progress because the man with the tear-away ears wants to run against a "do-nothing" Congress. A blind man can see that. Or should a say a "vision deprived human".

It's kind of fun to come up with these. One of my personal favorites is the liberal use of the term: pro-choice. For the conservative, this means: pro-abortion. That's exactly what it is, yet in the attempts to tone-down things to make them more "user friendly" the left tries to create smoke screens to hide behind. And don't forget, liberals now like to be called "progressives" cuz the "liberal" word is a turn-off for many. "Progressive" still means liberal, but sounds a wee bit better.
Don't foget one biggie:
Liberal: "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act"
Conservative: Obamacare or more honestly: Socialized Medicine
Carl Hicks - Jan 11, 2012 3:58 PM
any.
Just like how conservatives want smaller government as Republicans continue to
grow it's size.
hehe bet you read "want " when I said "water ".

Sound like all of the American Revolution was made up of Liberals then. ( It was actually, they booted the conservatives (United Empire Loyalists) out.
Thanks for pointing that out.
