Just a bunch of tired liberl cliches:
1. Since when did we democracy end in America?
2. Do you care to explain how liberals love of progressive income taxation and government regulation coincides with the concept of liberty?
3. If you are on Osama Bin Laden's Rolodex, yes we want to tap your phone. Otherwise, conservatives want to leave you liberals alone.
4. Some people are better than others because they harder and live to high moral standards. Do you believe that someone who has become a successful teacher, engineer, doctor, or nurse is better than a shiftless deadbeat? I certainly do.
5. We don't love lobbyist. Lobbyist love big government. Liberals love big government. See the connection.
6. We don't want to oppress the powerless. The only entity that has the means to (legally) oppress anyone is government. You liberals oppress everyone with your high taxes and regulation.
7. Yes, somethings do require secrecy. CIA and NSA data were secrets way before Bush became president. It's not proper to publish all classified data from the CIA and NSA in the NY Times.
8. Nature's glory? You are treating nature as though it is a god. You may have us there. We believe that the earth's resources should be used to better our quality of life. I suppose you liberals would rather for man to live as he did in 10,000 BC because it would return nature to her former glory.
9. We love profits, period. Profits keep people employed. See comment #8 for my environmental position.
10. If "fend for yourself" means "personal responsibility", yes that is our position.
11. Conservatives don't have to destroy public education. Liberals have beat us to it. Do you care to explain why people have been complaining about the quality of public education for years and yet the quality still continues to deteriorate? My sister had to pull my niece and nephew out of public education and send them to private school because it was so bad.
12. The last time I check, the US President is and has always been a civilian. This was true before GWB came to office and will still be true when he leaves.
