    Yes, even CON children know the drill…witness the few that have shown up here from time to time with their nonsensical arguments unrelated to reality. In fact, the CONS don’t even have to say anything at all any more, since we all now know the drill. We could make up their own talking points for them. The MSM does it all the time. Fiction is so much easier than fact.

    What is behind all talking points is an agenda, and a belief by the Neandercons that if Americans hear the same thing over and over enough times, it will become accepted as fact, and it’s been working so far. They don’t speak with conviction, only purpose, and we all know the purpose. They have been planning and honing this message for a couple of decades now. They are actively trying to overthrow the government of our country. We are witnessing a concerted, methodical, and pre-meditated coup d’etat bent on the installation of the U.S. as an Imperial and pre-eminent world power. We need that oil.

    Just like real life, don’t answer any question simply post a different question. It would be a miracle if they actually answered a question instead of turning around trying to make us look bad. But then, hey, even if they did answer the questions I doubt they would tell the truth or get the answer right. Heck, I’m surprised when they can spell their own names. But then, I guess they would have to be able to in order to endorse all of the checks they get.

    Well, part of it is that Republicans (the ones on the streets, not the CONS running things) get sooooooo set in their thoughts that hearing the truth or any info that doesn’t fit in their preconcieved precepts just doesn’t stick.. Remeber that "conservative friend" I mentioned a few weeks back? that was trying to get his head aroud "in general, Dems pass laws for people, Repubs pass laws for companies"?.. I had to explain to him at -least- 10 different times that I don’t like Dems either.. that I’m NOT a Democrat.. Every time we got back to pointing out all the failings of Republicans, he’d get mad and go "yeah, but you Democrats never do anything wrong, right?!?".. and I’d have to explain again.. /sigh

    It’s human nature to want to believe we’re right with what we think. Having to admit we made a mistake is one of those things most people refuse to do. When you grow up in a religious environment, coupled with always hearing how "it’s poor people’s fault their poor.. enjoy your wealth knowing you have nothing to do with poor people being poor", it’s hard to accept the -truth- that you -have- to have poor people in your society if you want to have an economic model like ours.. and it then becomes incumbant on -everyone- to contribute back to ‘society’ to make sure those on the bottom (there by necessity) aren’t suffering.

    One of the most rediculous things I’ve ever heard is a stay-at-home-housewife Republican saying "those lazy people on welfare just want a handout and don’t want to work".. it was all I could to do bite my tounge and not say "so, you like living on the back of your husband then? and in SO much better conditions than anyone on welfare..". Some people just don’t get it..

    The liberals are accused of being anti-freedom when they point out that Haliburton is being questioned about 42% of the billings in contracts some say constitute fraudulent war profiteering.

    But those doing that accusing are the State Department … hardly liberal with Condi at the helm (link here).
