The Left Loves Diversity — Except When It Comes to Political Views
The Right has its own problems with diversity of political views. The “big tent” of the Republican party envisioned by the late party chairman, Lee Atwater, continues to shrink thanks to those who think that anyone they can label as a “RINO” should be purged.
#1 Blackwater: “we need to demonize the left, belittle them, mock them, insult them…..” Gee, guess you haven’t been listening lately to Rush, Ann Coulter, Hannity, etc.
“We need to be extremely loyal to fellow conservatives and help them advance their beliefs in every way possible.” Sorry man; it ain’t that easy or simple. Do you really want the self-proclaimed “conservatives” of the religious right dictating their beliefs & imposing their ideology on you? If not, better pay a visit to the web site of Americans United for Separation of Church & State (headed up by an ordained minister).
What about defense and the Pentagon? I’m all in favor of a strong defense. But I don’t see a need to subsidize defense contractors in the amount of $300 billion in cost overruns (source: GAO study from earlier this year). How is that form of wasteful, “tea party,” spending considered as being “conservative?”
