MATHEW'S TOP TEN REASONS WHY CONSERVATISM (And conservatives in general) FAIL: These are a few examples, there are simply wayyyy too many to list--due to space limitations)... 1. Weapons (supposedly) in Iraq. Weapons in North Korea. Crazy dictator in Iraq. Crazy dictator in North Korea. Dictator in Iraq has done interviews with News Anchors in Iraq. Dictator in North Korea threatens the US and begins testing Nuclear Missles. Conservatives are good on going after Iraq, but are for "diplomacy" with North Korea No weapons found in Iraq. More water reacators (nuclear facilities) being built in North Korea (ummm .. for WHAT purpose? Peace Talks??) Conservatives view terrorism a threat, but North Korea amassing the largest amount of nukes known to mankind is 'okay'... We invade Iraq because it's a threat to the US. Um, Where's the logic here??!?!?!?! 2. Democrats support Afghanistan invasion. Democrats are against Iraq invasion. Conservatives say Democrats are "pacifists" and are "unpatriotic" Where's the logic here? 3. Conservatives are against abortion, but for capital punishment. Conservativs think it's wrong to kill a human, but then they say it's okay to kill a human. ??? Where's the logic THERE? 4. Generally speaking... Conservatives are against what they call "Big Government" Conservatives are for telling women what to do with their bodies, spying on US citizen's homes without a warrant or notice, ammending the constitution on any issue they deem necessary (lately, it was gay marriage.) So, were conservatives AGAINST big government before they were FOR it? Or what? Who's a flip flopper again? 5. Generally speaking... Bush, a self defined "conservative" stated in the 2000 Debates he was against nation building (check the transcript/I also have a DVD of it). Bush now states he believes in building Iraq. Oh wait... Republicans who support Bush on those decisions were against Bill Clinton for freeing people in Bosnia against Ethnic Cleansing. So are we against a political party? Or are we against nation building? Once again. There is simply no consistent logic to conservative views. 6. Generally speaking... Conservatives feel that Gay rights defenders cannot tell the churches to alter their views and include gay marriage--it's against the church's rights. Yet, conservatives are okay with churches stepping in and having their say and trying to stop civil rights of gay people wishing to marry. Are they for individual rights or against them? Or are they more for individual rights for only non-gays? Once again, conservatism fails the logic test. 7. Rush Limbaugh, the maha Rushi himself, publically stated that Bill Clinton is a sex addict. He also claimed that anyone with an addiction should step down not only permanently from their job, but from public life in general. Rush Limbaugh admits (flash forward) to being addicted to Oxy Coton. Does he abide by his own advice? Nope. So what is he now? An OXY MORON? Yep. Practice what you preach. Inconsistency and more lack of logic is yeilded from this conservative freak. 8. Conservatives cried out that lying to America is immoral, and Bill Clinton lied, so he should be impeached and lose his job. I guess though if you are Newt Gingrich and you steal thousands upon thousands of dollars from the same American people THAT"S OKAY! One man does something wrong, it doesn't affect me. Another man steals my tax dollars--but he's okay. ?!? Should I also mention Henry Hyde, and the other "dirty dozen" that wanted to "hang" Clinton? How about that Republican Conservative from Idaho with the illegit kid from an affair? I guess that's okay too, according to conservatives. No one tried to get her fired...I guess it's okay if you are only a governor--and of course, a Republican. 9. Sean Hannity, and his conservative radio show. People call in and constantly claim "You're a GREAT AMERICAN Sean!" to him. He also touts books with "americana" thematic titles.. "Deliver us from Evil" etc...complete with photos of flags behind him. Sean Hannity has never served in the US Services. Yet other people who HAVE he has criticized because they didn't agree with everything President Bush has done. So who is a great American again? 10. Joe Scarborough. He has served in Washington (check his stats, they are less than that of many others in Washington). He currently has a show called "scarborough country" on MSNBC. He has a little section of his show called "the real deal" Well, I would suggest if you want to come off as "real" you start by using your REAL first name--because it's NOT Joe! I believe it's Stephen, (or spelled Steven). Consequently, "Joe" does look like Macho Camacho TV Reporter when he's filmed in hurricane storms, but keep in mind, when he criticizes those that served and don't agree with Bush, he himself has also NOT served in the military.
