Here are some other logic nuggets that will have absolutely zero effect on the true believers:

—If Christians value the lessons of Jesus so much, why won’t they heed his lessons when it comes to immigrants and the poor?

—If pro-lifers think the life of the fetus is so valuable, why do they have total disdain for those who suffer once they’re actually born?

—If conservative politicians value our service members so much, why are they the first to send them into harm’s way for unnecessary wars?

—If conservatives hate terrorists so much, why do they constantly engage in rhetoric and policy that seems specifically tailored to encourage the rise of anti-Americanism across the globe?

—If Trump supporters cared so much about draining the swamp, why aren’t they going nuts about how his entire cabinet is made up of swamp creatures?

—If Trump supporters cared so much about transparency, why aren’t they going nuts about his tax returns? Or his business conflicts? Or Russia?

Partisan Hack

Someone who cares more about supporting a particular party or ideology than supporting what is morally right, or factually true.

I don't think many elements of the Republican Party are conservative, but we're stuck with the term. I'd prefer fox new idiots or Mnot might have a better designation.

Anyway, this article hits the spot in spades and it offers a super-structure of most CMMB political discussions.

Do you EVER think things that aren't straw man nonsense?

Why not join a few real discussions, try your hand at it.

lets see, whats the better explanation?

conservatives are greedy, racist, evil, homophobic, selfish, xenophobic, sexist, misogynistic, haters of the poor, the elderly, bigoted, islamophobic, fascist, yada yada yada ad nauseum?

or that conservatives actually do care but do so in a way that you %(#&%^&# liberals in your pompous ass elite self-righteousness just don't agree with or even recognize?

my vote is the latter.

Of course they don't care..... That's why a recession happens every time they impose a tax cut policy. Shit hits the fan when they deregulate industries. Workers take in the ass when labor protections go unenforced because cons want "government out of the way of business."

We will be back to the 50's on so many topics its stupid.  Butt of course, it works for cons because it leaves the rest of America fighting amongst themselves  to crawl out from under the cons bullshit.

hypocrisy is just the tip of the iceberg. 

So no, the cons don't care....

Well thanks for your input, but the post you're replying to is this one:

I especially liked the advice at the end:

The right way is simple. Go to the people you need to convince—the ones who aren’t willing to resort to any dirty trick—and say “look, these people are liars. Everything they say, and everything they do, is a lie.” Ignore the liars themselves; you’ll have better luck getting blood from a stone. Go to the people who retain a shred of humanity, make your case, and pray that there are enough of them left to tilt the balance.

Anytime anybody makes a claim like that, you know you're dealing with a flaming asshole.

So-called "cons" are not all the same, and I've made the same point about so-called "libs".

Sorry you don't get it.
