Dumb stuff conservatives say.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

After a conversation I had with a conservative today I had to make this thread. Basically the thread about liberals for conservatives. I imagine there will be a ton more material.

"Al Queda, the Taliban, and Militant Islam are responsible for those deaths. They struck first on 9/11. Our retaliation is defensive."

"Trickle down economics is in the working class' best interest."

[Omsk]

"Russia will save us, Putin is a legend!"

"The church only wants the best for the people!"

"The minorities have better lives than us!"

"This is our land! We lived here since... always!"

"Communists want to destroy the property our grandfathers created!!"

"If you are a communist you are a traitor."

"Our anthem and our flag are sacred!"

"Our nationalism is good, but their nationalism is horrible!"

"Roma people are all lazy!"

I did not know that the USA had so much anti-socialist/anarchist propaganda.

Here in Portugal they say that communism has failed an will never work, and dissmiss the existance of anarchists, only refering them when a paint can is thrown through the window of a bank.

I was talking to a conservative friend today, which we debate a lot. I told him about Anarchism and he said "If you don't have a state you won't have street lights." I have a feeling I'll fill this thread due to the fact I live in a conservative state and they're know to say outrageous things.

Implying that the communists were somehow worse than the Nazis has been pretty popular here nowadays. It is pretty depressing and they usually bring up how communists killed a bunch of people for "no reason". To which I respond "Well they obviously didn't kill enough considering people like you are around." simply to upset them, because really I don't have the time nor the patience to debate with people who refuse to accept facts and historical evidence.

I of course am not being serious about this.

I recently had a conversation with a conservative where I actually ended up defending the police for fucks sake, that's how stupid he is. Recently there was a shooting in town and this guy blamed it on the police because the police dispatcher didn't send the cops out when a neighbor called them and said his dog was barking, you need to send some cops out here minutes before the shooting happened. I actually had to defend the cops because that is ridiculous, my dog barks at people walking by all the time, I'm not going to call the cops on every person that walks by. But he told me anyone walking outside at night in that neighborhood should get the cops called on them. Probably has nothing to do with the fact that most people in that neighborhood are Latino/poor...

I was watching bill maher and he showed the weekly dispatches from the bubble and it was Herman Cain on Sean Hannity's show. Here's what they actually said:

Herman Cain: But if you look at everything that this President has done, his actions have all been in favor of big government, more regulations, anti-business and he basically does not believe in the capitalistic system that we have. Everything he has done, so as a result, he is not even going to bend the least for political expediency because he is determined to destroy our capitalistic system.

Sean Hannity: See, I might disagree, I think he(Obama) has been so indoctrinated into left-wing socialism, he doesn't know any other way. Because that's been every influence around him.
