Quote# 48322

In many ways, Conservative style is the antithesis of the style adopted by Liberals.

The style of a conservative often includes these characteristics:

-A willingness to debate openly on all aspects of an issue or problem, without being tramelled by ideological preconceptions.

-Readiness to take responsibility for the consequences of ones words and deeds.

-Not using fluff or obfuscating but telling it as it is.

-Behaving with decency towards other people, and treating the opposite sex with respect.

Christopher Hitchens is sexist but still fits that description better than conservapedia contributors. Chris treats stupid men with contempt but intelligent women do get respect from him. In fact that's covered in your third point.

Readiness to take responsibility for the consequences of ones words and deeds.

*brain explodes*. Oh really!?. So that whole Jesus died for my sins thing is you taking responsibility for them, how, exactly?

Don't you understand, Punch? Saying they do is enough! They don't have to actually do it, as that would be inconvenient, and gods forbid a right-winger ever be inconvenienced!

So where does making a lot of noise about seceding when an election doesn't go you way fall under this rubric?

I agree wholeheartedly with the first sentence, then it very quickly goes downhill into deluded madness.

Have you people taken responsibility for the worldwide economic free-fall that your Golden Boy Dubbya caused during his term in office?
Have you taken responsibility for the death of Savita Halappanavar who was refused a life-saving operation in Conservative Ireland?

Telling it as it is, right? So, be frank then and say that the reason you are against abortions is that you don't believe women are equal to men, that women should be punished for sex and that they have no right to decide what happens to their bodies. But you can't, can you, because that would not be "behaving with decency towards other people, and treating the opposite sex with respect", right?

That flashing light you just saw in the sky was not a UFO, folks. It was my irony meter blasting into orbit.
