It's as if you are claiming conservatives own charity. That, to me, seems as much a foolish comment as any. Let me just say that you are right that most conservatives are charitable and good-hearted folks, at least the ones that I know; but do not ever forget that we liberals -- the rich, not-so-rich, and religious among us -- do just as much good, if not more, for the less fortunate. When you can tell your side to stop vilifying liberals as people who keep the poor oppressed, ignorant, and "on the plantation," then you'll have some credibilty to complain about comments that don't make conservatives look all that loving and charitable.<BR/><BR/>But let me just say that nothing in my original posting makes any claims about conservative goodness and charity. I was just commenting on the obvious disarray among the GOP and conservatives today that is clearly on display and that is being shrewdly exploited by Obama and the Democrats. I don't see how you can argue otherwise.Huckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878450464298055466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-75959539158557624622009-03-05T13:17:00.000-06:002009-03-05T13:17:00.000-06:00A couple of talking heads is hardly an "implosion"...A couple of talking heads is hardly an "implosion" of the conservative movement. Obama will do far more to re-energize the conservatives than Limbaugh will ever do. I realize that liberals do not understand conservatism, but saying that conservatives hate the poor, as Howie said, is a foolish comment. The rich and conservatives largely paid for the War on Poverty these past 45 years, and conservative religious groups from around the country have with their volunteer labor re-built the poor neighborhoods of New Orleans. Just love and charity there, folks, not hate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-76452201780277610962009-03-05T05:38:00.000-06:002009-03-05T05:38:00.000-06:00MAD - I don't "hate" Limbaugh.

I think my whole post was rather mild and I certainly don't see how I come across as foolish.

Obama and the Democrats are committed to racking up more debt in a two years than Bush did in 8, and they want to act like they are saving the economy and the country by doing so.

How is the country worse now than under the Bush and Repub leadership?<BR/><BR/>Huck,<BR/>You see conservatives in a much better light than I do. I don't see Rush as a caricature of "Republican Values." I think he's just more honest about how these values play out than most who hold those views.<BR/><BR/>Dismissing the poor as lazy, being hateful toward those who are less fortunate, and being overly self-indulgent is at the heart of conservative ideology.<BR/><BR/>As a theologian, I see it as totally opposed to the values espoused by the one who commanded persons to love their neighbors and even enemies.

Neither one represent the solution that the GOP needs. The sad thing, to me, is that the complete lack of seriousness in our government, on both sides, seems to insure that we are in store for more of the same. So far, the Democrats are running the country worse than the GOP did, much worse, and they seem committed to it, and will lose power because of it... and it will swing back to a GOP that doesn't seem to have learned any lessons. <BR/><BR/>As a lover of freedom, I don't find any of it very enjoyable at all.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314671073556804015noreply@blogger.com
