Living in Orange County, California, I hear from conservatives all day long. What they have to say is generally so filled with hypocrisy or stupidity it makes my head spin.
Hence, the following conservative "head spinners."
Capitalism is THE BEST economic system EVER devised. But it's so fragile it can't take a few regulations to enforce fairness and accountability.
The government can't do anything right with the exception of fighting unnecessary wars. Then, and only then, it's perfect.
The government can't run anything within budget, even though it has never asked for a bail-out from private industry.
Darwin's "survival of the fittest" is wrong and godless in every way except when applied to socio-economics.
No job the government makes is any good except those that involve killing your fellow man.
Government is wasteful, stupid, bloated -- but don't even THINK about touching that defense budget. That's all good spending.
The US government can kill children in far off places, and I can threaten the viability of my own children's future, all to keep my SUV gassed up.
I will keep parroting right-wing media by saying "I'm a capitalist" as a retort to Obama who, like FDR, tries to save capitalism from itself.
I see no correlation between the teachings of Jesus Christ and my political philosophy other than homosexuality and abortion, which neither was actually mentioned by Christ. But I am against mandatory healthcare for children ("Blessed are the children" my ass!)
America is only about making money, consumption and Jesus, not ingenuity, sacrifice and tolerance.
I won't lift a finger for any progressive cause but will accept any of its gains - 8-hour work day, worker safety, food regulations, civil rights, women's rights, child labor laws, etc. -- 20 years after the fight is over as a matter of course.
I hate abortion but will not give a dime of my own money to reduce it, and don't mind droppings bombs on cities filled with children and pregnant mothers in a war of choice.
Global warming is a complete hoax but those WMDs are somewhere in Syria!
I don't believe the government should help ANYONE until it personally affects me or my loved ones.
I don't believe in being tolerant of homosexuality or abortion unless it involves me, a close friend or family member.
I hate illegals but I need some this weekend to put on my roof!
San Francisco may have invented the computer revolution but OC invented the sub-prime loan!
