In reply to the discussion: NC Legislators Propose Banning Prediction of Sea Rise [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)26. It has everything to do with this ban. Another writer said:
The single largest defect of modern conservatism is that it has ruined the nation. Conservatives do not have ideas; they have interests.
Conservatives are not thinkers; they are rationalizers who give an intellectual gloss to their belief that an alliance of predatory businesspeople and religious extremists should rule the rest of us.
The wreckage caused by modern conservatism lies all around us, and speaks for itself: If conservatism isnt dead, it should be.

I submit that every bill they author and pass into law is intended to profit them or their friends financially and inflict poverty on the rest of us, no matter what rhetoric they use to disguise it. Our poverty is also their gain, which some Democrats refuse to admit is a policy of the GOP. I admit that my assessment of their actions is harsh and may not be seen as fair, but would be going the false equivalency route if I was more generous. I don't know any Democrat who would do the things they do unless hoodwinked into the idea that it might save someone's life.
