If "conservatives" are so awesome then why must they lie and cheat?

Willie Horton. WMD in Iraq. "Supply-side economics." Birtherism. Benghazi. Email. Welfare queen. 20 lies a day...Clintons murder 35 people. Iran-Contra. Nixon interfering in Vietnam peace talks. Watergate. Reagan interfering in hostage negotiations. ...

1. Lying to remove opponents and make a buck...

is a virtue. That means being an individual, competing and winning, gain the thing that they see as success, wealth.

If they have to be hypocrites so be it.

[Cary]

2. Being hypocrites is what they are

Do they have a choice?

[Thomas Hurt]

3. I doubt it matters to them. ends justifies the means.

amoral about their own behavior, moral scolds to others.

[Cary]

4. For.the few, yes

For the vast majority of them there is no actual end.

5. Good question, Cary.

The ones I know are still clinging to the "liberal conspiracy" mantra. They seem to actually believe we made all this up.

7. Truth

Literally. The "conservatives" whom I know are mostly the ones who dropped out and then proceeded to hang out.in the front.of.our school.

Today they tell me that education isn't good and that they have been so successful without it.

Never mind that I have represented in bankruptcies, IRS problems, foreclosures and business failures.

8. Because they drink their own Kool Aid

1) They are righteous patriots and christians, salt of the earth people who rely on no one other than themselves
2) There is an evil liberal boogyman

DECADES of stoking their pride and biases and prejudices leads them to think that anything is justified in the epic war against the liberal.
