(21,925 posts)Yours was a blanket statement. You stated that no conservatives are the enemy. We live in an America now where most conservatives are bigots, gun-happy crazies, sociopaths who would will death on the poor and uninsured, religious whackos, haters of the government and of taxes, and anti-science nuts. Look at the conservatives running for office across this country, for national office or local. Who is voting for these nuts? If you're thinking about Eisenhower conservatives you are mistaken. They were liberals. They voted for the civil rights acts. The Republican party used to have many liberals, just as the Democratic Party had many conservatives. And yes, the nuts who worship the rich are willfully ignorant. They live in the most advanced country on earth and refuse to open their eyes. Their own lack of character is the problem They are personally responsible for the fact that students are struggling to pay for higher and higher eduction costs. They are personally responsible for the millions of uninsured. They are responsible for the fact that no one in the Republican party wants to raise taxes. They bear the personal responsibility for this. They don't get a free pass. All it takes to turn things around in this country is for the selfish, the closed-minded, the low moral character conservatives to open their eyes to the truth. Only they can do it. They are adults. They have brains. They have the ability to choose. They choose to support the 1%.
