Reply #14: I think the FR is a small group

I don’t believe their hateful views represent many Conservatives.

My family is basically all Conservative as are most of my friends. I had a fantasy football draft party where the most politically right of the bunch and I ran around town picking up snacks for the party.

Well, he went in on me and as I was rebutting him he was agreeing with everything I was saying. EVERYTHING. He is also very religious and I tossed the hateful intolerance, revenge, blood lust, death, war and carnage back at him…asking him really…what would Jesus be doing?

I mentioned how large corporation’s control our government and the specter of beauty of our natural environment is being sold out on an altar of corporate greed, consumerism, and efficiency.

I talked about the sacrifice of the American labor market and our small, family farms who don’t merely represent a wheel in America’s economic machine, but the very fabric of our culture…and I wasn’t prepared to sacrifice them for a fucking 75 cents cut on my motorized tie racks.

I gave him my spiel and he could do nothing but mutter in agreement.

At the end of the day however, all that didn’t matter, because Democrats were the party of “big government”, “leftist”, “tax and spend Liberals”…The man was completely void of any intellectual analysis of pragmatic reactions to the ills that affect our world. In short, he had become enslaved to his ideology and that is where his religion begins and ends. He is not an anomaly on the right.
