ORIGINAL: bounty44 lets see, whats the better explanation? conservatives are greedy, racist, evil, homophobic, selfish, xenophobic, sexist, misogynistic, haters of the poor, the elderly, bigoted, islamophobic, fascist, yada yada yada ad nauseum? or that conservatives actually do care but do so in a way that you %(#&%^ liberals in your pompous ass elite self-righteousness just don't agree with or even recognize? my vote is the latter. You didn't even read the full title of the article. He's not saying conservatives don't care about anything, just that they don't care about their own hypocrisy. You aren't going to say that you care about your own hypocrisy, you're either going to say it doesn't exist or that liberals are worse. You are unwilling to confront the possibility that you could be a hypocrite. "caring" or "caring about anything" or "caring about hypocrisy", its all of a kind. my answer remains the same and it works no matter which phrase you attach it to. as for me personally, and what I presume in most instances for others of my disposition, is that they strive for consistency when it comes to their ethical mores. this little exchange is a good example in microcosm concerning my pompous ass statement. you think you know how I operate and rather than assume what I just said above, im "unwilling to confront my hypocrisy." to be a little more clear, when conservatives seemingly fail to act according to how liberals understand they should, the problem, according to liberals, is there is something wrong with the conservatives. the notion that they themselves are getting it wrong seems to not occur to them. the end result is that conservatives are therefore ________(insert whatever derogatory moniker works for the instance in question) oh and hey musicmystery, get the point now? Yes. You've constructed another straw man. That's your standard reply when you have no argument anymore I doubt you know what the term "straw man" even means, or how it applies
