"...but I can hold up plenty of idiot liberals as examples of why everyone should be a conservative. You would definitely be on the list", in re of this comment I previously asked you to list those ideas and opinons I hold which would cause anyone to become a conservative. If you make a blanket statement Windbag it would be honorable to offer evidence of the truth of your assertion. Please do so.
If you did I missed that post. The one single idea you have that proves to me that I do not want to be a liberal is your idea that everyone who is a conservative is an idiot. I prefer to believe that everyone, even you, has enough intelligence and honesty to see that the world the way it really is.
The 'conservatives' I have called idiots are ill informed willfully ignorant and never post anything which suggests they are bright. So, idiot works when they piss me off.
You never noticed the ' ' marks? Many times I characterize them as faux conservatives or use the single quotes to characterize those who identify themselves as conservatives. For the most part they are parrots and echo the same unproven axioms held as immutable truth by the new right.
You are calling Grover Norquist an idiot. If you applied your standards consistently you would not do so, because he is pro gay marriage, and has said many things in defense of it. That means you are calling him an idiot simply because you disagree with him about his tax policies and smaller government.
That makes you, by your actions, a partisan hack.
I, on the other hand, find his position that cancelling a subsidy is a tax increase so idiotic that I think he should stop talking about tax policy. That does not mean he should stop talking about gay rights. Nor does it make him an idiot across the board.
So, if you are actually honest, you will admit that Norquist is not an idiot, you just disagree with him about one thing. While you are thinking about that, I will point out that, if we did drown the government in a bathtub, it wouldn't be around to tell people that they could not marry whoever they wanted.
