(27,670 posts)Conservatism has all but destroyed our country and democracy. Reagan and Bush were violent, evil monsters; austerity is causing human suffering worldwide.
Being conservative is stupid, and is totally not cool.
Shout it from the rooftops, acknowledge the obvious truth: Conservatism is anti-life. It is a destructive and inhuman philosophy of action and being.
We must stop coddling conservatives, stop pretending that their ideas have any constructive value. It has been proven over and over that conservatism is a destructive force in every area of human and planetary existence.
Limbaugh and his ilk were successful at brainwashing naive people into believing that conservative is good and liberal is bad by repeatedly pounding that message into people's heads day after day, month after month, year after year.
Liberal became a four letter word because of deliberate, sustained RW corporatist propaganda, and even some on the left bought into the lies
This is generally apparent; quite obvious even here at DU.
Now we are faced with having to undo the brainwashing Limbaugh and his fascist ilk have instilled into the national collective consciousness. It's time for kindness, reason, equality, justice, and sanity to reign.
Corporatism = Conservatism
Sing it with me:
♫ Conservatives, and conservatism, are really bad for children, kittens, all life, and our lovely home, this planet earth. ♫
Really, really bad.
This is what conservativism does to children
