I just read a conversation between a conservative man and a liberal woman.  It was quite polite.  Which I must admit surprised me. How I admire the attempt of this very conservative man to explain the reality of our nations situation to a liberal.  

I have to wonder tho...who actually believes you can explain the truth to someone who seems to have no real sense of the issues we face in this country? 

Many of my liberal friends do not recognize a 16 trillion dollar debt as a problem. They believe the outright lies and half truths perpetuated by this administration. 

I wanted to butt in to the conversation and ask one question. "My dear man, do you really believe anything you say, even the truth backed by data and facts, will change their minds?"  I know nothing a liberal says will change my mind to come close to believing what they espouse. 

The liberals I know personally absolutely do not believe the current President is divisive.  They see what he wants to do as "the right thing for the poor of this country."  And they do not see him insisting on perpetuating failed policies for another four years as anything but what needs to get done to improve their way of life. 

They do not see the cover ups and the "pay offs to green industries" as anything but a FOX News 'made up' story.  They cannot see the some if not all Unions are now obsolete.  Nor do they see the damage some of these Unions, such as the teachers unions are doing to our economy by holding our public schools up for ransom every time some crappy teacher gets called on the carpet. They act to improve their lot in life at the expense of our children. 
And salary increases, by the way, that many do not deserve based on their job current job performance. These job busting unions are gleefully cheered on by this president to secure their votes. 

My liberal acquaintances do not believe he wants to redistribute the wealth of this nation, even tho he is actively preaching how bad, greedy and horrible the successful and rich of this are as people. Even tho the proof is all over the media for them all to see.  They see this governmental theft as a justified act.  Too bad they won't see a dime of the money Presidebt Oblahblah will steal from the rich should he be reelected. ( I'm sure he will give it to the industries that are supporting him in the upcoming election.)

The liberals I speak with about politics, see us conservatives as all and more of the following; 
"We are considered to be evil, bigoted, lowering the taxes on only the rich, hate filled, war mongering,  repealers of all regulations put in place for safety, we want all women to die of botched, illegal abortions on the steps of a hospital that doesn't exist,  we don't care whether the poor live well and own homes they cannot afford, we are the rapers and pillagers of our natural resources, making all and sundry breathe the polluted air and drink the polluted water, God loving, gun toting, backwards, ignorant Bible reading, may all you poor, defenseless down trodden, living on welfare starve to death" kinds of people.

Of course these are just some of the biggest myths about us conservatives, aren't they? The reality of who we are is so different from the perceptions and the lies perpetuated by the Oblahblah loving media. 

We just want to keep as much of what we earn as possible.  As Dennis Miller said some time ago, "I don't mind helping the helpless. I don't want to help the clueless."  We don't want to be forced to help those who refuse to help themselves.  We believe charity should be a choice., and not forced on us by a Federal government that cannot even balance the nations checkbook. 


As for my conservative perspective of liberals?  I believe they are misinformed, and sadly, just plain misguided.
