    Conservatives learn from the school of hard knocks and consequences, become self-reliant and indepencent. Liberals learn from mommy and daddy defending them, bailing them out for their screwups, and learn depencency and develop an entitlement attitude.

    “Vitriol and negative language”, “spin an issue and present a progressive viewpoint”, yes indeed congress seems to have been listening to the majority minority in America .That majority minority would be none other than George Soros, the power of “money”.
    Coming soon, sites like the Blaze shall be relegated to the far backwaters of the web. One will have to use a six hundred proxy server jump to safely pose any dissenting opinions. No fear though, for those to meek to speak truth, a complete list of what you “think” will be listed for you at http://www.Sorossays.com or at http://www.Fedspeak.gov ( fake web address’s click at your own risk !).
    Any person foolish enough to get caught speaking the truth shall be publicly caned.

      Interesting fantasy the progressives have. On one side you have three self-made men (Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck) who are influential to the conservative cause in this country because they speak of facts instead of maxist lies.
      On the other hand, you have an organization controlled by a socialist/marxist (who makes his money off of the capitalist system by destroying countries) that is trying to duplicate the process by BRAINWASHING IT’S FOLLOWERS into becoming radio/tv propagandists. There can be only one logical response to such idiocy….Media Matters:

      @AllAmericanG

      Fair enough–we all use some kind of ‘packaging’ to sell our product, so to speak.

      Realistically, though, when it comes to liberals, they actually believe the shi’ite they spew. And they change the rules to their need of the moment, they constantly move the goalposts.

      Liberals have actually, and truly believe:

      1. Conservatives want to kick grandma down the stairs
      2. Pollute the planet so much our own grandchildren will die
      3. Starve senior citizens to death
      4. Starve children to death
      5. Kill women by disallowing abortion
      6. Kill babies by disallowing abortion

      So on, and so on. Hell, I’ve been accused by liberals of being in the pocket of Koch Brothers, when I don’t even know who they are.

      I am not rich, and never will be. Yet, according to the Left, the only possible reason I‘m Conservative is because I’m either wealthy or in the pocket of some rich racist overseer who oppresses the sweating struggling masses.

      I used to be very liberal. Then I grew up.

      This joker, the one on camera, has no clue about anything. He believes his own drivel, thinking that Cons have training camps. He truly believes that Cons are groomed, manufactured, and that the Left has to do the same thing.

      Is that insane or what?

      I don’t know about you, Patriot, but I’m bored to tears with liberals. I don’t know anymore whether to laugh, or cry, or just shoot them and be done with the whole matter.

      ____________________

      They have plenty, which this joker knows. Just look at the all-white MSNBC lineup.

      What kills liberals is, despite all their pundits out there, only about 22% of Americans claim to be liberal. The rest are more centrist, leaning right-of-center for the most part. Again, despite all the pundits, the Left constantly whines that their message isn’t getting out, that they either weren‘t ’clear enough’ or that all of us are just too stupid to understand their loftier intentions.

      To liberals, the only reason they’re not more influential is strictly because Conservatives are either stupid, or have training camps, or have better advertising. It could never possibly be that liberalism is an epic failure, going all the way back to Marx.

      But . . . What about community organizing?
      Isn’t that a sort of training as well?

      Oh yeah, there’s really a need for additional (liberal) media… Please…
      Wonder why conservatives are so successful?? Pull your head out and realize progressive pundits are talking to 10% of the country!

      I want to address two things…
      1) Even if there were some bizarre conservative training factories or camps or whatever else they want to call them (there aren’t) then why are they always wrong? MM’s stance in this interview seems to be that conservatives are ALWAYS wrong on EVERY issue, and that if MM does the same thing that they say conservatives are doing than the progressives are ALWAYS RIGHT on EVERY issue… Am i missing something???
      2) Koolaiders, please keep your comments off these threads, you don’t post any helpful comments or thoughts so please stop using your posting ability to bash Glenn.

      Progressivism should no longer be recognized as an alternative, opposition party. They are in no uncertain term “Anti-American”
      We need to prove this to the people. Then set out to destroy them. PERIOD!

      And I mean destroy them with the truth, the constitution and history.
