Rant: Liberals are no better Americans than Conservatives

Okay, enough of this shit. Conservatives and liberals have been having it out for eachother since their inception into the lexicon. They seem irreconcilable. But hate speech is not necessary. Here's a little gem I found on Crooks and Liars:

Sorry Mark. Conservatives are too dependent on their parasitic status to care about social responsibility. To the conservative mindset, social responsibility begins and ends with personal greed.

They simply can’t afford to admit it when another Conservative is feeding them bullshit. This is why Liberals will always be the better Americans. Liberals can admit mistakes so they can make for better decisions later on. Whereas conservative parasites need to feel they are the moral and social default in all things (so they can maintain that unearned advantage). So admitting they are wrong would just take that already shaky pedestal away from them and make them fight on even ground with everyone else.

First, it's important to remember that this is the opinion of just one pinhead, posting that as a comment to a larger thread. I'm not going to pull a Bill O'rly? here and try to imply that that is the mindset of Crooks and Liars, because it isn't, and to insinuate that is simple stupidity. However, that doesn't mean that I can't rip this guy a new one.

For one, about that greed comment. We're humans. Animals. We've been hard-wired to be obese and promiscuous. It's in out genes, the only reason we're here today is because our ancestors got it right. Greed is a natural occurrence. If you don't want to indulge yourself, fine. More for the rest of us. Not to mention that "personal greed" is what keeps the economy going. Asshole.

Second, "Liberals will always be the better Americans"? Fuck you. It's assholes like you who give legitimacy to the term "liberal elite". I can see why everybody who doesn't identify themselves as you (and even some that do) find you so sickening. Go die in a hole. With Justin Trudeau. Commie prick.

If liberals really want to advance the level of social discourse, they'll distance themselves from this asshole. And hippies. They're no advantage either.
