"Modern American conservatism is based on an almost endless series of grievances. Author Thomas Frank coined a term for it: the conservative “plenty-plaint” -- a long and ever-evolving list of personal and cultural gripes dressed up as an ideology. "

Can't you just post them? I don't feel like losing any brains cells reading some liberal website. It is funny though Liberals saying conservatives whine about stuff. That's all liberals do!

It's against the forum rules to copy more than two sentences from a source. You will have to read it yourself.

Funny and so, so true.

Im relieved to recognize all ten of them as pet fears of righties on this board. It's somehow comforting to know that this board is representative. Wouldnt know what they're like, otherwise.
