I deal with armchair conservatives. You know, they make up the majority of the Republican party. The ones who sit silent and don't talk about a balance budget once conservatives are in office, blame government for their own personal failings in life rather than take ownership for their lack of success, whine about everything the left does even if it was the best course of action or the same thing that would have happened under conservative leadership, etc.
While this forum is almost entirely angry conservatives, I see very few posts of any substance, so I'd argue that armchair conservatives are a bigger problem and it would be nice to actually see any posts of the conservative variety here that are well thought out with ideas based on data and facts.
Unfortunately, data and facts are liberal. At least, according to the modern sense of the word.
I have several neighbors who are liberals, mostly retired or current Texas government employees and longtime transplants to Texas. I love 'em as friends, but, I find it hypocritical that they have made a very healthy living in this great state, yet refuse to acknowledge the reason Texas is so prosperous is because it is not run like the liberal wastelands they fled!
Something worse? Living in a blue state, whose primary employer is the federal government, meaning hoards of people seeking employment here, thus relocating in the vicinity, bringing their loopy liberal ideas here and trying to rebuild the crappy areas they moved from. Why move if you want the same old same old around the block? None of us wanted it just as we didn't want the sprawl they brought with them. The real fun is when they demand certain amenities should exist for them because that's the way it was in XXXXX. The schools should be like the were in XXXXX.
Me, Me, Me, Me, MEEEEE!!!
They then attack/critisize long time residents who don't want a redo of the area.
Are you saying that most conservatives use that word?
In private, many do in my experience. I haven't done a survey or anything, it's just the example I encounter most often. And of the ones that don't, they'll frequently whitesplain that they should be able to say it, even if they don't because they don't want to be ridiculed, because 1st amendment or rappers say it or blah blah.

Well, if that's true of your experience, than I can understand your outlook. I can only go by my experiences and tell you that while I live in one of the whitest, most conservative parts of California that is not the norm. I think there are nice, considerate people on both sides of the political aisle. The ----heads are the ones that make getting along difficult.
