Clearing up the Myths About Conservatives on Political Pistachio

The Surprising Truth Behind the Myths About Conservatives


You know how it is. As Conservatives we are labeled every which way, and then some. We are, in the words and minds of the far-left, a conservative hodge-podge of Racists, Warmongers, Religious Extremists, and a group of stupid-intolerant-mean-selfish-greedy-extreme-out of touch jerks. If you are pro-life, then you must be a clinic bomber. If you don’t support the myth of Man-made Global Warming, then you don’t care about the planet and only recycle because it is either A: The Law, or B: Due to greed you recycle to get back your already paid redemption value. I have been called a homophobe, bigot, Islamophobe, extremist, and religious zealot. Fact is, the Left loves to target us with labels out of one side of their mouth, as they proclaim that labels are a bad thing out of the other side. I actually have a liberal commenter that specifically says that he refuses to use labels, but then constantly comments about me, and refers to anybody that agrees with me as “Your Side.”
S.E. Cupp and Brett Joshpe are a couple young professionals living in Manhattan, and like other Rightwing Nutjobs (to use the Liberal Vernacular) have noticed the eruption of these common and offensive myths about conservatives. In their book, “Why You’re Wrong About The Right,” they tackle twenty of the most common and offensive myths about the Right. They interviewed dozens of experts and celebrities, drawing on their collective experiences to present a fresh view of the Right. The book’s intention is to surprise, humor and educate - and it accomplishes all three.

Tonight, these two young Conservatives are my guests on Political Pistachio Radio. They will discuss their book, and discuss some of the stereotypes of the Right that have risen through pop-culture. Do Conservatives truly fit these mythical stereotypes? Or is the Left just jumping to conclusions?

Find out tonight on Political Pistachio Radio!

Teflon? How about the Crystal Candidate?

It is being said the Mr. Obama is the amazing teflon candidate. It did not seem to matter what happened. Nothing was sticking to Mr. Obama. It did not seem to matter that he was in a church for 18 years under a pastor that preached hate and division. It did not seem to matter that Mr. Obama said that he during all that time had NEVER heard those things. It did not seem to matter that Mr. Obama had and continues a professional relationship with a man that was and still is proud of his homegrown terrorist acts. Mr. Obama has yet to denounce this man and it does not seem to matter. Its like someone sprayed Mr. Obama with a healthy coat of PAM for baking!

But as time has rolled on I have noticed one thing though. Any and all criticism, questioning, disagreement or silence about anything Mr. Obama has said will be dealt with quickly and harshly! Its like his supporters and handlers are very afraid that Mr. Obama’s feelings will be hurt. Its like Mr. Obama’s campaign would be brought to a screeching halt if I said something against Mr. Obama on my blogtalkradio show. Like I have that great power. Well it took a while to figure it out but I have it!

Mr. Obama is not the great Teflon man but the crystal candidate! We must all treat him and his campaign with great care. The rough treatment that the left gave to the campaigns of President Bush and now Sen. McCain would simply destroy the campaign of Mr. Obama. According to CNN, TV One, BET, MTV, MySpace,Tiger Beat, MSNBC, Jet, Ebony,Essence, TV Guide, New York Times, Atlanta Constitution and Kayne West, rough treatment of Mr. Obama’s campaign might indeed damage the chance to make history. The delicate nature of this can not upset by asking a question about Mr. Obama’s qualifications concerning the military. Please no shouting about why Mr. Obama wants an armed non-military state-side force that will be larger and better funded than the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and the Coast Guard are now. All that shouting will cause cracks in the crystal goblet of hope and change. The campaign has no time to answer questions about drilling! All that drilling would make too much noise! That noise might shake that goblet off the shelf of elitism and have it crash to the floor of real world! And we simply can not have that!
