Oh, I didn't mean to imply that all conservatives talk that way. It just came to mind because we were at a Christmas party last night and everyone there was conservative, and we were having fun talking about the election and the topic of Barbra Streisand came up, and then one guy started on that rap about how the Jews control the world and they control the media and all that old stuff. He was going on about how we shouldn't have fought against Hitler because Hitler was anti-Communist. My husband got him to back down by pointing out that Fascism was really similar to Communism, it was state control of property, they just let the property stay in private hands.

Anyway the other people didn't agree with him. But there's just that element, and you never know who thinks like that because they won't say it unless they think you won't object. I was friends with someone I admired for a long time, and then one day he let down his hair and started on that type of rap and it just made me feel like I couldn't trust anyone.
