>> Conservatives though, don't even pretend to be on any side but the powerful. Both political parties have ground their bootheals into the teeth of the poor. Liberals are just too stupid to know they are doing it.

"I hope you enjoy owning this piece as much as I enjoyed creating it. Your friend, George Zimmerman." George Zimmerman earned a new title Saturday — professional artist — when eBay bidding ended on his six-figure oil painting. The winning bid: $100,099.99. This hand-painted artwork from George Zimmerman is going for nearly $100,000 on eBay. (eBay.com / December 17, 2013) It wasn't immediately known who bought Zimmerman's original oil painting showing part of an American flag washed in blue with the words "God," "one nation," and "with liberty and justice for all" printed in the flag stripes. According to eBay, the painting received 96 bids from 24 bidders. "Whoever wins within the Continental United States, will receive this painting delivered by me personally. Your friend," Zimmerman told his commenters on the eBay auction site. A frenzy followed soon after bidding started Monday, driving the offers to nearly $100,000 in a single day. orlandosentinel.com

Conservatives though, don't even pretend to be on any side but the powerful Conservatism, the real liberalism, stands for the principles that benefit everyone. Understanding that would require months with your nose in books now strange to you and too many others. That study would also clarify why the moral disease your kind espouse is so evil

>Mostly. There are some liberals who advocate protection of some of the powerful at the expense of others. That's true. >Conservatives though, don't even pretend to be on any side but the powerful. Really? Trickle-down economics is exactly that -- pretending to be on the side of the lower classes while actually (and obviously) giving more to the powerful.... If you give to the poor, you hurt them, but if you give to the rich, you help the poor. That's not pretending? -Z
