This is a blog to which I've just been introduced, and it seems to be an excellent one. I especially like his post from yesterday, where he attempts to combat the notion that conservatives are mean and uncaring. A few excerpts:
The conclusions I came to were that most republicans and conservatives simply do not care about issues such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. It is irrelevant.
The democrats are a collection of interest groups. This is not a criticism. It is just a statement of who comprises their coalition. This is why the democrats have to have special debates for their various constituencies. The democrats had a “gay debate” solely dealing with gay issues. It was hosted by lesbian singer Melissa Etheridge. The democrats also had a “black debate,” and a “Latino debate.”Check out the link for the whole story - it's worth the read. Keep checking out the Tygrrrr Express on a regular basis, too. I certainly plan to!
Below is a visual.
BLACK democrats. GAY democrats. JEWISH democrats. WOMEN democrats.
REPUBLICAN blacks. REPUBLICAN gays. REPUBLICAN Jews. REPUBLICAN women.
Republicans are able to boil their entire beliefs into 3 or 4 simple bullet points. Democrats like to say that they are more “nuanced.” Nuanced might play well with their fellow liberal intellectuals, but the average American wants things broken down in a simple manner, i.e. get to the point.
Republicans favor:
1) Low taxes
2) Dead terrorists
3) Less regulation
4) More freedom and liberty
One can agree or disagree with every aspect of this platform, but what is beyond dispute is that the platform exists.
Democrats do not have this. They issue meaningless platitudes such as that they are “for families.”
There's my two cents.
