| No More Mr. Nice Conservative |

| [SultanKnish] There is nothing that corrupts conservatives quite as much as the need to be nice. Conservatives are natural optimists who see the world as being basically a nice place. They are nice because they think that the world is nice. That worldview is not reciprocated by the other side. Where conservatives see a country store, liberals see an oppressive outpost of capitalism. Where conservatives see a family, liberals see abusive patriarchy, oppressive gender norms, religious indoctrination and apple pie. Our current broken family society is the outcome of a cultural war waged against families based on that viewpoint. The left is convinced that the world is an evil place, that people are basically terrible and that they are the only thing standing between us and the return of human slavery. It's no wonder that liberals are so nasty. In political wars, conservatives have to force themselves to be nasty and liberals have to force themselves to be nice. Media control flips the script so that the average person is under the impression, without having listened to either one, that Rush Limbaugh screeches hate at the top of his lungs while Jon Stewart is a fun-loving entertainer, when really it's the other way around. But the media excels at pumping out one core message; liberals are good people and conservatives are bad people. The details are usually forgettable and buried in a thousand contextualized stories, but the message permeates everything. And even when the public doesn't buy it, conservatives do. Kinda like Israelis vs Paleosimians |

| #2 We keep pretending that the other side plays by the rules and has the same values we do. Nothing could be further from the truth. |
