Dear Mr and Mrs Liberal American

To Mr. and Mrs. Liberal American,

Conservatives are tired and a little scared of you, to be honest.

You see, we feel you’re about to finally change our great country beyond our recognition and way beyond the desire of our founding fathers and we don’t like that, but every time we try to speak out, we’re called RACIST, BIGOT, NONINCLUSIVE, OUT OF TOUCH…..you name it, we’re it.

Having said that, some of us still think that not all Democrats are Marxists. Some of us remember Pat Moynihan and Tip O’Neal. We didn’t much agree with them, but we felt that they loved America, hated Communism, and would fight hard to promote the success and well being of all of us. I believe they respected and loved the constitution. Some of you either don’t understand it or you resent it; it’s hard to believe that your viewpoints could possibly be taken as following the letter of the laws.

Conservatives are against illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. We feel our country is better served with people who want to come here and be Americans, not sneak in and go on the dole. We feel breaking the laws to come in isn’t a good start toward the goal of becoming a lawful American and we feel working lawfully to get into this country helps aliens feel more respect for us. By the way…we think they should have respect for us. But, then we have sanctuary cities, thanks to liberals. How much respect could law breakers possibly have when we ourselves break our own laws? (We do NOT HATE illegals or Hispanics or anyone else)

Conservatives don’t want you to take our guns away. Read the constitution, it’s right there and we like it. We want protection in case things go wrong. The British got rid of their guns and gun crime went up 24%. (We do NOT believe taking all the guns except those of criminals who’ll never give them up is going to make us safer; how could you?)

Conservatives cherish marriage between a man and a woman and would like to continue that tradition. Statistics (as if anyone needs a study for this?) show that children thrive when they have a mom and a dad who are committed to each other; they benefit from learning from and being nurtured by both. This plan has benefited societies for a couple of thousand years and we don’t see a need to change it. If you feel gay couples have no rights, consult your lawyer, he’ll show you how you’ve been lied to. (We do NOT hate gays) We also believe in the protection of unborn children. And we certainly don't believe babies born in spite of botched abortions shouldn't get medical care. (We believe a child has as many rights as its mother)

Conservatives feel that this country was founded on freedom OF religion, not FROM religion. Lately, we’re starting to feel our Judeo-Christian roots are more under fire than those extremist groups who’d like us dead. We think that’s a lousy idea and we think that Christianity and Judaism, which make up approximately 90% of this country, deserve to be respected and honored and that references to God should stay in the American lexicon. That tiny minorities of other religions are offended speaks volumes about how they feel as an invitee into this country. Some of us even think this society started going down hill precipitously as soon as we took prayer out of our schools, but we’re sorry others haven’t made that connection and we’ll stay quiet on this one for a while. (We do NOT hate all other religions)

Conservatives feel that there is an American culture, no matter how many ‘multicultural fairs’ our elementary schools regale our kids with. Think of a Norman Rockwell painting, that’s us, that’s America. We want to say the pledge of allegiance and leave God in it, we want to celebrate American foods and music and typical attire and not feel we’re being unkind to foreigners in our midst for doing so. We’re not, it’s our country, we let them in, and we feel they might want to make allowances for OUR customs, our feelings for a change. (We do NOT want to prohibit others from celebrating their heritage, but we would like ours respected and put in the forefront in this country. It’s AMERICA.)

Conservatives feel everyone in this country should be able to tell if coffee’s too hot to hold in a cup while we drive and we’d never sue anyone who poured us a good, hot cup. We’d be more careful and realize how stupid WE had been, not the POURER, if it spilled. We know law suit damages have to be reduced and people need to start taking responsibility for their own mistakes. Maybe it would be nice to make the person bringing suit to know that, if he loses, he’s paying the guy he sued’s costs, too. That might bring things back into reality. (We aren’t against someone being compensated for evils done to them, we just know we can handle suits better)

Conservatives feel that America isn’t the only country causing whatever climate change liberals feel is caused by humans (regardless of the information to the contrary about cycles, etc.) and we’d rather not pay for cleaning up the entire world. We feel that an open and honest discussion would do us better than one agenda being rammed down our throats through AARP and other TV commercials and ads, Gore’s constant drone, etc. We are FOR a clean earth, it’s just that we think that not inviting the side we feel holds at least as much credence (US) as the alarmists side to international talks is silly and nonproductive. We don’t block out another point of view. Oh, and we’d never scare kids with the kind of gloom and doom they’re being taught in elementary schools around this country. We think that’s cruel and even a little sick. We don’t use kids to promote an agenda. (We do care about the environment, we’re just realistic about it and don’t hide from truths we don’t like).

Conservatives want FREEDOM We want to think for ourselves, we want the government to stay out of our business and we feel that might help us do better on our own. We believe welfare does a lot of us more damage than it does good. We also know lower taxes promote a successful society better than high taxes do. We want the freedom to spend our money like we’d like to. We want to help the sick and needy on our own, and we do. ( We are not bigots who hate the poor or think they should suffer) We want private union voting and feel anything other than that is Chicago bullying behavior...You know that, how could you not?

Conservatives feel ALL Americans are equal. We are sick of being made to feel guilty for sins of slavery we aren’t responsible for. We also resent minority communities keeping their own people down. We resent the Jesse Jacksons of the world who think they speak for Black America but do nothing but convince them they’re victims, unable to succeed. We side with minorities who feel affirmative action makes them look like they couldn’t do it alone. We encourage people to do well, we don’t admire dependency of any kind.. (We are not racists).

And then, there’s something that’s maybe more important than all of the above: Conservatives aren’t so quick to remind Americans that America’s not a fantastic super power. Why do you liberals do that in so many ways every single day? We don’t feel such guilt that we have to help the rest of the world before we help our own poor and sick.

Conservatives know there are exceptions to all of the above points, but we operate on the majority, not the minority.

We’re tired …The Left, and it's wholly-owned media, has painted us into a corner that’s unfair and even stupid. ANY party which paints any other major party with the mischaracterizations the left has should be ashamed, but you aren’t, are you. You keep pushing and insulting and demeaning and reveling in your media which supports you.....we’d like you to start putting OUR country first again. America was better when did and we just can’t see that in most of your platform.

Mr and Mrs. Liberal American, you’re about to vote for Mr. Barack Obama. Check out the points above, remember the TRUTH in how Obama regards these things (not what he says now for votes, but what he’s said for so many years in so many ways), and think twice.

We Conservatives are begging you. Save this country, stop falling for the lies.

Very Sincerely,

Mr. and Mrs. Conservative American
