Conservatives are held to higher standards. This is from an email which I sent out to a Liberal friend, yes I do have them. I had used the term 'Libtard' which I do from time to time. I did some soul searching and reflection before responding to the correspondence.
"I have given this topic a little bit of thought and I agree with you. Conservatives are always held to a higher standard by both the Progressives and themselves. It is accepted by our national population that it is ok for Liberals to call Conservatives names such as 'Christian Militiamen', 'Religious Right', 'Swift boaters', 'fascists', 'racists', 'neoconservatives', and my new favorite, 'teabagger'. The Progressives have been very effective in their propaganda to be able to get people in this country to view things with a leftist tinge. and continue with the moral high ground that is expected of a Conservative. 1. http://is.gd/czCng
This concerted efforts by the Left, since the beginning of the 20th century, is admirable and was needed since there was unchecked control by industrialists and business owners. The unfortunate side effect is that these industrial engines that brought our culture to the forefront of the world are now being viewed too much today in a negative light by the population that has benefited the most by it. This has caused our nation to begin a downturn as can be seen in the current state of our economy and high unemployment rate.
There is now a huge divide in this country in how we see America. There are some who believe in 'Conservatism' and that by continuing the principles of the Constitution, this country can continue it's ascendancy to greatness. They believe that this path will lead the world to see us as that 'shining city on the hill'. They see America as a positive force that has benefited not only ourselves but the rest of the world.
There are those that believe in 'Progressivism' which view the Constitution as too limiting of the power of Government (as it was designed by the founders to do). They believe that they know what is good for the population and that through big Government, it is the instrument to do it with, the nanny-state. They see America as a negative force in the world and want to take this nation into a parity with these lesser nations.
The saddest part of this disagreement is that the majority of the people in this country are apathetic to it today. They don't care one way or the other which direction that this country takes. Try to read about the great events of our nation and you'll find that only a very small percentage of the population actually took a stand and were involved. So as a Conservative, I will continue to try to take the moral high ground as is expected and I will try to refrain from using negative terms. The Liberals can do and say what they want because of lowered expectations and standards. You can be proud though, that at least you took a stand for your beliefs and history will note that.
I think that sometimes we don't understand each other, so I leave you this brief explanation of what we believe. “Conservatism is a paradigm of essences towards which the phenomenology of the world is in continuing approximation.” 2. http://is.gd/czDLD "
