Nutroots Fire Back, Hit Own Foot

I received the following comment yesterday:

"for conciseness' sake, replace all blog posts w/ 'liberals, LIBERALS, soulless LIEberals, materialism, liberals!, irrational, liberals! conservatives rock; I am so entirely blind to the irony of accusing liberals for a variety of offenses of which conservatives are equal guilty that Jesus is rolling over in his grave'

TIA
-nonpartisan"
 
What a wonderfully thoughtful response to my philosophy as thus far elucidated!  I love the Internet.

ADDENDUM:  The problem with putting words in another's mouth is that one inevitably reveals more about oneself than about the other person.  Look closely now:  he's changing the emphasis from liberalism and conservatism as philosophies to liberals and conservatives as people!  But that's not what this blog is about, of course.  It is about exposing modern liberalism as the malevolent moral and political force that it is, and maybe at times about expounding on the principles of conservatism.  Particular conservatives and liberals helpfully act out a continuing drama that provides material for my writings on these topics.

Liberalism is essentially irrational and materialistic in a way that conservatism is not.  Perhaps if this commenter had thought about the posts instead of simply becoming angry, he may have been able to provide a more thoughtful response to my beliefs in this area.

By the by, don't you just love the "non-partisan" label affixed to the end of that little tirade, there?  He must not know that to take sides is to be a partisan--and he has clearly taken a side somewhere, because he's arguing against mine.  (Or...ranting against, or something.)  Incidentally, there's nothing wrong with partisanship; it is the essence, an indispensable element, of democracy.  The "non-partisan" thing is such a charming schtick!
