"Ain't it awful", and "Shame on you", the two big conservative items are what seems to survive. Those generate energy.

Watch daytime television, or the 700 Club, and listen to Christian and/or right-wing broadcasting and it's "ain't it awful" or "shame on them", over and over and over and over.

Gets tiresome for a thinking person (read "liberal"). Tell me someone can listen to Rush Limbaugh without dropping 30 IQ points in order to try to make sense of him AND stay awake.

Conservatives sort of get off on it, though. No one in the history of the world has had it as bad as conservatives in the US. Taxes, no automatic weapons, no government sponsored religion (Christianity), more taxes, people on welfare, every attempt to pray (Christian prayers) stifled, taxed some more, emission controls, it's a tough life and they need to talk about it.

Everywhere a conservative looks there's a person getting an abortion, or bitching about their so-called "civil rights", read "special privileges" and trying to figure new ways to confiscate hard-earned dividends and interest. Since the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, the right-wing has to haunt the airwaves, bitching and bitching and bitching. They are more free that way.

A liberal may not need to do that.
