It's not that conservatives are stupid neanderthals, it's that stupid neanderthals have hijacked the Republican party and created a new breed of "conservative" that isn't really conservative. Blame Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sarah Palin, and the Bushes for the anti-conservative tone of today's media, not David Letterman, Jon Stewart, or SNL.
I disagree, I think the Republican Party has rejected its Conservative foundation. The Republicans tried to run a "liberal light" candidate last election and it failed. The republicans had a "compassioate conservative" who was really a moderate in the Oval Officer for 8 years and you see how much he was liked. Fact is, America hasn't had a true conservative for President since Reagan.
Of the poeple you listed, only three are conservatives, O'Reilly, and both Bushes are moderates, they are not conservatives at all. I happen to really like Limbaugh and Beck, and I love Palin, because they all make sense to me. Does that make me a neanderthal? Most people who rush to judgement about those three have hardly given them a chance to hear them out, they just run on assumptions or others perceptions rather than their own judgement. Beck is crazy, and his presentations are quite tiring, but his points are very valid and usually spot on. This guy is responsible for at least two people having the step down from Obama's cabinent becuase they could not explain their past. Limbaugh can be arrogant, but he too makes some very good observations in my opinion. I happen to think that Palin is exactly what America needs right now, a real person who wasn't brought up in a rich family or subjected to years of eilite college instruction. Again, that's all my opinion. I believe in Freedom, not tyranny. I believe in the Death Penalty, I believe in capitalism and the free market. I think abortion is murder. I think any human being who supports killing an innocent baby while saving the life of a murderer is twisted. Those are just a few of my beliefs, so why does a majority of the Hollywood elite hate me so much even though some of my hard earned dollars finance their pampered way of life? I don't get it at all.
