Why do conservatives let Sean Hannity define Sharia Law for them?

The Liberal Progressives (LP) don't seem to be interested in the truth. They have their caricature of what a Tea Party Conservative is and they won't let they truth interfere in their narrative. I'm a proud Tea Party Conservative.

I believe in a strict original intent application of the constitution. Application is far more important than interpretation. I want smaller government that lives within it's means.

Don't spend money you don't have. Start paying off the debt. I have no problem with a government that shows compassion to those who CAN'T take care of themselves.

I have a big problem with government handouts that encourage people who can take care of themselves to stop doing that and instead depend on government to take care of them. The lower the tax rate, the more the people can engage in commerce and build prosperity. More prosperity benefits all of us by creating more jobs and generating more taxable income to provide essential government services.

But I really doubt any LP will care what I say here. They have got their story and they will keep telling it. There have already been those that said you don't really believe what you said you believe.

It seems they think they know your heart better than you do. But I think we get to define who we are. They won't listen but we will continue to define ourselves.

The trick is finding venues to discuss who we are and what we believe and have an honest debate with those who don't know who we are. I try to use this forum, and I've reached some people and changed their minds for the better. One by one we can reach people if they have an open mind.

What you need to do is look at what the TEA party is actually doing. Have you not seen the hate? The bringing of guns to town-hall meetings?

How they claimed Gifford "Had it coming". They are using the same rhetoric the Nazi's used when they rose to power. You need to ask yourself - is this really what I want to be in?

Is there not another way that we can get the government in check without pushing for violence? So go ahead - Redefine yourself. You're not so different from us.

But the real TEA party has the far-right behind it - find a new name, and give up the hate. Maybe we'll join you. We want responsible govt too.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
