   CONSERVATIVES VS. LIBERALS: THE NATURE OF THE BEAST   
      
   It all began a hundred thousand years ago on a ledge in front of a   
   cave. A female homo sapiens walked by, attracting the attention of   
   a male. The male stepped forward and smacked her over the head with   
   his club. WHACK! He then dragged the unconscious female into his   
   cave for sex.   
      
   One day there were two males standing in front of a cave when a   
   female walked by. The first raised his arm to club the female, but   
   the second male communicated to him that clubbing females over the   
   head to have sex was not nice. WHACK! WHACK! The first male stepped   
   over the unconscious second male and proceeded to rape the female.   
   On that day the first liberal paid the price for expressing a new   
   idea.   
      
   Things didn't change much for thousands of years until the advent   
   of projectile weapons. This was first symbolized by the David and   
   Goliath story in the Bible, where the big strong brute was laid   
   flat by the small but smarter boy. Once brute strength was no   
   longer the controlling factor in social interaction, liberal ideas   
   slowly gained a foothold in human culture, and civilization began.   
      
   Throughout human history, the price for advocating tolerance and   
   progressive change has been paid in threats, beatings,   
   excommunication, incarceration, torture, murder, assassination, and   
   execution. Countless liberals have paid the ultimate price for   
   their humanity. Though Jesus Christ is the most famous, names in   
   recent history that come to mind are Gandhi, Martin Luther King   
   Jr., John Lennon, and Robert Kennedy.   
      
   Today there are many conservatives - individuals, groups, and   
   nations - who use threats and violence to silence the voices of   
   reason, tolerance, and progress. Here in America it is seen in   
   racists and homophobes beating blacks and gays, sometimes to death,   
   not for money or out of anger generated by interactive cause, but   
   because of religious or racial intolerance and secular bigotry.   
      
   Alan Berg on talk radio was a strong voice against a conservative   
   organization called the Aryan Nation. For thus exercising his   
   freedom of speech, he was shot dead while walking his dog in front   
   of his house.   
      
   David Rice is a man on death row in Washington State who has no   
   remorse whatsoever for entering the home of a family of four and   
   carving out their living hearts only because he heard they were   
   "liberals." He got their names from a Democratic Party membership   
   list.   
      
   Right-wingers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols killed 168 men,   
   women, and children as an act of protest. What liberals have ever   
   committed such an abominable atrocity?   
      
   The most abominable atrocity in several decades is the 9/11   
   terrorist attacks in which thousands of innocent civilians were   
   murdered. The alleged perpetrators, Osama Bin Laden and the al   
   Qaeda-Taliban terrorists, epitomize the right-wing religious   
   fundamentalist mentality.   
      
   Some believe that the 9/11 attacks were deliberately allowed to happen,   
   exacerbated, or even perpetrated by radical right-wing elements within   
   our own government to further their fascistic agenda. Two buildings   
   were hit by planes, but THREE collapsed. The evidence that the three   
   collapsed buildings were brought down with demolition explosives put in   
   place BEFORE the attacks is very strong.   
      
   Arguing that such horrendous crimes are not political in nature or   
   that they are not done primarily by conservatives is utter   
   nonsense. Look back:   
      
   Who nailed who to a cross?   
      
   Who were the Loyalists to the totalitarian monarchy of King George?   
      
   Who started our Civil War to defend slavery?   
      
   Who fought to keep women as property, and now fights their   
   sovereignty over their own bodies in the freedom to choose   
   abortion?   
      
   Who fought against child labor statutes?   
      
   Who fought against the concept of free public education?   
      
   Who fought against the right of women to vote?   
      
   Who fought against anti-trust and anti-monopoly legislation?   
      
   Who fought against workers organizing?   
      
   Who fought against government controls on manufacturers of cars   
   "unsafe at any speed?"   
      
   Who killed several thousand innocent civilians in the 9/11   
   terrorist attacks?   
      
   Who started WW2, murdered 13 million and caused the death of 40   
   million more?   
      
   Who defended Jim Crow for a hundred years?   
      
   Who fought against voting rights, civil rights, social security,   
   health care for the elderly, and minimum wages?   
      
   Who fights against environmental protection statutes?   
      
   Who opposes equal rights for gays and other free-lifestyle   
   minorities?   
      
   Who cruelly opposes physician-assisted dying for suffering,   
   terminally ill patients soon to die anyway?   
      
   Who is sabotaging the separation of Church and State, and all our   
   other Constitutional rights, freedoms, and protections?   
      
   Who are the moralizing hypocrites forcing their puritanical   
   inhibitions and prohibitions on ALL Americans via legislation and   
   draconian, police-state enforcement practices?   
      
   Who always puts personal gain and corporate wealth and power above   
   the common good?   
      
   CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS?   
      
   The historic, undeniable truth is that these evils are THE NATURE   
   OF THE CONSERVATIVE BEAST!   
      
   Conservatives have distorted and demonized the word "liberal,"   
   whose true political meaning is favoring progressive change,   
   humanistic values, and opposition to authoritarianism. They   
   identify it with governmental waste and tolerance of criminality,   
   when in fact they themselves are guilty of abuses such as corporate   
   welfare bail-outs and tax evasion, fraud against investors, and   
   other white-collar crime. Conservatives fear and oppose all change   
   and progress beyond "what's in it for me?"   
      
   At the core of conservatism is the Machiavellian bully - the   
   despotic practitioner of "might makes right," craving wealth and   
   power, and willing to use any and all means to get them.   
   Conservatism is the philosophy of the caveman wearing a business   
   suit.   
      
   AND THE CAVEMENS' CLUBS CAN NOW DESTROY OUR EARTH!
