You do have to admit that it takes some serious mental gymnastics to rectify Christian teachings and conservative fiscal/social policies!

I'm not saying you're wrong in all cases, but a lot of times it goes something like this:

Person #1: "I'm opposed to bloated government programs that perpetuate poverty by creating a welfare culture of dependency."
Person #2: "YOU HATE THE POOR!"

Person #1: "I'm opposed to bloated government healthcare systems that create more problems than they solve."
Person #2: "YOU HATE THE SICK!"

The fact that you focus on the arguments of person #1 (who is at least trying) more than the arguments of person #2 (who is jumping to extreme conclusions) says something.

Person#2 is irrelevant since you're just using that in a parodic manner.

That only applies to the stupid catchphrases. Well, wait, that pretty much covers them all. Good point.

It's more like:

Person 1: All lives matter

Person 2: Ok so you're for equality of all races and genders?

Person 1: No, acknowledging the LGBTQ community is a sin. They do not deserve equality.

Person 2: Ok what about accepting refugees trying escape war zones and situations they had no control or part in?

Person 1: We will not take those criminals and terrorists!

Person 2: So you said All Lives Matter. What's your opinion on the Black Lives Matter movement and it's attempt to achieve the equal treatment and value of black lives by criminal justice system?

Person 1: They're just a bunch of thugs who want special treatment and feel entitled to more than they deserve. Besides what about Blue Lives Mattering? Huh?

Person 2: Interesting. Well yes the life of police officers matter but the comparison is inaccurate since one can choose to be blue whereas you don't get to choose your skin color.

Person 1: They're still thugs looking for a handout. All lives matter not just black lives.

Person 2: Maybe you should look up the definition of that word.

Person 1: What word?

Person 2: "All"

all people are evil
I don't know why more people don't just embrace being evil...

It's a lot of fun and WAY easier than trying to put a happy spin on cut throat corporate culture.
Right?

It would be a start if people would stop pretending they give a ***about the people they're squeezing every dime they can out of.
Well, at least we wouldn't have professional politicians anymore.
Sounds OK to me.
