If the social conservative base has such a low opinion of New York - why do they get so riled up about 9/11?

That's something I've been wondering for a while. If they don't like the "moral cesspit" that is New York City, why are they so quick to rally around the banner of 9/11?

You're kidding right?

I'll answer. Because we were attacked and many people died. And we don't like people that attack or hurt our country, at all. And many conservatives view New York in a good light because of all the money and industry that comes from it.

They're hypocrites.

It reminds me of those people driving around in Hummer H2s with stickers on the back that say "Support Our Troops" and "God Bless America".

Op, think about it, the 9/11 terrorists were a) brown b) not american and c) muslim/not christian

Of course Republicans are going to hate them more than liberals. Plus they attacked wall street so probably a lot of people that died are their own people.

"Honest" how? :roll:

The bigger question is, what is wrong with you not understanding this? The premise of your point of view suggests that conservatives support the brutal annihilation of moral cesspits.

Ah, the voice of the "Republicans hate everything black" segment of America.

Grow up, seriously :roll:

Nice defense mechanism there diverting the attention away from your glaring racism...

The culture of death shall never understand why the culture of life opposes it.

That's not what I meant to imply but I could see why you would think that and I apologize. I don't think anyone supports brutal annihilation.

I think my question was more pointed toward the "real" America and "not real" American argument back during the election. Do you remember? When the Republican campaign briefly tried that strategy? New York was certainly not part of their "real" America - so the juxtaposition of running on a "Remember 9/11!" "But only in real America!" platform seems like the ultimate hypocrisy to me.

So you're saying that conservatism is the "culture of life?"

It's the same reason people love to east fast food. Even if they are dying of diabetes. It feels good if you don't pay too much attention. Ever wonder why obesity, the south, and conservatism are all mixed up?

?

It's one of the core values. I don't think you understand what "conservative" is. Life and liberty are at the forefront.

Could you expound on that a little? I just want to make sure I understand what you're getting at.

1 and 2 what? amendments? You're definitely off base on at least #1, and only a few people really give a shit about #2
