Why I'm no longer a conservative

In an attempt to be recognized by MSNBC as a conservative fed up with the conservative movement. I've decided that I'm no longer a "conservative" but a "not a conservative".

In Charles Johnson/Andrew Sullivan fashion, below are my ten points as to why I've changed from being a "conservative" to being a "not a conservative".


Because......

1) I resent the lunatics on right wing radio and TV. Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz are quite the poster children of sane, intellectual discourse.

2) It's clear that any critic of the Obama administration is a racist lunatic even though many of these same people have voted for and been supportive of black politicians in the past.

3) It's clear that tea baggers have to meet in large parks for a rally because they don't have the persuasive capabilities to riot in the streets like these committed democrats.

4) Making sure that abortion is part of every bill sent to congress is a core American value. Even when congress votes to celebrate National Foot Massage Day

5) Being around man made global warming theists is much more tolerable than those yokels who believe in a garden variety vanilla type, omnipotent, god. Even if you have to make stuff up to prove it exists.

6) Surely Tiger would choose Susan over Ann. Right?











7) I can't be around a bunch of morons who believe that a government who can't run a "Cash for Clunkers" program can't run a trillion dollar health care system. I mean c'mon...... Medicare's the model for all successful government run health care systems. Can't you see that?

8) I can't stand being around these goofball birthers. Or was that truthers? Or was that the Dan Rather fake/but true stories? OK, Never mind.

9) A right-wing blogosphere that is dominated by raging hate speech (Powerline, NRO, Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.). Once again, if you want sane conversation about government see the Daily Kos or The Democratic Underground.

10) What type of special dumb ass do you have to be to support the only democratic country in the Middle East and our only friend? Everyone knows that the only way appreciate an ally is to persecute every move they make.

So there you go.

Now, if you are a producer from MSNBC, contact my agent, he'll inform you that my integrity can't be purchased but it can be leased at a reasonable price.

It's my hope that I can make the "not a conservative" "conservative" talk circuit and rub elbows with the likes of David Frum, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker, Andy and Charlie, et al.

It's a much more effective way to get on mainstream mediums than being a plain, ordinary conservative.
