Ms. Harrop, you fall into the same lazy mind trap that pervades, and defines, liberal thought. So, let's go with the idea, for a minute, that conservatives need to be "less judgemental" to attract minorities.
Here is THE question. So, how is the Great Society programs, and the ongoing liberal victimization of poor minorities working?
True conservatives know that conservative standards are based in love and compassion for those born less fortunate. True conservatives do not say that Sarah Palin's daughter's pregnancy was O.K.. It was not. Also, Sen. McCain is not a conservative. You see how running non-conservatives works for the country.
Once again, after all the talk of hypocracy from conservatives, what has liberalism done for poor minorities?
There is an article in today's Nashville TENNESSEAN that states that a local university, The University of the South, will no longer use SAT's, or any other standardized tests, to measure educational acheivement. Don't you just love it? Now being able to write a logical paragraph, or solve an equation is racist.
And on the suffering goes, with minorities trapped in government funded ghettos filled with fatherless, uneducated children, with children for mothers, waiting till they can make money as a drug dealer,prostitute, or pimp.
Once again, Ms, Harrop, how has "Minorities not being fooled by conservative morals" worked for poor minorities?
Please write about how "liberal morals" will save the next generation of uneducated, bitter, poor minorities?
That shopuld be good for a grin. Lord knows, conservatives could use it. After all, given the progressive tax codes that liberals use to punish the effective among us, we are going to pay for it the outcome anyway.
Here are some more ideas for columns.
1) How government programs are behind the success, in the U.S., of peoples like the Irish, Germans, Middle Eastern immigrants, Asians, etc..
2) How being able to point out hypocracy in some of your opponents is more important than helping those in need.
3)How "all cultures are equal," with none of the mores of different cultures being better at furthuring the well being of individuals than others. By the way, it is cultural factores that predict success or failure, not race. Note: Liberals believe that race and culture are the same thing.
4) Lastly, why some people hold, so-called conservative values, as you state; but they vote against their conservative personal values to protest a few hypocrites. WOW! That's really self destructive. But that is the topic of a column that you will not write.
Ms. Harrop, some of us really do not care what our circle of friends think. If they do not agree with our values, we change friends, or even careers. Maybe, you should consider the same, before you do any more harm to poor minorities.
SHOCK! Some young girls even look at the values of young men they let into their lives. Some even look at the young man's ability to be a father and provide a reasonable income. Will wonders never cease.
