Defeat the Right in THREE MINUTES!
"Have you got three minutes. Because that's all you need to learn how to defeat the Republican Right. Just read through this handy guide and you'll have everything you need to successfully debunk right-wing propaganda.

It's really that simple. First, you have to beat their ideology, which really isn't that difficult. At bottom, conservatives believe in a social hierarchy of "haves" and "have nots" that I call "corporate feudalism". They have taken this corrosive social vision and dressed it up with a "respectable" sounding ideology. That ideology is pure hogwash, and you can prove it.

. . . snip . . .

Right-Wing Ideology in a Nutshell

When you cut right through it, right-wing ideology is just "dime-store economics" – intended to dress their ideology up and make it look respectable. You don't really need to know much about economics to understand it. They certainly don't. It all gets down to two simple words.

"Cheap labor". That's their whole philosophy in a nutshell – which gives you a short and pithy "catch phrase" that describes them perfectly. You've heard of "big-government liberals". Well they're "cheap-labor conservatives".




--MORE-- and well worth the read! See a "quick list" of how this applies to what they support. and one to what they've always supported. Dirty truths here.

2. Most of them are too stupid to understand what you are saying
all you have to say is Beck, Rush and the rest are taking your money and making fools of you all and their heads simply explode.

6. Cheap Labor Conservative -
I think it's a phrase that should be used often.
