The Silent Majority

Read this entire piece by Betsy M. Galliher, explaining perfectly how conservatives think, and how we're continually attacked for it. Here's an excerpt:

"The only person who actually pulled the trigger on that terrible, fateful day was Jared Loughner -- by every account, a deeply troubled young man. But the real guilty walk among us: senior citizens in red, white, and blue, armed with signs saying 'Taxed Enough Already'; flag-wavers clinging to guns and religion; doctors; the wealthy; business owners; talk radio; and any citizen -- particularly a conservative -- who dares exercise his or her right to free speech.
We're called greedy, stupid, and racist. We're ridiculed with snide 'slurpee' innuendos and called lewd and malicious names, such as 'teabaggers.' Ordinary citizens are maligned by their own government while the pious, liberal elite get a free pass on reason and truth, while Islamists invoke their religious cloak, while the ideologue professes his moral superiority, while the media uses the power of spin, and while leftists, including Robert Gibbs and Barack Obama, employ their bully pulpit.
We defend conservatism by our very way of life: as self-reliant, taxpaying, moral citizens, and as faithful defenders of limited government and the power of the individual. We are violent inciters only insomuch as we threaten the current leftist, agenda-driven stranglehold on government. So alarming is our threat that the real inciters wasted no time in politicizing the tragic deaths of six innocent citizens, not to mention one revered congresswoman still fighting for her life. And they will waste no time in shamelessly exploiting a 'crisis' at the hand of a lone psychopath to further enact gun control and squelch freedom of speech under cries of 'civility.'"
