What’s the difference between conservatives and liberals?
Well, you’d say what Bill Whittle says about conservatives in these two videos. (H/T ECM)
1) Conservatives value limited government and free enterprise
If you like having a choice when you go shopping or if you like having a job, then you’re a conservative. If you like collecting welfare, and preventing people from choosing better schools for their children, then you’re a progressive/liberal/socialist/communist.
2) Conservatives value individual choices over government control
If you think that you know best how to run your own life, then you’re a conservative. If you think that the government should run your life for you, then you’re a progressive/liberal/socialist/communist.
What do conservatives look like?
Here’s my favorite conservative, Representative Michele Bachmann:
This is what conservatives look like and sound like. Are you one?
Michele Bachmann raises 5.4 million in 3rd quarter
From ABC News. (H/T ECM)
Excerpt:
Tea Party-backed Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-MN, raised an extraordinary $5.4 million in the third quarter, possibly smashing a congressional fundraising record for a three-month period while pushing her total fundraising haul for this election cycle to almost $10 million.
Although Federal Election Commission financial disclosure reports are not due until October 15, Bachmann press secretary Sergio Gor confirmed to ABC News late Tuesday evening that Bachmann raked in the incredible loot in the months of July, August and September. Gor said he expected Bachmann to report that she has about $3.4 million cash-on-hand in her campaign war chest.
“I am so grateful to the more than 80,000 people who have contributed to my campaign this quarter,” Bachmann said in a statement Wednesday. “Their support is truly overwhelming and I am blessed to havetheir support in my campaign to represent Minnesota.”
More than 100,000 contributions were in amounts of $100 or less, giving Bachmann an average contribution of less than $50, according to Gor.
She’s thoughtful and conservative and that’s what the people want.
Oh, and Sharron Angle raise $14 million in the last quarter. She’s a Sunday school teacher and she understand economics, just like Michele does.
