Quotes by Joe Conason

As far as I can tell, the Republicans, at least on Capitol Hill, are far more immoral, by their own standards, than the Democrats are.

Conservatives truly love America and support the armed forces, while liberals are unpatriotic draft dodgers.

Democrats - most Democrats, anyway - have that attitude towards human sexuality and morality in general, that if you're not harming someone else, you should pretty much be able to manage your own private affairs. The Republicans are eager to interfere in other people's private business.

The smarter conservatives, in my view, probably know that a lot of the things they're saying are not true, which only makes them say them with greater certainty. But there's another level of conservative spokesperson who probably believes every word of his or her propaganda and are immune to facts, immune to argument.
