Replace "conservatives" with "Americans".<BR/><BR/>I believe it is media marketing that has done this. Peter Gabriel has a song "We Do What We're Told".<BR/><BR/>We have been told to be consumer monkeys for so long that we no longer think about anything else. We don't seem to be capable of critical thinking any longer. <BR/><BR/>You keep throwing out the political side of this, which turns it into an "us vs. them" debate.

In typical conservative style, they oppose helping the little guys while remaining silent as the rich make off with the treasury.<BR/><BR/>I have no doubt they approved of the S&L bailout, the tax cuts for the rich, the existence of tax shelters for the rich, the huge salaries for CEOs of even decimated corporations, the military-industrial complex, taxpayer-funded research with the resulting product patents given to corporations, etc etc etc the list is too long to recount. I know the Review also supports the trillion dollars we're spending in Iraq to destroy tens of thousands of innocent civilians.<BR/><BR/>Why do conservatives worship the wealthy and do everything they can to harm anyone else? Why are they so indifferent to the powerless but fawn over the powerful?<BR/><BR/>BECAUSE THEY'RE INTELLECTUALLY LAZY, AS ARE ALL CONSERVATIVES.
