Here's another good one on the end of Karl Rove.

Just remember conservatives, the only reason that the democrats hit the last election out of the park was that they finally started swinging at Rove's softballs.

Honestly, as a Christian and a patriot, I just do not understand any possible way that another American could approve of this man's behavior.  Every time that I hear any sort of defense of Rove, it's either "this whole thing is just a big, liberal conspiracy" (which has never been the case), or "Yes he's bad, but at least he has empowered a conservative president" (also untrue).

Liberal conspiracies do not exist.  Or, rather, they do, but only if someone considers grassroots political activity and a healthy system of democratic activity a conspiracy (Russian Tsars, German Autocrats, Communists of all stripes and Islamic Theocracies have the same opinion).  In the nineteenth-century understanding, I suppose a liberal political action would be considered a conspiracy. 

For all of the die-hard, conservatives out there, just remember that these "conspiracies" were the very same that have led to nearly every major source of American social progress.  Thanks to liberals, children are not sent to coal mines to die at an early age in order to line the pockets of industrialists.  Thanks to liberals, the federal government has played a major role in enhancing US society, giving this nation the assets that we need to move forward (things like universities, laws, social programs and environmental protection).

Famous Republicans such as Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln were considered liberals in their day.  And, thank God, they were empowered by the people of this nation to make America a better place for all of us.

The major problems with liberals are that they can get carried away.  However, we have elections that will easily change the political spectrum.

Also, the myth that George Bush is truly conservative is probably one of the most widely-believed fabrications that I have ever heard.  He has done nothing, NOTHING, to advance conservative politics, and his reckless administration had defiled the name "conservative" for at least the next two election cycles.  Just look to the new, grassroots conservative movements that are emerging to advance their own, independent agenda.  Bush has done nothing against gay marriage, nothing to stem abortion, his so-called "conservative judges" constantly make rulings that overturn his policies, and the closest he came to advancing faith in this nation was a half-hearted semi-endorsement of intelligent design.  I am sure that his two terms will be remembered as one of the great mistakes of my generation.

He is the democratically-empowered voice of conservatism in this nation (assuming that anyone still believes that he is a conservative), but he has left conservatism powerless.  Furthermore, he has split the Republican party apart, giving liberals the best chance in the last 15 years to push through any policy that they might think up.  George Bush is singly the greatest disaster that the American right could have ever suffered.
