As much as some of the rhetoric from some Conservatives turn me off, they have nothing on the hatred from Progressives. An example was the political hit job on Mitt Romney done in 2012. The Obama regime turned a Moderate Eisenhower Republican into a murdered, felon and Nazi. Progressives have done this to many Conservatives over the years. With control of the media and the Popular Culture, they can get away with this tactic.
The rudeness of the Progressive movement is due to the lack of respect the Left has for the Right. They feel superiority over those who do not share their worldview. The Guardian of all places has a great article exposing the rude and dismissive behavior of the Left and their self righteous hypocrisy.
Why is it that liberals feel no qualms about being rude? Far too many people who are perfectly polite and courteous, otherwise, think nothing of insulting you for not sharing their political opinions. They look at us with disdain, thinking we’re unenlightened conservatives and never hesitating to say so.
As the lone conservative at the tennis courts, I cringe at the Sarah Palin jokes and the jabs at Mormons. When news came on 9/11 that planes had struck the World Trade Center, my partner commented that Bush would use it as an excuse to increase military spending. Bush, of course, is dumb – as are all Republicans, and we’re epitomized by Dan Quayle, whose spelling of “potatoe” has entered historical canon. (Never mind Obama’s telling us there are 57 states, or having a meltdown without a teleprompter) And now it’s Marco Rubio, caught drinking water. “Next time he’ll forget to zip his fly,” joked one of the guys. Mitt Romney changes his mind more often than he changes his underwear. Reagan had Alzheimer’s when he made B movies, and Bonzo had to feed him his lines. And would you believe, from a guy with a pathetic serve, this comment about the Clarence Thomas, justice of the supreme court: send him back to the plantation.

I once called up a friend before a trip down to Florida, and I told him I enjoyed driving and stopping at different places along the way, staying awhile to learn about the country outside of New York. “The red states,” he said disdainfully. “Those pickup truck people have a lot of common sense,” I said. Click. He had hung up the phone.

Wouldn’t it be better for America if liberals really were liberal, and listened to other points of view? Is prayer in public places really so awful? Isn’t it possible to have legitimate concerns about the effects of gay marriage? Hasn’t Sarah Palin earned some respect for her successful fight against corruption in Alaska? Perhaps the best response to global warming is to adapt to it, rather than spending billions to fight it. Think about it.
For every jerk on the Right like Ann Coulter or Steven King, there are more on the Left like Bill Maher, Ed Schultz, Al Sharpton, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and Charles Johnson. The rude and dismissive nature of the Progressive movement really reveals their elitist nature. Progressive believe they are superior to people and have a right to rule.
Hipsters and their animal hats are the ultimate manifestation of Progressive rudeness.
