I am still waiting for the episode of myth busters debunking “Republican fiscal conservatism”.

Raise your hand if you have heard a friend say: “I am socially liberal and disapprove of GOP’s platform on the social issues, but I am voting for Republicans because GOP’s fiscal conservatism is very important to me.”

I have heard that hundreds of times.

I cannot. I just cannot wait anymore. When will they broadcast the episode of myth busters debunking the illusion called GOP’s fiscal conservatism? Ok, I get it. It sounds really nice to spend wisely, deregulate, and let the magic happen organically. But if Republican fiscal conservatism’s success really exists, why can we not come up with examples of that success? Just because Republicans define themselves as “fiscal conservatives” does not mean that they in fact are fiscal conservatives. How so? Read on.

FOX News recently posted an article titled “History Shows Stocks, GDP Outperform Under Democrats.” In that article they mentioned something really interesting that I have been talking about over and over again. The article said “Every Republican president since Warren Harding (1921–1923) has experienced a recession within the first two years of office.”

I’m sorry, but you didn’t build that alone.

“Long hours and hard work helped Joey Vento build a landmark restaurant in Philadelphia from the ground up, but that work ethic may have also sent him to an early grave.

That’s why Eileen Vento’s blood boiled when she heard President Obama declare last week that small business owners like her husband owed others for their success.

“That is ridiculous. My husband had $6 in his pocket when he started.” Vento said to FoxNews.com about Joey Vento, who opened Geno’s Steaks in 1966 in the neighborhood of South Philly.”

This is the beginning of a usually dramatic article from FOX News. The rest of this emotional Mitt Romney campaign case be read here.

Conservative myth of tax and spend liberals.

Courtesy of Ethical Reporters Against Faux News | facebook.com/erafn

It has been like this for generations. Liberals have been committed to inventing, creating, and implementing change and conservatives fighting them on every step of the way as a party of the status quo. The soul of liberalism is embedded in hope that through organized change we can offer our children a better world. Conservatism on the other hand is triggered by only fear to maintain the world as it is today so our children do not have to live in the world that may be worse than what we already have.

Talk to a conservative, he will tell you how amazing the world was in his grandparents’ time. Speak to a liberal, he will tell you how far we have come now that women can vote, gays can get married, and that interracial marriages are legalized.  Conservatives long for yesterday, liberals believe that yesterday is over but the future is their’s to change.
