Because we are grownups who take responsibility for our own emotions and the consequences of our actions - we don't hide behind the alleged shortcomings of others, we don't sanctimoniously put little halos on our heads "look at me I'm not a racist like those bad people over there". We don't manipulate people to support us by using slander and libel against others. We're not so unbelievably rude as to discuss what other people pay in taxes, how much they earn; we don't presume to know what motivates others. We mind our own business. We don't make phony apologies for things we aren't responsible for, just to score political points. Take it or leave it, we are going to give you the straight story. If you are fucking up big time, you are too dependent on government, you are failing to live up to your obligations, yeah, we are going to put it to you. Straighten up and quit laying your shit off on someone else. In short, we are the opposite of liberal. We are honest and we have integrity.
