As a conservative, I am offended
I was flipping through the stations when I came across this documentary. The blurb said something like "Filmmaker Pelosi travels America to meet Conservative Americans". So, I thought it would be an interesting piece on the state of the American conservative. However, what I got was a bunch of drunk, crying rednecks bemoaning the loss of white power. Simply put, this documentary was absolute garbage.
ALERT ALERT - these people are not "conservatives". Conservatives have an actual moral, philosophical, and intellectual compass to which we form our beliefs. These people are soundbyte parrots. They take catch phrases from Rush and attempt to use them in defense of their bigotry, racism, sexism, etc., etc.
Most of these people represented are the fringe of a shattered Republican party. Most of these people interviewed are an embarrassment to our country and species. I do not deny that they are Republicans, but they are not as the blurb described "conservatives". They are the reasons I have left the Republican party.
I would expect nothing less from Pelosi to warp the image of the intellectual movement on the right. It is a struggle to stay out of the looming shadow of these idiots and garbage like this does not help.
But seriously folks, do not be fooled to think that these people are the "American right" or "conservatives".
