I’m single and like many people in my generation I’ve decided to join the community of online dating. In my profile I state that I’m politically conservative and I have a couple pictures of me in my BAO shirt along with a picture of me shaking Newt Gingrich’s hand. I put up these photos on purpose to weed out the crazy liberals yet sometimes they just can’t resist showcasing their ignorance. I made the decision a long time ago that I wouldn’t date a liberal. I want to get married and I don’t want my husband’s vote cancelling mine out. I also feel that political beliefs can say a lot about a person’s character and morals.

My experiences with online dating have been entertaining to say the least. Have I met the man of my dreams? No. But I have met some nice guys and I’ve got a good grasp on what I need and want from a man. For the most part I get positive reactions from my photos and admitting that I’m conservative. A lot of men find it refreshing that I’m a woman who is proud of my beliefs and am not afraid to display them. Yet there is still the occasional disrespectful, ignorant, self-righteous liberal who feels the need to belittle and criticize me just by my pictures and the statement that I’m conservative. They don’t take the time to talk to me, they jump to conclusions and buy into the untrue stereotypes that the liberal media has brainwashed them with.

I get emails from liberals periodically but this weekend I received one that takes the cake. Below is an email that I received from lookn4normal75 on plentyoffish.com:

get a clue lady…newt gingrich wants your support ONLY because you can vote…not for that right, he would prefer you uneducated and waiting on hand and knee. obama may not be the solution to every one of the countries problems, but hes done a good job considering what was left him by the previous 8 years resident idiot. im amazed in this day and age that a woman of your age range is supporting the right’s agenda. would i be safe in assuming that your parents combined income is over 100,000 dollars a year? do you not care about the less financially fortunate because everyone knows that all they have to do is just work harder? your daddy has a bit of money doesnt he? and we all know that if YOUR daddy can make a success out of himself than all the rest should too, right? i think you should lock yourself in a room with your fox “news” and not come out. that way you’ll be protected from all the colored, gay, non christian, poor folk.

First of all, this poor schmuck can’t even form proper sentences, most likely the result of teacher’s unions ensuring teachers can’t lose their jobs, therefore driving the quality of education down. His comment about Newt Gingrich makes no sense, ALL politicians want your vote and it’s the liberal policies that keep people uneducated and relying on government assistance through welfare programs. Liberals would rather give away money to keep people relying on them instead of educating them so that they can provide for themselves. This guy’s comments about Obama doing a good job considering the previous administration are just plain ignorant. All you have to do is look at the deficit, Obama has spent more in two years than Bush did in eight, WITH THE WARS! Comparing Bush to Obama is just pointless anymore. Liberals were only able to use that excuse for Obama’s first year. Obama has now carved his own path and his mistakes are his alone, no more blaming Bush! But personal responsibility is something that liberals don’t believe in, they prefer to blame someone else and make someone else pay for their mistakes. I’m amazed that in this day and age a 35 year old man is still supporting Obama! Wait, he’s not a MAN, he’s a guy. A man wouldn’t have jumped to conclusions and made such a pathetic attempt to rip apart someone else’s views. Now, a little about me since this guy’s assumptions are so backwards. My parents divorced when I was about 3 years old. My dad was never a part of my life, in fact, he’s an alcoholic who relies on government assistance to get by. This is a reason why I’m so against welfare programs. Welfare has enabled his alcoholism; why is my dad (or anyone else for that matter) going to clean up and get a job when he can collect free money and drink his day away? “and we all know that if YOUR daddy can make a success out of himself than all the rest should too, right?” No, if I can support myself and my daughter with only a high school education and without government assistance, so should everyone else. This guy is so brainwashed that he can’t even tell the difference between right and wrong: WRONG-taking from someone who earned their money to give to someone who doesn’t want to work. RIGHT- working to provide for your own family without relying on someone else. This guys is trying to twist right and wrong by saying “do you not care about the less financially fortunate because everyone knows that all they have to do is just work harder?” The United States government is NOT a charity. If someone falls on hard times they should turn to family, friends or a private charity, and only temporarily. Most people who start collecting government money will stay on as long as possible, draining the system, because that’s easier than getting a job. Finally, the last comment he makes about locking myself in a room with Fox news is yet another example of how he obviously isn’t thinking for himself and is buying into untrue stereotypes. My daughter is part black, her dad is half, so no need to protect me from the ‘colored’ folk. One of my friends/coworkers is gay, we’ve even gone on vacation together, guess I don’t need protection from the gays either. I don’t go to church and most of my friends don’t either, guess I don’t need protection from the non-christians. I consider myself poor, I live paycheck to paycheck to support myself and my daughter. We live modestly and I don’t even have the luxury of a TV in my living room, I guess I don’t need protection from the poor folk.

I go against everything that liberals think a Conservative/Republican is. A Conservative isn’t someone with a lot of money, someone who is Christian and white. A Conservative is someone with common sense and doesn’t confuse compassion with personal responsibility. Conservatives strive to do what’s right and are not afraid to tell big government NO even when it’s not the popular way to go. Conservatives/Republicans are also the most compassionate people and the biggest donors to private charities. I’m proud to be conservative and I will patiently weed through the liberals until I find the conservative man of my dreams.
