1. Being wrong doesn't make someone...
"evil".

I agree with Hartman.

15. And being conservative is not necessarily "wrong."
I mean, seriously! If I had to label myself (which I am loathe to do) it would be "progressive." But my definition of progressive most likely diverges from others. Are all liberals 100% right? It's not that cut-and-dried! I have heard that Nixon was actually a socially liberal president while Carter was considered fiscally conservative.

3. Thom is one of those that pretend that because folks are family, friends, and neighbors that they
can't actually be dumpsterfucks but he is wrong.

Not much difference between evil and supporting it.

10. Saints are typically stoned or burned at the stake
I like Thom a lot, but he is VERY naive.

5. This has been Thom's position for as long as I can remember
I prefer to call them evil after they do evil things. But until then they are just wrong.

7. Not actually evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a
Oh wait, that's Vogons, it is easy to confuse them:

Here is what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon: forget it. They are one of the most unpleasant races in the Galaxy. Not actually evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. The best way to get a drink out of a Vogon is to stick your finger down his throat, and the best way to irritate him is to feed his grandmother to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. On no account should you allow a Vogon to read poetry at you.

11. And?
Liberal = Good and Conservative = Bad is about as simplistic a worldview as one can have.

16. Half of my family and friends are conservatives
They aren't evil. Maybe misguided. Maybe not thinking things through completely. Maybe even a bit deluded. Not evil though.
