Why do conservatives hate liberals?
I mean, I'm a liberal and I don't hate conservatives. I might disagree with them but I don't hate them. Conservatives seem to think that liberals are ruining this country. They have made this claim countless times, but I cannot recall a single time a liberal has accused a conservative of ruining America. They also are more aggressive in their campaign ads. They accuse Obama of being a socialist (which isn't really that bad) and make ties to Nazism and Communism that don't even exist. Hell, some have even gone so far as to label him the "Anti-Christ". Conservative attack ads are little more than character assassinations and hate-speech, while liberal attack ads focus on their opponents policies. My question is this: why do conservatives hate liberals?
For our Liberal friends and well some conservatives out there...?
interesting answers but then we have 7 more years, some have illuded i may be republican , so for the record i voted for Obama. why? simple his "constituatints" spent to 2008 telling me how great thier party was and how the were flawless and never ever had done anything wrong. well democrats i say this as may of these people that pop up i will call it out It is my sole purpose in life for the next 8 years to make people such as obama bot thx understand that the real enemy of the american people is thier parties both democratic and republican. both democrats and republicans voted for the failed war. and the flushed trillion dollars. as far as im concerned republican s AND democrats did more damage to america from 2000-2008 than al quieda could have done with an entire airport of planes.
Do you live a conservative or liberal lifestyle?
You may not know what I mean by this question so ill help you out by giving some examples. I am a very liberal person "politcally that is". I voted for obama, I am a lifelong democrat, lover of michael moore movies, and the list goes on. However, if you judged me by how I live you would think I was pretty conservative. I dont spend money on almost anything. I make 50 grand a year and mabie spend 20 of it. I live alone in a studio apartment. I dont have any tattoos or piercings, never did drugs, i dont drink, i do charity work on sundays with local churchs, i go to sleep by 9 pm and the list goes on. id consider my lifestyle pretty conservative atleast for california standards. Yet i know many conservative voters who are around my age (in their 20's) who smoke pot, drink all night, have sex with tons of women, cheat on their wives, have tattos, piercings, listen to the most terrible music you can think of, are non religious, and the list goes on. Id consider that a liberal lifestyle. So what are you
Do you think conservative operators are using Quora to test what anti-Obama/democrat/liberal attack will gain traction among a troublesome demographic?
Did you know that President Obama is on quora? It's probably one of his people though. He's too busy solving the problems of the world to post on quora. I haven't come across anyone on quora, on the right or left, who seemed like a political operative. (Licensed to shill.) It doesn't seem like it would be a very good use of time. For one thing, how would you gauge whether something is gaining traction?
Why are people so obsessed with being conservative or liberal?
Those things aren't just labels. They are belief systems. Heart felt philosophies of right and wrong, moral and immoral, fair and unfair. What works and doesn't work. Most people who have a strong sense of what they believe are usually willing to fight for it. Here is the thing I love about America. Liberals HATE George Bush but they are patriotic enough to not try to overthrow the government. Conservatives Hated Bill Clinton but they respected the system enough to not try to have him killed. When Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college and with that, the Presidency... most countries would have rioted in the streets. Americans argued. I think it is great that people disagree at the top of their voices.... yet still allow the "rule of law" to dominate our society. I think Obama and McCain will bring back the respect and dignity you are hoping for. I was proud of McCain yesterday when he apologized for the conservative talk show host's remarks intended to slight Obama. Unfortunately.... their followers will continue to be rude and nasty.
Why do liberals cry racism every time a conservative disagrees with Obama?
I for one am sick and tired of people of low intellect crying racism just because I disagree with the President. I disagreed with Clinton and he is not brown skinned. I disagree with Reid, and he is as Caucasian as it gets. But if I say that Obama is bad for the country, I am called a racist. If I say that ObamaCare is a bad law, I am called a racist. If I call Obama out on his many lies, I am called a racist. Personally, I am ready for all you liberals to take that racism crap and shove it up your rear end. Get a life and discuss issues, not just name calling.
American liberals: Why do so many of you think American conservatives are racist?
Very simple. Go through the last 7.6 years of the Obama presidency and see what conservatives have written about Obama, his wife, and their children. I refuse to reprint what has been said and a simple Google search will yield over one million results.It has been a constant barrage of name calling and racist remarks.Another great clue is that the KKK, the skin heads and the white nationalist groups all actively support Trump and the Republicans and are very excited about him running.Then you have the Trump endorsement of the John Birch Society which speaks volumes.As Timothy Egan of The New York Times reported:From the day he took office, his legitimacy has been challenged, his American birth has been suspect, and he’s been personally insulted, lectured, yelled at and disrespected in public, by public figures, in a way that few if any American presidents have ever faced.Then you have this quote by Sarah Palin:“Obama's Shuck and Jive Ends With Benghazi Lies”“Shucking and jiving” have long been words used as a negative assessment of African Americans, along the lines of a “foot shufflin’ Negro.” In fact, I don’t recall ever hearing the phrase used in reference to anyone white.In October 2012, Colin Powell’s former chief of staff Col. Lawrence Wilkerson publicly stated that the Republican Party is “full of racists” who only want President Obama out of office because of “the color of his skin.”In an interview with Ed Schultz, Wilkerson stated:Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander in chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that’s despicable.
