Why do conservatives want to kill everything?

(I'm assuming the question about conservatives is merely an example of the type of speech you are really asking about.)\n\nIt's because reasoned political discourse is rare in our society.  Intelligent debate has long ago been drowned out by name-calling, sound bites, and invective hurled from both sides of the political spectrum.  When you have the Bill O'Reillys and the Michael Moores casting the other side as traitors, crooks, liars, and hypocrites, is it any wonder that the general populace does the same?  \n\nThere is no willingness to believe that the other side has good intentions, or might have good ideas.  The Right has done a wonderful job turning "Liberal" into a sneer word, while the left increasingly says "Conservative" with a roll-eyed "You know how *they* are" expression.  \n\nSo let me see if I can sum up politics in America as succinctly as I can.  Republicans are evil, authoritative bastards who want to ram Christian living down the nation's throat while simultaneously raping the environment, turning business loose to squeeze every last dime out of the poor man, cutting any aid to the needy, and giving the rich whichever laws they can pay for.  Democrats are evil, tree-hugging socialists who want to spread homosexuality, tax the rich man into oblivion so they can give free money to welfare mothers, burn the flag, have free abortions for all, and they want God dead.  Moderate politicians are those who haven't been entirely bought and paid for yet, while moderate voters are just indecisive wimps who haven't seen that Our Side is superior in every way.  The fringe parties like the Greens and the Constitution Party are just nutballs that don't matter anyway.

Life is more important than things. People should be more powerful than government. Isn't that what you conservatives say you believe in? So put your money (well, your lobbyist's money) where your mouth is.\n\nSomehow, I think I'm not getting the 10 points.

Because they feel that they are the only people who work for a living and have morals.  The reality is that many who preach Conservative values have had mommy and daddy pay for their education, apartments, cars, etc...  They are often raised in families with money and receive large inheritances to help start businesses (ex: Dubbuya) and forget that there are middle and working class folks who bust their backs everyday to pay bills.\nIt's easy for Conservatives to criticize people that are not born with silver spoons in their mouths!\nOn moral values- Rush Limbaugh and viagra, Tom Delay and his fine crew, and Rev Jimmy Swaggart and his sex scandal...  Need I say more!

Because the neocons are interested in staying in power and in control. that includes certain business leaders who benefit from the climate of fear. It is sad because it causes people to alter their life choices do I really want to send my kid to Italy this summer? Should I worry about going to Canada? I wonder if it will be safe flying to Hawaii? That sort of thing. they are counting on continuing the perception that they are the only ones able to keep us safe. They brand anyone who disagrees with them as anitAmerican and/or liberal. At some point they will no longer be able to maintain the level of fear to keep the huddled masses in control. When another political philosophy is in power, there dang well better be investigations into the nonsense of the past five years.

because that is the conservative way........pick an issue that stupid people are passionate about to deflect from the piss-poor job they do with the responsibilities they have

Your question is flawed, you see, conservatives never grow up, they are still whiney, fantasy filled children.

I'm a conservative, and I don't care what anyone else does.  Not at all.  I think we all have to make our own choices and live our own lives.  What bothers me, though, is when all the people who choose to live self-destructive lifestyles - embracing drugs, excessive alcohol, etc. - expect society to bail them out of the messes they get themselves into.  We ALL need to take responsibility for our own actions.

Conservatives:\n\nDefend Bush and his mess in Iraq\n\nDefend sexual predators in their party.\n\nTwist words of Democrats when they are desperate.\n\nAre leaving their own party in droves by now.\n\nThose who stay in the now-stale "Neo-Right" are shameless.\n\nAnd immoral.

That's the great thing about America.  If you're not happy with the way things are, you try to change it.\n\nI wasn't aware that people were expected to leave if they weren't happy with the way things were at the moment.  Wouldn't that be cut and running?\n\nOn a side note, why don't the Conservatives leave if they're so unhappy with the gays, abortion, etc?  My guess would be it's the same reason - they hope to change it.

Ultra-right wingers (not all conservatives) live in the past.  The ideal right-wingnut's world is 1950, with nuclear/military proliferation, women largely stuck at home baking pot roasts and popping out kids, and minorities keeping their place.\n\nThey're also angry hatemongers, always going for the jugular in the most inane, childish fashion.  Look at how popular Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Phyllis Schafly all are with the conservatives.  Combine these two facets and you've got a bunch of sore losers whose only delight is in rehashing old foes, when it's essentially pointless.\n\nMy $.02

You're going to get some real heat over this question. Conservatives will say you are not entitled to your opinions. Whenever a liberal administration takes over, you will see the world will step back from the brink.  I just pray we don't get past the 'tipping point' (see link). \nConservatives care about conservatives, but liberals care about everyone.

Conservatives don't have any more or less interest than anyone else. Religious nuts masquerading as Conservatives are uncomfortable with their own sexual insecurities/inadequacies and, rather than deal with them, try to bring everyone else down to their level so they can feel "normal."\n\nThe fact is that they are not "normal." A fixation or obsession with what's going on in somebody else's pants is a form of perversion in itself.\n\n.
