Why are liberals constantly wrong about their major decisions and policies?

Good argument, they are just plain stupid.  I don't understand it either, and it is no use arguing with them because they never have anything to support their comments.

I think it's because young people are used to having someone else do for them and they haven't had enough life experiences to weigh against what they've been taught in school by their left-leaning teachers and professors. I have found that the "FACTS" do not support many things that I was taught in school. Liberals have misused this mechanism of learning by chanting over and over as fact things that are simply untrue.

Because liberals have so much love to give to everybody. They're sort of like Michael Jackson, in that they try to give it to the wrong people. So well intentioned, yet so misunderstood.\n\nWhere as conservatives rely too much on rational thinking to form opinions. Curse this brain of mine! Curse it!

The problem is that-regardless of what the claim-liberals are all about individuals. They care only about issues that relate to them and what is in the best interest of them and them alone.  While we like to see the whole country flourish, and not just sit around and complain about how hard we have it.  Your points will never get across to them because they don't understand what it means to sacrifice your own benefits-and your own life-for what you believe in.\n\nIn response to EVILEMPIRE's statement:  That seems to be another problem with liberals, they feel that if you don't question every single thing, you are a "thoughtless drone".  There's nothing wrong with sometimes questioning government, it's what the country was founded on but, just because you agree with things that the governement does that doesn't make you a complete moron or a "thoughtless drone."  If you really wanted to go that route I could say the same about liberals who believe everything the Communist News Network throws at them.

no, it's just that liberals have so much in their party to deal with, by that i mean sub-divided special interest groups, and have no focus. it is obvious when you ask them about a plan to get out of iraq. while the president says" stay the course" over and over the democrats say " we need to change course". over and over with no clear alternative to bush. multiply this by 1000 and " thar ye gowe". lack of focus.

I think you hit the nail on the head here.  Sadly, most people (politicians and voters alike), believe the opposition is moronic, evil, or simply wrong.  We can't seem to listen respectfully, and hear an idea out, without noticing it came from the other side.  \nI personally believe that both liberals and conservatives want what is best for America, for the most part.  They are just at odds about what is best.

I honestly think liberals in general think government should be there to protect the weakest among us. While that is a noble goal, I think we can see from example that it rarely works out that way.  A good example is the so-called "Great Society".  Here we are in 2006, and poverty is still as big an issue as it was in the 1960's.  We could have handed every poor person in the country a check for a million dollars and spent less than the trillions of dollars we've wasted on failed government social programs.

The answer is in the question, "Liberalsuck". \n\nLiberals are, generally, uneducated (though there are a few in acedemia who are edeucated beyond their intellectual capacity) and ignorant. They also base much on feelings, rather than on simple, hard logic. \n\nSince libs are generally uninformed (though they seem to think they are BETTER informed than we conservatives), there is little else they can do than to throw unimaginative insults and profanities... It's sad really.

Because liberals, like most people, are ignorant when it comes their own political ideology. I believe a lot of liberals haven't really thought about their positions hard enough to see the inconsistency. \n\nThey don't like the idea of the government telling them who they can sleep with, but they have no problem with the government telling them who they can do business with, and under what terms. They don't like paying to promote certain religious positions with tax dollars, but don't see anything wrong with tax dollars going to support certain cultural or artistic positions (i.e. art subsidies).\n\nThough tangerine is partly right; conservatives are just as guilty of being hypocrites. You can't really argue that the state must regulate our behavior to make us "moral", but that it shouldn't regulate our behavior to make us "fair."

because they are liberals !!!!! duh !

Because they are afraid... they know that they have two years to try to convince America that being conservative is wrong, and are afraid its not going to happen... because most people know the truth.\n\nThe truth is of course that what Answerman said is wrong, either through ignorance or he wants to change the facts.  He linked conservatives with NAZI Germany.  Heads up kids, Hitler was a socialist... that's right, a liberal.  It the the liberal, democratic president FDR who had dealings with NAZI Germany.\n\nThe term Neo-Con is in flux, it doesn't have much of a meaning yet.  It is used interchangeable to describe the far right and the right leaning moderates.  If you want to frustrate a liberal when they use it ask what it means.  They get that deer in the headlights look every time.\n\nNote to BrianW_28:  I must have been typing when your answer popped up, I didn't see it.  Congratulations on being one of the few libs around here who can not only spell but use coherent sentences AND string them together to convey coherent thoughts.

Because they are thoughtless and careless.  They could, if they wanted, attack liberals on the issues, in a coherent and cordial way.  But it is always so much easier to dismiss one's political opponents as inherently stupid.  The tragedy for conservatives is that it is an undeniable fact that the vast majority of scientists are indeed liberals.  They can dismiss the social sciences as garbage (they are not, but conservatives are very dismissive, anyway), and they can dismiss the humanities as useless, but they cannot dismiss science.  They can say stupid things like "those who can't do, teach", but it is laughable to imply that scientists working in Academia are not "doing".  Virtually *all* Nobel prize winners are academics.  The overwhelming majority of progress in basic science research comes from the hallways of Academia, indeed, and not the industrial sector, and even in the industrial sector, scientists are still liberals.  It is just embarrassing to them that science is in the hands of liberals, and there's nothing they can do about it, except invent silly phrases like "junk science", uttered by incompetent hacks to dismiss the expertise of the entire relevant community at specific points in time.  They should be ashamed of themselves, frankly.\n\n------------------------\n\nFreetyme: You have to be quite smart to win a Nobel prize, to attain fame as a researcher in the basic sciences, to publish in scientific journals, etc.  Basic scientific research happens in universities, freetyme, not in industry.  And besides, American universities are the best in the world.  A PhD in mathematics or physics from Harvard, MIT, Berkeley, Princeton, Yale, Chicago, is significantly more respected than one from just about any European or Japanese university--Paris excepted.\n\nProgress in the sciences occurs thanks to the people you are dismissing as intellectually inferior.  You mustn't be very smart.  Oh, and who do you think writes the textbooks that all those academics read before 'mindlessly repeating them during class.'

You know I have always wondered why Repuglicans can say being liberal is a bad thing. It really isn't, we think before we act, we explore new ideas, and we care about the human race.

One cannot explain liberal stupidity. You just have to accept the fact that they are and move on. You cannot argue with a liberal because they always think they are right and will not hear any opposing views. Liberals pretend to be open minded but in reality, they are the most close minded people on the planet because they will not accept any other way  or ideas but their own.
