One, I'm not a "conservative sypathiser".  Two, you have already played your hand by identifying yourself with a majority which MUST mean that you are a Democrat or mistakenly believe that our country is a democracy.  Is your reliance on the "majority" necessary for you to formulate and justify your questions?\nThree, by placing restrictions on and making pre-judgements regarding the "truth" of Iraq, you show yourself to be intellectually dishonest.  \n\nHere are your three things, for what little regard you will pay to them:\n\nExempted food from unilateral trade sanctions and embargoes. \n\nSigned the LARGEST nuclear arms reduction in world history with Russia. \n\nCommitted US funds to purchase medicine for millions of men and women and children now suffering with AIDS in Africa\n\nFor the record, I am not a Republican.  I am a Libertarian.

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!

I suppose it is ignorance or the lack of understanding of what the majority of Americans want for America. I've never seen a Liberal desire anything for all of America, unless it benefited them personally.  And I've never seen a Liberal seek anything that was morally wholesome and/or correct.\n\nSometimes we do not listen to the truth, because we don't want to hear it. Liberals and Democrats do not want our Conservative Republican President to succeed... (which not only makes our president look bad, but it makes America look bad.)\nand because of this, they bash the president, make up stuff...and spin their time stretching or changing the truth.\n\nMost answers to questions on this site, made by them, are "reportable" because they cannot argue their points without cursing or talking dirty. Very few appear educated, most are miss-informed, and all appear to have tunnel vision. (DESTROY and DISCREDIT the President and Republicans.)\n\nI never hear any positive directions or new ideas to help and support America. Just negativity from the left....\n\nBut then TRUTH is always a challenge to discredit.... maybe they just like a challenge!

Because conservatives are really good at making anyone who doesn't agree with the politicians look "unamerican" (like that actually means anything) or against the troops, and so on.

I have to agree with you BUT, the NEOCONS, don't call them selves neocons, they call them selves Conservative. I do not think in any sense of the word 75% of normal republicans from pre Bush days agree with that. Most of them are normal caring people who were Republicans because they believed in small government, financial responsibility and less interference from the government who are very disillusioned right now I just feel the present Administration of Neocons teach this what you list, They target uneducated, unhappy and unguided people and tell them the liberals are why they are so unhappy, and because they are so misguided and unhappy to begin with they believe them. Look at all the blanket hate messages you see against anyone against Bush, its sad, people need to look at this as a right vs wrong thing, not a us vs them thing. Its just sad to see our own TV teaching us hate, how many times do you see the term liberal used in a negative way, on TV, was NEVER like this till Bush and the Neocons got here and sad to say so many closed minded ignorant people who follow blindly  No wonder why many people think were ugly americans. Just wish people would look at facts and whats right or wrong instead of sides no matter what

There's nothing particularly "bad" about either one, it's just that some individuals see things more in "black" or "white" than others, which would put them on one end of the spectrum or the other as far as politics.  The irony of the matter though is the answer to a lot of issues that "conservatives" and "liberals" often fight over is often in the middle of all this clamoring.  In the end, this is part of what makes America great...the fact that you CAN have any opinion you want about anything, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you are on.  There are many other nations around the world that having an opinion outside of the majority or what is in the government's interest isn't even a remote thought in the minds of the people.  I'm thankful to be here whether I agree with everyone about everything or not.

You're right, there's a great deal of immaturity involved.  Basically, so-called "conservatives" are pusillanimous little people who hate, fear, and resent anyone who is different from themselves and have a pathological need to destroy them.

I believe you!  But then, I'm not very conservative :-P\n\nWhat many conservatives seem not to get (or do get but ignore) is that if you love your country, you want what's best for it.  And if that means some things have to change, then so be it.\n\nSupporting a war you feel is necessary or productive is patriotic, but so is opposing one you feel is fundimentally bad for our country.  Supporting a good president is patriotic, but so is opposing a bad one.  Patriotism isn't about unconditional support for everything our government does, it's about wanting, and fighting for what you believe is best for your country.

Do all conservatives truly believe they're holier than thou?\n\nGod forbid there be an opposing viewpoint to ANYTHING, because we all know there is only ever one definative answer or ideology to address any given issue.

Give me some proof that Conservatives are smarter and I'll listen.\nHowever, Liberals (and I speak from experience) think they're smarter because they have some pre-conceived idea that Conservatives are, well, conservative. As in, stuck in the fifties. And Liberals, being stuck in the seventies, are obviously more advanced.\n\nLol!

It would be nice, but, unfortunately, the average voting American is ignorant of the facts. Politicians use emotion to get people to back a bad idea, and most people just aren't smart enough to figure out the truth on their own.\n\nThey use silly names like "The Fairness Doctrine" which was anything but fair. If you don't know what that was, look it up. Thank God it went away. However, I expect the Democrats to bring it back in order to silence the conservative viewpoint.

The word Liberal and Conservative don't mean SHIT! The assholes that like to lable themselves conservatives are usually rich sons of bitches or the mindless minons that believe the bullshit they shovel.\n\nFor the most part the conservatives who label people liberal are usually a bunch of freaks and weridos who are equally rich political lap dogs of the wealthly who are using the equally blind for support to get elected. These people also don't do shit for the people. \n\nThe words liberal and conservative don't fit the true definition of the word(s). \n\nLiberate, to set free\nConservation, to protect, or not waste\n\nIt all a bunch of bull shit and if you use these words to label yourself or lable someone else you're an idiot and a minon of the mass media. \n\nFor the most part I agree with you that the so called "conservatives" seem to be are card carrying members of the NRA and enjoy NASCAR. (Right Wing minons)\n\nAnd the so called liberals are a bunch of wanabe hippies.

I cannot answer for MOST Americans.  I don't really care where someone is from, just how honorable, nice, dependable, and honest they are.

I am a liberal.\n\nDo I hate America? Of course not! I love America, probably more than Conservatives do. I love the ideals of the Declaration of Independence where it states that all men are endowed with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I cherish the Constitutional notions of checks and balances. I worship the freedoms laid out in the Bill of Rights. I take seriously the welcoming call of the Statue of Liberty to give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.\n\nWhat Conservatives see as "hate" would be more properly described as "disappointment". I am disappointed when our leaders and our nation stray from these sacred American ideals. If there is any hate, it is not for America or Americans, it is for the leadership that betrays America.\n\nIf you love something or someone, then you are particularly concerned when that something or someone turns out to be broken or sick. When your child has a fever, you don't waste time bragging to everyone that he's an honor student, you take him to the doctor. And you don't accuse the doctor of hating your child when he points out that he has an infection. You thank the doctor, you get the prescription antibiotics, and you work hard to heal your child.\n\nFurthermore, you aren't "blaming the child first" by noticing that the child is sick. There's nothing wrong with pointing out America's problems. If you can't identify the problems, you can't begin to solve them. When America has done something wrong, however, I'm more than happy to blame America first. For example, America illegally invaded, occupied, and tortured the people of a sovereign nation that was no threat to us. Who am I supposed to blame for that, France?\n\nIf I see a friend doing something that could hurt him, I don't cheer him on and tell him he's doing the right thing. Admittedly, that would be the easiest (or most amusing, in a sick kind of way) thing to do. The harder—and more responsible—approach is to warn my friend of the dangers of his actions. It might piss him off, but I have to be willing to take that chance.\n\n\nThe danger of all these displays of false patriotism is that they emphasize "American Pride" over any attempt to find solutions to our nation's problems. Those who point out flaws in our way of life do so because they want to see our country live up to the promise of democracy laid out in our Constitution.

because the conservatives in congress are so busy getting rid of all that "liberal" stuff (like housing, funding, jobs, education, breaks, food, businesses, etc etc) in regards to legitimate citizens, they simply haven't had time to take it away from the foreigners.  \n\nUltimately no individual will have any help of any kind from the government, and we will all be happy as cogs in the corporate wheel.

First, it seems that many of you are taking the "conservative viewpoint" to heart - I don't think that it means each and every single person who might align themself with the conservative thinking just as one can't make a generalization about each and every single liberal.  While I can't be sure of the actual intent of the question, it doesn't sound like it is implying that EVERY SINGLE PERSON who calls themself conservative believes that.  \n\nIt seems that in the same way conservatives are misunderstood, so are liberals, and socialists, and marxists, and moderates, etc.  \n\nSecond, Heidi 4, "you want everything to be given to you" is a huge assumption, I would say.  Clearly nothing comes for free, ESPECIALLY in the United States, but does that mean that we, as a nation, can't figure out a way to provide at least basic healthcare for all at a reasonable cost (to all), or stop depending on oil so heavily?  A few European countries have amazing universal health for hardly the cost that we pay for an uninsured hospital visit.  Technology to decrease our dependence on oil has been invented but is being held back from the public...but why?\n\nThirdly, a few mentioned dedicating your life to service.  How unoriginal.  Love thy neighbor doesn't mean dedicate your life to servitude but to give respect to all - whether you agree with them or not, everyone is a human being with thoughts and feelings and opinions and different life experiences.  \n\nFinally, concerning "deplete and destroy what was divinely given to humans" is actually a very interesting point.  This can be pinned to everyone regardless of religious affiliation but it does seem the most contradictory for those who do believe that god created all.  It's a slap in the face saying, "You gave it all to us and you gave us brains-  ha ha ha- we sure can't take care of it because we all want money which is something that humans invented, not you!  Ha- you sure misjudged us."  Well put.
