Lasermouse:  Sorry, I'm with you but I HAVE to answer this question.\n\nMy son will be born in August...and he is my son.  I don't care if he's straight or gay.  I don't care if he wants to wear pants or dresses.  I don't care if he wants to be a doctor or a clown.\n\nI love my son.  I want him to be happy.  THAT'S my objective.  Not for him to live the life that I prefer...I want him to life the life that HE prefers, and I'll back him up 100%

Conservatives, in general. I am fearful that more people will believe their terrible sick spin on things. I grew up believing that you go to work, PAY YOUR TAXES, and everything would take care of itself. It is americas shame not to help its own people and throw 400 billion into a bad war that shouldn't have never been.

On the conservative side it would cost a minimum of $700 billion dollars taking into account death benefits and health care cost. If you wish to include the lucky ones who escape from being maimed or dead then the above amount I cited is but peanuts.

Remy-there are very FEW conservatives in power now. Neocons yes, not real conservatives. But your question does not address whether you mean government conservatives or the populace. Really the answer is no to both. Conservatives (real ones) are now considered divisive, intolerant and xenophobes. They (like for example conspiracy theorists, ring a bell?) are against globalism and loss of national identity.  They could be contributing to the destruction of America by backing down, giving up and capitulating to the powers that be. Your thoughts?

If I was married to a liberal democrat, I would be headed for divorce ever so quickly. Probably me divorcing him. :-)\nP.S. Always love your questions !!!!

That's a tough one.  To answer it correctly, we'd have to collect a whole bunch of stupid people and question their motives.  When are you available?

I see you adopted the maturity of others, "repug's"\nI guess the question is "do republicans follow blindly?"  I'd say no, there are issues that I disagree with republicans, gun control environmental policy, but they are coming around on the latter.  But they do represent me better than quasi-socialists, I mean liberals.  So there's my vote.\nPerhaps you can turn the question around and ask do liberals follow the platform in a dogmatic fashion?  I very rarely see a challenge from liberals on liberal position.  And some of their positions defy any reason.  There's blind faith.

Conservatives do. Liberals are currently filing lawsuits to have the word "god" removed from your question.

H-I-B Brilliant man! These simple questions for simpletons, may be too much for them to absorb all at once. It's real hard to decide if it was once, or maybe twice. That is what BI-LESBIANS say about not being a Lesbian. I was BI curious, or maybe SEMI-BI-LESBIAN. So how many HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS concluded that you are a HOMOSEXUAL? My example of NEO_CONSERVATIVE dialog, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! The crying "RIGHT" can't stand up for themselves, and now have to "CRY" to the left for support. BOOO-FUUUUKIN_HOO. My man here is completely right about the semis-ism, so stand up and take your knocks, it's your turn in the barrel. Vote out the TYRANTS in NOVEMBER, free America!

We define "freedom" very differently.  Obviously, since you are a liberal, you cannot conceive of how your rhetoric affects conservatives.\n\nVice versa.\n\nDifference is, I don't care.

Yes, there is a huge contradiction. It appears to me that conservatives want the government to regulate everyone else's private lives. i.e. private acts between consenting adults. The conservatives don't want government regulating how much a business can rip someone off or how much they can pollute the environment.

Hah! That's funny...whew independent thinking. \n\nWell, that is really the meaning and idea of being a conservative. Adopting set ideas that don't change and are not open for debate. It comes natural to them.\n\nAny intellectual capacity they do have is not used for discovery and introspection but to establish an arguable defense for their staid ideas.

seems to be what the majority of conservatives think...

Well, I agree with what you have said. \n\nI look forward to a response from someone who considers themselves Liberal to address each of your points, not just one. Two responders never addressed any. Unfortunately that is what tends to happen most of the time when you ask them direct questions.  \n\nThis is the perfect opportunity for them to explain their viewpoints.

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.
