Do Conservatives respection the opinion of Kissinger?
830441
Henry Kissinger is a Republican that finally told the truth.\n\nThe Iraq war is unwinnable, unless serious changes are made. The Iraqi people don't like being occupied, and though they are happy Saddam is gone....they don't love Americans either.\n\nThe USA needs to make some serious choices ASAP.

Yes, but then how do we know that Henry Kissingers isn't old and out dated ?

Saying Fox News is "fair and balanced" is like saying George Bush is a "compassionate conservative".\n\nYou don't have to prove that you are "fair and balanced", you don't have to prove that you are "compassionate". These "qualities" are meant to influence what people think your motives are. But you cannot prove what someone's or some industry's real motives are, that is why emphasizing motives that are actually the opposite of one's true motives is so effective at masking the truth. \n\nGenerally, when right wingers emphasize their "motives" in this manner -- whether it be to "liberate" Iraq, when in reality it is to control/conquer Iraq, whether it be "compassionate" when they are really vengeful, whether it be "moral" when they are really corrupt, whether it be "fair to all Americans" when they really favor the rich minority -- I assume their true motives is just the opposite, even if they are not themselves aware of this.

YES . \n Most of these people supporting this war are incurably indoctrinated.\nThis war could easily been avoided entirely.\nThere was no justification for this neo conservative misadventure.

I think Americans get along with each other rather well compared to some developing countries.  This country needs both liberals and conservatives to keep both extremes honest and moderated.  Neither extreme is right all the time.

I would assume that you are conservative in cognitive belief, but the results of your actions appear to be liberal.

I used to be one of those thinking conservatives. I'm embarrassed to admit I was a Republican for most of my adult life. But with age, comes wisdom (for some of us).\nI turned my back on the Republican party about two years into the Clinton presidency. I got disgusted with the attempts to get Clinton out of office with one so-called "scandal", after another. When one thing didn't work, they went on to the next...for the entire eight years.\nIt's a wonder the man managed to get ANY thing done. Including a "bj".\nAnd yet, get things done, he did. I came to greatly admire the man for persevering those eight years.\nSo, yes. This former thinking conservative got tired of it a long time ago.

A conservative one, yes.

I think most people do.  I'm fairly liberal in most respects, but the Bush folks' lies convinced me in the run-up to the Iraq war it might be justified.  I'm in favor of social programs, but I don't particularly like taxes.  I'm pro-choice, but I understand the moral dilemma abortion raises.  \n\nThe real problem is that both liberals and conservatives have used their political positions as a way to react to issues in knee-jerk brainless types of ways.  We need to stop seeing the world through the lens of conservative and liberal and instead start trying to construct genuine solutions to the problems of our world.  Instead of using ideology to see the world, we need to use rationality.

It is always ok to not stand behind your leader in a free society.  I completely reject the notion that the president automatically deserves my respect.  First of all, the president of a free society is no more and no less a citizen of that country than I am- in other words, we are all equal.  Second, it seems that the people I hear saying that it is unpatriotic to not back the president no matter what are mostly conservatives, and they only say it when their guy is in charge; when it's the other guy anything goes.  Don't tell me I have to respect your guy because you say so, and then come up with all kinds of rationalizations when you bad-mouth my guy.  What's good for the goose is good for the gander.  \n\nHow surprising- there's already an answer from the hate-Clinton crowd.   That's right- lying about sex is so much worse than lying about reasons to go to war.

Government leaders should not be held to piublioc opinion, but the should consider it.  There was a percentage of people thatg oppossed George Wahington during the Revolutionary war.  The same was true zbout Abe Lincoln and the Civil War.  Harry Truman's approval rating were low after he dropped the atomic bomb.  Often, our govenment leaders and members of the administration have more knowledge about incidents than the common man. Express yourself at the voting booth.

Bush is no conservative in the way Barry Goldwater or Eisenhower were. I did not think much of Reagan but even he was better, hell for that matter Nixon was better and never did I think I would be saying this.

Popular opinion is in favor of more action instead of less action, ergo being "Liberal" in any usage of the word is popularly "wrong."  Here's how it works out...\n\nWhat do you want and how do you intend to get it?\n\nLiberals have problems coming up with actionable answers, particularly for the second question.  As a result, it often looks like liberals aren't doing much of anything such that their sexual activities become as important as their political ambitions.  There's just nothing else significant enough to talk about.\n\nConservatives have problems coming up with sensible answers, particularly for the second question.  As a result, it often looks like conservatives are doing the wrong things -- such as military deployments without exit criteria or cutting taxes while trying to fund those military deployments -- but claim that their actions are proof of their strong leadership.  After all, doing things the right and sensible way with a plan that is consistent to the principles they would normally claim to believe in would take longer and the time to act -- ever since 9/11/01, anyway, ignoring certain pesky natural disasters -- is always Right Now.

Yes, there a conservative scientists as well.  Not surprising, there are also apolitical scientists that just want to focus on science.

NO!\n I can not honestly say I respect the intelligence of someone who votes Republican. I can just not fathom what kind of person it takes to keep voting Republican even with all the BS Bush and his adminstration has pulled in the last 6 years.\n I can be fake nice very well,but I will not respect the opinions of people who are causing the downfall of this great country with their blind loyal faith to our President.
