Why are conservatives so forgiving of their heros?

I'm a conservative, and not only do I not care for O'Reilly, Bakker, or Falwell in the least, I'm not a big fan of Rush or Newt, either. They are not 'heroes' in any sense of the word, IMO, and never have been.\n\nIt's too bad they're all immoral and impure, unlike the Christ-like Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Gary Condit, William Jefferson, Alcee Hastings, etc.

Don't fall for the standard Liberal crap. They are nothing but COWARDS! They don't have the manhood to stand up for what they claim to believe, so they get on TV and try to make everyoneelse feel guilty. This way they get others to do it and then they sit back and take the credit.\n\nYes, I said they are COWARDS!! George Clooney wouldn't fight to save the life of a family member. He would try to find a reporter and do a broadcast. This way someone would save his family member and he would brag that he saved him.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I'm not saying the Libs like Clooney have a YELLOW STREAK. I'm saying they are YELLOW from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet.\n\nThe way I look at it is, if he is so comitted to the cause, then put on some Camo's and get a rifle and get his sorry butt over their and start fighting for them.

Because you are above debasing yourself to that low of a level.  Why treat with common, small-minded people if you don't have to?  Just let them spout-off about their inconsequential droll meanderings, smile, and excuse yourself from the conversations.\n\nConsequently, most of them are probably not real conservatives.  Real conservatives are extremely upset by the current course of the country and have nothing but contempt for the sitting administration.  These are more then likely Neo-Conservatives or Fundamentalists out to talk themselves into believing their own wasteful messages.

No they will blame the Democrats for being cowards. Cowardace always makes the bullies stronger and meaner.

My Christian upbringing tells me to have compassion for those less fortunate, to help the poor and the needy, to give and share for the benefit of all, to love my neighbor, to turn my back on hate and violence, and to put my fellow man (and woman) above material wealth.\n\nThe liberals, even the ones who are atheists, espouse the Christian teachings and the examples of Jesus we're supposed to follow more than conservatives.

This is what I find most amazing about the people who back these guys. Most would never dream of fighting for their country. My father fought bravely in WWII and this drives him crazy. He wouldn't be what they call a liberal. Wait - I guess they would if he disagreed with anything they say. I saw a video of Bush down in Georgia trashing a decorated Vet (I think it was Cleland). Bush avoided the war like the plague. Then they have the unbelievable nerve to try to label who the patriots are. Truly sickening. Now I'm getting pissed again.\nDon't even mention Carl Rove. That guy has done more damage to this country than anyone I can think of. He has damaged the political process for years to come. Any real patriot should punch him in the face. Okay I'm a little pissed.\nIf you actually dig into how these slime balls operate you just get sick to think anyone would have the sightest respect for this administration. Do some research on these smear campaigns. Be open minded when you do.

Ditto.  Some conservatives are so angry at me I just half to laugh\n\n\nAlso.Look at Irishharpist's answer. Typical for someone who has\n  fallen under Coulter's toxic trance.Typical.

Incidental and irrelevant seems to be the campus answer.\n\nThe libs march in search of what they call truth, yet when that same object of desire appears as if it may cast an unfavorable light on their hero, suddenly the truth is "inconsequential".\nOdd.

Liberals have to express their bravery in some way since the vast majority are nothing but cowards.\n\nWhat better way to do that than by cracking open a child's skull, inserting a rod in the child's skull to destroy the brain, then reaching in and sucking the child's brains out with a vacuum and then dumping the leftovers of the child in the nights trash.\n\nPerfect crime against the most defenseless being on earth with the mothers consent no less-but let's make sure we protect those baby seals.

This is the game Republicans play:\n\n1-Dishonestly get away with hatred by saying "well you cant just call me hateful if you dont agree" even if they actually are.\n\n2-Turn everything upside down.To hell with freedom in America.Only Conservative Republicans have moral virture and we're gonna proove it to you if its its the last thing we evder do"\n\nFunny how the biggest Conservatives are the biggest hypocrites.\nWhy?\n\nConservative rhetoric is COMPENSATORY for the skeletons in the closet.\n\nNow you know.

Its obviously an appeal to the conservative religious right to say that if you don't believe in God, you must be an immoral person at heart.\n\nThe ironic thing is that we all could name dozens of religious figures who have been anything but moral in their actions.

Some conservatives are clueless, Here on Y-answers they're not hard to pick out. They tend to regurgitate the party line passed on from generations of conservative drunk or mentally unbalanced relatives spewing their warped ideas of what liberals actually are. Think Archie Bunker, remember him!? The cons refuse to accept responsibility for anything this criminal administration has done, opting rather to point the finger at our greatest modern day Pres. WJ Cliton. So between generations of conservative families, Rush, Ann Coutlter, and the "fair and balanced" FoxNEws channel they almost have no shot at all to learn to think for themselves, kind of sad really.

I understand your point.  I think it has to do with the fact that people are intensely stuck into categorizing. If a person considers him or herself to be liberal. They will normally take a harsh view on a conservative question that is not asked in a meaningful way. Or the other way, if a liberal question starts off with "why did bush kill our soldiers?" you will get an angry response from the right. That is why I asked the question that you answered. We have always been a society of labels. As far back as this countries founding there were labels on people for their political views or origin. Today it just takes an ever so hateful view and ignorance.

Hello dear!\nIn general, heroes are considered those who beyond the rules sacrifice themselves to the benefit of their principles! Mostly, in that time not many understand their stand and decisions, later the people (masses and rulers) see the contribution and proceed in accepting them as heroes!\nThus, when people are going with the masses, suffering and enjoying what everyone is doing they are not heroes, because they are not different!

Not unforgivable. But the biggest mistake they make in general is speaking out without having anything but the shallowest and most cursory knowledge of an issue. They also think 'doing something' is better than taking the time to figure out if action is even necessary, and if so, what action would actually help the most. They do not follow up to see the effects of their actions, to see if their 'doing something' actually achieved the ends they sought.\n\nIf they don't grow out of this sloppy thinking, they become liberals.
