Why are liberals and conservatives so predictable?

I have no time for extremists on either side. The strident yelling from the extreme left and the pious preaching from the far right are both disingenuous and they waste way too much of our time and energy. Both are predictable.

It depends on what issue the liberal is arguing at the moment.  Sometimes him being stupid helps their argument better and other times the evil genius idea helps their argument better.  He really can't be both, but liberals do enjoy contradicting themselves.

They aren't understood; they are manipulated for political purposes. Currently, the Reps do it more...labeling liberalism as something so bad.

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!

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."

Liberals only think of the present and what they want now. They don't look at the big picture and consider what the consequences\nof their actions and demands will be further down the road.

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.

I think you are politically ignorant. You obviously spend time listening to the left-leaning liberal media. But I could be wrong.

Liberals don't respect the law of unintended consequences.  they are slow to see a dicator coming.  They adore creating classes of citizenship.  They flunk.\n\nConservatives, now, are a party that insists on using government to achieve RELIGIOUS goals.  They are the religious party.  They flunk.\n\nSo I'm a hard-currency, limited-government federalist and anti-utopian.  When Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan were alive, this was called "conservatism."  In the 19th century, it was called "liberalism" and some people still call it "classical liberalism."  Nowadays, some are calling it being a "militant moderate."  At the root, it is "Lockean empiricism."

It is amusing to see liberals pretending to be shocked by buggery

Come one; liberals have been stuffing envelopes full of "it" for years, they continue to espouse "it" regularly, and try to deliver "it" on a regular basis.  Nothing new here.

Thank you for making it obvious that liberals are intellectually inferior to conservatives. You've got some serious issues... I suggest years and years of in-depth psychoanalysis and therapy.

I like some Conservatives and some Liberals. Personally, I try to look beyond the "outer shell" and instead focus on the person. Many moderate Liberals have more in common with Conservatives than they do with "extremist" Liberals, and conversely, many moderate Conservatives have more in common with Liberals than they do with "extremist" Conservatives. \n\nConsequentially, in a lot of cases these names are actually misnomers because they carry ‘preloaded’ connotations that may not even be true. Major problems arise from slapping these broad labels on people because they encourage polarization rather than unity. In fact, the labels "Conservative" and "Liberal" have such extraordinarily negative connotations that they are used like socially acceptable profanity. You only need to spend a few minutes on Answers.com to see what I'm talking about. \n\nInterestingly, most people never really think about how they developed their beliefs. In most cases, people simply adopt whatever political affiliations that their parents had, just like most people unquestioningly adopt their parent’s religion. This kind of emotional, reactionary allegiance replaces rational thought and is therefore extremely dangerous. Let's stop the madness!

From what I have seen, liberals are a lot more emotional than conservatives. They seem to get angry a lot easier. I also agree with what tony said. Especially the part about changing their ways when they get out on their own. It reminds me of a quote from Winston Churchill, "Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains."

well are you going to teach them?  what is the addage of counting your chickens before they are hatched.  these 'dems' are conservatives and had to run with republican values to win.  so if you think liberals have this great mandate, you're wrong.  these conservative liberals will have to vote conservative to please their constituents.  and 15 is not a majority really.. when there are already about 20 to 30 that vote with the republicans now!

Liberals don't operate on the same value system as you and I.  They arrogantly assume that they are superior to others, and that only they are qualified to lead.  If they lose, they must blame something, ANYTHING else except themselves.
