Do Conservatives have any shame?

There are people right now with questions posted about whether the President should be assassinated.  I think your timing is off.

the problem between liberals and conservatives, is simple ,while liberal minded people point out the inequities of those who earn less and work harder , conservatives feel as though they have earned what they get .\nConservatives by virtue of always following the rules and path laid before them do so blindly without a care in the world never noticing they have a distinct advantage.\nAS an older American who watches T.V. and reads news reports i have noticed that the media talks down to people .This gives me a headache and in trying to point this out and other simple facts I run into conservatives who try to insist everything is fine with the country except for the liberals who are trying to destroy america. They point out that marriage is between a man and a woman and that is fine with me ,but giving married people rights that others do not have is wrong and i point this out.\nI get the usu-all responce that it was adam and eve not adam and steve responce .\nThis was not what I expected from an intelligent person \nI wanted to hear you are right and how can we make things fair for couples who want to raise a family.\nI get but adam and steve can not have a family only adam and eve.\nTO this i point out how many children in america have no parents at all and live in foster care, an impermanent situation that leaves children wondering always when they will be accepted as permanent members of  a family and know they are loved for who they are .\nA family consists of a domestic group of people ,typicaly affiliated by birth or marriage or by comparable legal relationship.\nIN a nuclear family the typically female  memeber of the family stayes home and raises the children ,and should the marriage fail she is provided for and so are the children.\nNOW when a same sex partnership breaks up only the person who has adopted the children legally has any rights .\nThis leaves the member of the family who raised the children and was there all the time for them watching over them and protecting them every day with no rights at all if they are not the adoptive member of the family.IN- fact they are not intitled to support or visitation or any rights granted in a marriage.\nI say to my consevative friends which i have only a few casual relationships with how do we do something about this and the responce is they had no business being togheter in the first place.\nThis i can not accept and it is wrong for anyone to tell another how to live and what relationships work and what ones do not.\nTHIS is the major differance between liberals and conservatives is we accept that rules need to exsist for the benefit of all mankind but mankind is not limited to living a life following rules that restrict his freedom of choice in who he may live with or the rights he is granted or denied because of sex this is discrimination .Two people apply for a license to marry and the rights there-in  agreed upon by the state to regognize and give equal weight to both parties and the benefits offered in accordance to taxes and rights of children to remain with there family.ONCE you make this a choice only offered to people of different sexes you have created discrimination and this is wrong.CONSERVATIVES will never accept this and this is why i beleive they are idiots cause faced with plain simple facts they can not see the truth .IF you asked a kid what is 2+2 and he had no answer or kept on insisting it was 7  you would say the boy is touched after you teach him that 2+2=4 . this is my feeling about conservatives is you can point out the truth but you can not make them drink.IF you wish to be considered average then leave governing to the people who know better and are smarter then you.although i see you put your-self above average americans.this means you see that i am right and discrimination is wrong and gays should have equal protection and rights under our laws.IF however you do not agree i must insist you accept that you are indeed average and allow the smarte

Well, I consider myself moderate- leaning conservative, but I don't think there's a problem with having the liberal point of view.  There's nothing wrong with being conservative or liberal, but no matter where you are on the spectrum, there is something wrong with intolerance toward another person's point of view.\n\nI will agree that there are some on both sides that are an embarrassment both to their ideologies, as well as the United States.  But remember that single events (such as Jane Fonda's trip to Hanoi during the Vietnam War) may not be characteristic of all people holding that point of view.\n\nI would like to close with two of my favorite quotes regarding differing ideologies:\n     1.  I may not agree with what you have to say, but I would fight to the death for your right to say it.\n     2.  Just because we don't see eye to eye doesn't mean we can't stand side by side.\n\n\nI hope this helps.

I don't know that conservatives (I'm a moderate by the way) are happy about WMD's existing but I see that you are missing the point.  The fact that these weapons exist in Iraq violate U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441 which required complete disclosure of Iraq's weapons programs and dismantlement of them in a verifiable manner.  It doesn't matter that they were "useless", he wasn't supposed to have them and was unwilling to disclose them.  This was the major reason the U.S. went to war in Iraq.  \n\nWhat I think conservatives are happy about is the backlash the liberal left-wing may suffer before this years elections.  All that "George Bush is a liar" talk may very well have an effect on voters opinions.  Remember, the declassified documents released alluded to finds all over Iraq so more detail may come out in the coming months as information is declassified.  So its not over yet.  Just be happy a guy like Saddam isn't in the WMD drivers seat anymore.

Look, I feel attacked for my beliefs, too, but being in our position is very difficult. We need to be good, loving, turn-the-other-cheek, WWJD people while fighting evil. And the fact that Christianity and Conservatism has been hijacked by those who would do their own evil will above the good of this country and her citizens, doesn't help much either...we're in bad company...even though there are many good people who are both Christian and Conservative.\n\nOne problem is that many people say that Jesus was tolerant. He was tolerant of people that broke God's laws because they didn't know any better. That is how he brought so many to believe in him....he showed them compassion....but he never said "You have been saved, now go back to the life you were living." He said, "You have been saved, now go and sin no more." He also never spoke against any of the Jewish laws forbidding sins such as adultery, homosexuality, stealing, prostitution, etc...he never said any of that was okay, just that if they were willing to turn away from their sins, they could be forgiven. Most people that like to say Jesus was a liberal don't think of those two points.\n\nAlso, Jesus would never say that abortion is okay. There's just NO WAY that would have happened.\n\nHe would have been for the death penalty IF we could find an executioner whose life was without sin.\n\nLiberals want to hijack Jesus for their vision of "tolerance" but not look at the laws that Jesus himself abided by...the laws that his FATHER made.\n\nLastly, it's just too convenient and easy for these liberals to cast stones and try to place blame and find fault then it would be to really address the issues that conservatives feel are most important.\n\nYou're not alone! God Bless!

In general, I don't recall people being openly mocked before the PC movement.  \n\nThe PC movement has only resulted in protecting liars.  PERIOD.

I have a few that I don't relate personally to, but I don't feel they bring ME shame.  They bring shame to themselves, because I can turn off the tv.\n\n1.  Sorry, Pat, I know you have accomplished plenty, but it's probably time to...  RETIRE.\n\n2.  Nixon.  \n\n3.  Rush.  Picks on women too much.\n\nSome more that I might tell you about on November 8.

Yes. Where shall we send them? Come up with something, quick! By the way, it's not conservatives. The conservative party has been hijacked by a bunch of paranoid, end times, suicide politicians who have been planning their takeover for years! \n\nhttp://www.thefourreasons.org/

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 wouldn't go that far. I know several Republicans who are quite firm in their beliefs (most of them can't stand Bush, but that's another issue) I'd think of it more as theory vs. reality - it's easy to believe something until you see the effect it has on people. Like the old joke goes, a conservative is a liberla who's been mugged.

I haven't noticed this, but I might have an answer...\n\nLiberals like to check with the people, to make their vioces heard.  Conservatives just go and make a decision, without looking at all the facts.

Are conservatives smug, non-thinkers who only do what their minister tells them to do?\n\nI don't believe that, but if you're going to do nothing but hurl insults, all I have to do is toss them right back at you.\n\nThen, you and other conservatives will say - "See, liberals can only mock conservatives", while you fail to see that you began this thread with a ridiculous insult.

Conservative thinking is about making the ordianry people feel surprised about the things you mentioned. For them is all part of a plan which is to get filthy rich by exhausting resources all over the world.

First, I hope you realize that your Neocons label is kind of funny to us conservatives.  Its one that liberals love to use to describe a profile that they love to overlay on the rest of the conservatives with but to us its kind of silly cause it just some media thing.\n\nSecond, this is VERY important.  Conservatives (as I hope our liberal counterparts) care more about this country than words can describe.  So, yes as a very proud member of the conservative side of thinking I understand we've had some stupid/corrupt/lazy/{more expletives here} represenatives (high and low) over the last 4-8 years and we are not very proud of it.\n\nFinally, I pray that somebody can fix it and I believe it comes with fresh ideas and new energized people.  The Republicans (the politicians I'm talking about now) got fat and happy and forgot who they represented.  They are now gone or at least their power gone they got what they deserved am I happy?  Well, let me put it this way I happy some bad/lazy apples are out of town.\n\nSo heres to new possiblities!  Our day will come in 2 years but let's see where this train takes us.

As fair disclosure, I'm probably somewhere considerably to the left of moderate.\n\nFor me, it's not the party that matters as much as the person's motivation for having that political philosophy.  Any conservative who is a conservative purely because of their religion or their heritage is a lost cause.  So is any liberal who only hates Bush because they think it's cool, since they heard that Green Day does it too.\n\nHowever, if someone has formed their views by studying the issues first-hand, thinking about their own system of values, and researching the tenets that their country (the U.S., in my case) were built on, then they will probably be able to discuss politics pretty rationally.
