Why do Conservatives like to start wars?

Because sitting in a circle around a fire, singing and smoking dope gets to be a drag, after you turn, like, 17,man....

They just don't like what President Bush is doing right now with the War on Iraq,   They know that everything is going great with the economy, and that just drives them crazy.  Liberals seem to think more than act.

Wars happen for two reasons.\n\n1. To expand power.\n2. To protect existing power.\n\nAny other reasons given are what we tell ourselves to make us feel better.

Hmm..I am a liberal, yet I have never killed a baby, ran from a fight or saved a seal.  Liberals are not anti military, the idea that they are is ludacris.  In the last two elections we put forth decorated war veterans, General Wesley Clark a long time serviceman is a Democrat.  Conservatives wlected a veritable draft dodger president, and lied and said that a Vietnam vet who lost both legs and arm fighting for his country(former Georgia senator Max Cleeland) supported terroists, just to win his senate seat.  Liberals believe in fighting the good fight, not the pointless one that needlessly puts brave men and women in harms way.  As for hugging trees, those who look at the scientific data in terms of health effects and global warming and don't put the environment at the forefront are simply put, foolish.

because republican leaders don't fight in wars..... it's the children of the working class the fight and die in wars!!!!!  republicans just like to make wars.... not actually do any fighting!!!!

Are you kidding?\n\nRepublicans tend to be conservatives (though there are exceptions for sure)....\n\nIn general, conservatives want to "conserve" our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and strive to keep the government close to the principles upon which it was founded.\n\nBeing a Conservative...I'd like to remove the Commerce Clause though!!!!!

It's over and your side won. Tell me why do you feel the need to keep bashing conservatives? This is typical of you libs, you never shut up with your hate speech and bashing regardless of if you win OR lose.\n\nMaybe, being a basher makes you more popular with your friends or something.

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.

Well, I guess in a way if youre fighting war than that means youre starting a war against war, which means you are already contradicting yourself. The point im trying to make is it doesnt really matter what context it is in, it takes a war to start yet another.\n\nI applaud you for asking this question, but I am a lil confused as to why you did it since your ideology seems so thrown together and a little clumsy.\n\nI dont believe evil has a face. Its only a word we've constructed to seperate each other. But even if it did, are you saying that war exists because of "evil"? If thats true, than why do you feel that saying "war is wrong" is any different than saying that it is necessary?\n\nO i get it, we call that atitude nihilism - a belief that there is no point in caring because to care would mean that you think it is possible to change. But dont you think that in already saying it is impossible to change than you have already disqualified yourself from ever changing anything in the first place? \nDoesnt that whole idea go back to the "takes a war to start one" thing?

I don't know, as I haven't read the book of fiction upon which your question is founded. War on terror? If you are referencing Iraq, you are stupid. But no matter. The war is good for the country in the long run. Sends stupid angry white men, the backbone of the Republican party, to early retirement from voting. Supporting the war is treasonous, knowing what we now know. Shame on the spineless and soulless misanthropes in charge of our affairs

I agree with C.E. You are bias, and it appears to be that you don't care. But I will give an answer anyway. \nLiberals and Conservatives are on diff. sides. You think they're going to get along when both think that they're right? It's obvious they're not. Here's why: \nThere are some things worth fighting for. What your country does is a BIG one. \nOh, let me verify something. There are good ppl on both sides, and there are bad. Not all think the same way, but there is the general idea of both, that has been established. \nAnd this isn't democrats vs. republicans, it's liberals vs. conservatives. You need to get them straight. But here's the story on what you asked, even if you didn't know it;\nConservatives wish to conserve the morals and values of the JudeoChristian heritage that has made America great. \nLiberals wish to have "freedom" from all morals and values, esp those of the scriptures. \nDems and Republicans are diff. If you're wondering abt them, ask that. Generally though, it is the republicans that have conservative views and vice versa. \n...Conservatives believe that torturous murder of unborn babies should be illegal, and Libs believe it's the woman's choice to kill her baby or not. \nCs believe capital punishment should be used, and Ls want to be easy on such crimanals. (usually) Cs believe homosexuality is wrong, and such "unions" should not be allowed, Ls promote such stuff....\nThere is more, but that is why they don't get along. Why should they?  I am a conservative republican, and I will always fight for what I know is right, and liberal democrats will always fight against that. And that's the truth of it.

Your question's spelling is disastrous. But I understand your point and agree with it.\n\nPoverty and violence only generate more resentment and more violence. I don't understand why people can't seem to realize that the war on Iraq and Afghanistan, and the western-backed free-market policies have only served to increase poverty and terrorism, in the middle east and elsewhere.\nMaybe that's what the right-wing wants, anyway. More terrorism to keep their own populations more afraid and xenophobic....

Because there is something seriously wrong with all people who consider themselves conservative christiians, and any other religion for that matter. No matter how high and mighty they think they are, everyone is flawed, and religion causes war.

Power is the impetus for war.\nReligion, land, politics...are the fall guys for power mongers.

Because they are afraid... they know that they have two years to try to convince America that being conservative is wrong, and are afraid its not going to happen... because most people know the truth.\n\nThe truth is of course that what Answerman said is wrong, either through ignorance or he wants to change the facts.  He linked conservatives with NAZI Germany.  Heads up kids, Hitler was a socialist... that's right, a liberal.  It the the liberal, democratic president FDR who had dealings with NAZI Germany.\n\nThe term Neo-Con is in flux, it doesn't have much of a meaning yet.  It is used interchangeable to describe the far right and the right leaning moderates.  If you want to frustrate a liberal when they use it ask what it means.  They get that deer in the headlights look every time.\n\nNote to BrianW_28:  I must have been typing when your answer popped up, I didn't see it.  Congratulations on being one of the few libs around here who can not only spell but use coherent sentences AND string them together to convey coherent thoughts.

wars are not created because of some defect in human lovemaking....wars are usually cold calculated efforts of grabbing more recources dreamed up by guys like our present neocons...dosnt matter if they have enough sex...power in itself is an aphrodisiac....

Liberals hate Conservatives because Conservatives know the difference between right and wrong and call out Liberals on their actions. No one likes to be told that they are wrong or what they are doing is wrong.\n\nAs a Conservative, I get aggrivated when Liberals think they know all of life's answers and they act like intellectuals when actually they are not very smart.
