Why is Yahoo answers so conservative?

I know!  I've noticed that too.  Most of the people I know HATE Bush, his ratings are low, and the Congress that supports him had a recent 16% approval rating.  I even know some moderate Republicans that voted Democrat this year.\n\nYet people still say that "liberals are idiots" and "Bush is great."  Don't they realize that most of America and practically ALL of the world disagree with them?  Yet they still act all high and mighty.\n\nQuite a god complex they have, isn't it?\n\nBUSH SUCKS!!

I couldn't have said it better myself. You are so right. the Neo-Cons should be asamed of themselves for even using the term "conservative." Conservatism essentially means small government, which they clearly do not believe in, though they say they do. "Marriage = Man+Woman," they say. To coin a phrase... "Only a SITH deals in absoloutes."

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.

I am a Republican and you will see by my answers that I am very conservative.

Though I am not a liberal, I have found that wacko conservatives are more stubborn know it alls than are liberals. Personally, I think both are retarded, but that's just the opinion of a hard line moderate.

Asking a conservative to admit they were wrong is like asking a grumpy, insolent driver spiralling down a cliff if they should've taken a left rather than a far, far, FAR right.......\n\n(same results, BTW)

I havent really learned much except people really like to be right. \n I only started using yahoo answers because of the politics section, it was a much better format than message boards or chat rooms. It is fun stuff, thats all.

It's the same thing with every other category here (especially religion and politics)...people just like getting their two-cents in, I guess, whether you want their opinion or not.  I understand your frustration, though, people could make better use of their time by answering questions that they know something about or where their opinion is actually wanted.

Conservatives have twisted morality.  \n\nWhat are you if you believe in torture, government interference in your sexuality, government killing of citizens, Government censorship of the press, Government Censorship of Art, elderly poor eating cat food and living on the streets, no-warrant police searches of private property, and want to live in a country where poor people don't get medical care?\n\nYou're an american conservative.

First, it seems that many of you are taking the "conservative viewpoint" to heart - I don't think that it means each and every single person who might align themself with the conservative thinking just as one can't make a generalization about each and every single liberal.  While I can't be sure of the actual intent of the question, it doesn't sound like it is implying that EVERY SINGLE PERSON who calls themself conservative believes that.  \n\nIt seems that in the same way conservatives are misunderstood, so are liberals, and socialists, and marxists, and moderates, etc.  \n\nSecond, Heidi 4, "you want everything to be given to you" is a huge assumption, I would say.  Clearly nothing comes for free, ESPECIALLY in the United States, but does that mean that we, as a nation, can't figure out a way to provide at least basic healthcare for all at a reasonable cost (to all), or stop depending on oil so heavily?  A few European countries have amazing universal health for hardly the cost that we pay for an uninsured hospital visit.  Technology to decrease our dependence on oil has been invented but is being held back from the public...but why?\n\nThirdly, a few mentioned dedicating your life to service.  How unoriginal.  Love thy neighbor doesn't mean dedicate your life to servitude but to give respect to all - whether you agree with them or not, everyone is a human being with thoughts and feelings and opinions and different life experiences.  \n\nFinally, concerning "deplete and destroy what was divinely given to humans" is actually a very interesting point.  This can be pinned to everyone regardless of religious affiliation but it does seem the most contradictory for those who do believe that god created all.  It's a slap in the face saying, "You gave it all to us and you gave us brains-  ha ha ha- we sure can't take care of it because we all want money which is something that humans invented, not you!  Ha- you sure misjudged us."  Well put.

It is NOT just you. There is a serious DUH factor in MOST of the questions in here.\n\n\nReticent how can you blame Yahoo's STUPID questions on Bush. That raises the DUH factor of the answers.

Small government, fiscal accountability, limited involvement in foreign  wars, slow acceptance of sweeping fiscal, environmental, social, and cultural changes.  I REAL conservative might be someone like ....Theodore Rosevelt or Grover Cleveland, or Hoover, or Coolidge.  The current occupant is NOT a conservative - not with how the Reagan principals have been betrayed and our nation looted.

Conservatism is what it always used to be: don't go trying to change it.\nNo, I don't think Republicans are conservative, I think they are gullible.

Because it's just so *fun* to post blatantly ridiculous political "questions" that turn into arguements on Yahoo! Answers.\n\nBelieve me, I'm sick of it, too.

liberal conservative?

a conservative is someone who is pro military, religion, cops, war, racism, censorship. conservatives dont like paying taxes because they dont like benefiting anyone other than themselves. in general, the rich are more conservative than the poor. they are unable to accept new ideas or change. theyre against the environment, gays, immigrants, welfare, healthcare. conservatives are usually white.

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.
