Question by Godless Heathen: Are Conservatives capable of forming an argument more complex than, “SOCIALISM!”, “COMMUNISM!”, “AMERICA!”? Best answer: Answer by Curtis 1911Yes,,,,,I call obama the “anti-capitalist”! obama is only interested in saving or creating big government and big labor union jobs. While the private sector jobs are being lost by the millions per month. This is being done on purpose, obama has lost or destroyed over 37 million jobs. Because jobless people are more likely to depend on the government and support obamacare, and everyone getting a government paycheck votes for democrats. Plus we all know big labor union gives big money only to the democrat party. Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments! More...

by sroemerm Question by Andy F: How politically, morally & economically consistent are “conservatives” & “liberals,” capitalists & socialists? I’m way over on the far left and some people won’t trust me for this reason, but I think the truth is that in the United States today, there are are huge inconsistencies and logical contradictions within all of these movements. Actually, maybe the socialist movement is potentially more consistent, simply because we’re so small, but even so we have huge disagreements over democracy vs dictatorship, reform vs. revolution, Trotsky vs. Stalin vs. Mao vs. democratic socialism, etc. etc. When it comes to what Americans mean when we call ourselves “conservatives” and “liberals” and “Republicans” and “Democrats,” however, I think the inconsistencies are huge. There simply are many different kinds of “conservatives” and “Republica More...

Question by longhaired freaky person: Why do conservatives think that Greece’s economic crisis was caused by its so-called “socialism”? Yet they don’t believe that the U.S. economic crisis was caused by our capitalism? Really? Which US law directed financial institutions to loan money to people that could not pay it back? Damn those unions for financing all those sub-prime mortgages! lmao I’m saying capitalism is the problem. In the United States and Greece. About the myth of the CRA causing the crisis: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/armey-of-ignorance/ Best answer: Answer by Shovel ReadyThe economic contraction in the US was caused by government requirements that financial institutions lend money to people who would not be able to pay it back. The government in Greece also gave out too many freebies. What do you think? Answer below! More...

Question by ShyGirl: “Liberals want,” “liberals believe,” “liberals hate…” how is it conservatives know these things? Seriously. “Liberals” is not a singular person. So how can some conservatives say things like “Liberals want the destruction of this country” or “liberals hate the U.S.” and actually believe they’re being accurate? “It goes both ways” is not an answer to this question. I am asking about conservatives. If you want to know about Democrats, the “ask” button is at the top left of your screen. Best answer: Answer by beardog4314Well, you hear something on the radio, and that makes you an expert. Right? If they switched it to a rock channel, they’d all know how to play guitar too. Not that any of them would do such a thing- rock is the devil’s music. Add your own answer in the comments! More...

by arellis49 Question by Freedom’s Voice: Why do so many make politics about “liberals” and “conservatives”? What about people who want what is best for America? Also what in the h is a “neocon”? Don’t so many of you that use the words “liberal” and “conservative” realize that not all of us can be put into a box like that? For extra bonus points (I like to make people “work” for best answer) : Do you still think that the “Perot voters” are to blame for Bill Clinton” becoming President by defeating Herbert W Bush? or did maybe some of the things that Herbert Walker Bush did turn some of us away from him. For example one of the first things Herbert Walker did was to sign a ban on semi automatic weapons. Also Herbert Walker was the first to publicly proclaim and promote the “New World Order”. Have you forgotten about that? I am the NRA and I vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More...

by Michael Ignatieff Question by Andy F: If “liberals” believe in the multiplication table, should we reject it? What if “conservatives” support it? I guess the question I’m asking is whether “guilt by association” is the way that Americans (and other people) should be thinking about politics — and about everything else. Thus, for example, if “liberals” are said to support — say, the theory of global climate change — should conservatives automatically reject it? If “conservatives” are said to reject the idea of climate change, should “liberals” automatically support it? Similarly with most other issues: balanced budgets vs. Keynsian economic stimulus programs. Or further US engagement in Afghanistan, vs. US disengagement. Or the “right to life” vs. “a woman’s right to choose” – whatever issue you want to mention, should you make up your mind about it bas More...

Question by rabble rouser: Ok, so conservatives are calling liberals “Anti-American” and…? it is because they think that we are wanting to sit around and let terrorists take over our country… that we are some kind of “infectious disease” or “plague” that REAL Americans have to contend with… But do you ever stop to think that maybe the conservatives are playing into their hands considering the definition of terrorism? I refuse to be terrorized… that is how they control you. Have we forgotten all about the Nazi propaganda? Posters that said all the same things about Jews that conservatives are saying about “liberals”? Your thoughts? Best answer: Answer by patrickThe conservatives call us anti-american to distract everyone from the lies their people keep getting caught telling. Give your answer to this question below! More...

Question by rabble rouser: Do you understand that “liberals” and “conservatives” have no place in a discussion of war? Isn’t it frustrating the way these accusations fly back and forth without merit? Only reasonable people should be discussing the war on a government level… this excludes all the homeland social issues… Pelosi being a “liberal” and Bush being a “conservative” (notice the quotes) has nothing to do with the funding of the Iraq war. If you are a social conservative then typically it is because you dislike abortion, separation of church & state, and gay rights… If you want those things to stop… then by all means, support Al Queda! What do you think? Best answer: Answer by Lindsey GYes… some people ask completely insignifigant questions Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments! More...
