The Conservative of Yahoo Answers are quite critical of those with opinions of their own. This does not apply to all, but the politics of the boards are growing to sub-par level. Instead of reacting with answers of intelligence, they choose the easiness insults to make up for lack of knowledge. Simultaneously, as they are of their own world, basically, they can only get themselves to answer correctly to their own answers and therefore post insults and give themselves credit for their own answers, hiding from the truth, if you will. They critiqe a man who cannot keep his pants on, but praise an actor that acted like a president, a faulty president deserving of a conviction of espionage, and a current president who continues to drive his country into the ground. This question is not for people like Menifeedave, Nickyrage, and others who have nothing but hate to replace lack of knowledge, same applies to the liberals of the boards. I ask for truth, not hatred.

Jordan is an example of the simple minded punks that you refer to as well. You are correct in the fact that people don't know the facts but want to sound informed. Outrage is not informed and hatred is not truth. This is not a true serious forum for political inquiries. I asked the question,"who is Joseph Kony?". No one knew and that didn't surprise me, but that smart a s s remarks floored me as this man is the modern day Hitler in Uganda Africa. Again, most here are not of a political mind I believe. E-mail me if you would like to talk to some one who cares about real serious events of the day. I don't know everything and will admit it but I love to learn. And I think that's where most of our fellow posts here fall short, they don't realize they can learn here. Good luck and I hope to here from you!

First, I am not quite sure what the question is. This seems to be more of a rant than a question. Second, you really should try to proof read what you post and use proper English, including punctuation.
I will apporoach this as a question asking why most conservatives cannot form their own opinions and arguments and why they seem to simply attack someone who posts things that they do not like.
I think that the problem you describe is equally true of liberals, and neutrals. Too many people do not take the time to think. They let other people form their opinions for them and react badly when someone tries to present data that does not fit into their world view.
Most people are not simply conservative or liberal. Most of us fall somewhere in between. We have daily lives that require our attention, work, family, paying the bills, and so on. We have views that are liberal for some topics and conservative on others.
Even the Catholic Church fits into this. It is conservative to want to end abortion, but it is liberal to want to end the death penalty. The Catholic Church wants both. Go figure.
Notice no hatred, only truth and honest, thought out opinion.

It is too very hard to get the truth as so many politicians swing both ways on far too many topics. We live in a world of sound bits and opinionated websites. We have become a society of lemmings that have an attention span of three year olds. We glob on to a political ideas that benefit our own greed. You want better schools well just TAKE the money from one group. You work in a union well then the government should TAKE jobs from nonunion companies. You want healthcare you force someone else to pay for it. Greed in the GOP is self explanatory.
Criticism arise from the feelings of those who believe you are threatening their agenda.
Stupidity begets stupidity as hatred begets hatred.

I can only speak for myself not others .when i first started i was after points lol then realized if i answered all who disagree with me i soon was not able to respond so now i pick and choose what is worthy of a response .It seems that your question has already convicted those who don't agree with you. you have placed yourself in the position of judged and insulted all who disagree as sub-intelligent not a good position when in your disgust you become what you hate. I realize you will not pick this as best answer but it needed to be said

Thank you. I can't explain it, honestly. It saddens me that the country is so divided that we are reduced to name calling and insults in order to justify our beliefs.
This apparently, makes me a liberal idiot to those very people. Respect each others opinions, whether or not you agree.
