Why don't Conservatives ever answer a question honestly without abuse and moral blackmail?

Question

I have examples of contentious questions asked here by so called Conservatives, and they answer concisely without resorting to insults. This is because their arguments are normally well founded. Conservative just say, anti-american, leave america, bush haters. WHY DO YOU NEVER HAVE THE CONFIDENCE AND FACTS TO ANSWER Questions?

I will give examples on additional details soon.

I meant, Liberals answer the questions.

Just look at this example.

nacmanprisca...,
Fact is there are some, although very few conservatives who actually answer the question. You are one of the few.

Thanks Michelle

Answer 1

Look at these answers, I think you will know which ones are from the Neocon (with a big line across the face).

Don't worry you're not the only one :)

Answer 2

You're right to say "so-called" conservatives in your question, because no true conservative would resort--completely, anyway--to name-calling or insults to make his or her point. On the other hand, political dialogue, as the media is so fond of pointing out, has become so contentious--thanks largely to the media--that practically no one can resist a little mud-slinging. Liberals do it, too, the difference being that they are usually more shrill, repetitive, and nonsensical.

I do see your point, though. But as I said, true conservatives, who can enter into a debate with the facts on their side at least 90 percent of the time, have no need to be overly insulting. I say this as a conservative who is often prone to biting commentary myself--I'm naturally inclined to sarcasm, though, and I do try to make sure I'm right before jumping into a fray. I'm sure you were not referring to my own arguments in this forum, though--after all, I usually answer questions, not ask them.

Answer 3

It goes both ways. You can see it anywhere all the time. Too much hate. United we stand, Divided we fall. There has to be better communication so that we are united. Find and focus on common goals rather than on common ways to achieve them.Liberal vs. Conservative doesn't have to be dividing us as it has. By the way i tend to be conservative. So not most of us are that way. But then again most liberals aren't either. But like I said it goes both ways.

Answer 4

The same reason that may of the Liberals/Democrats on this site can't understand that Bush actually won both the 2000 and 2004 elections.

Answer 5

The same (I am ashamed to say) can be asked of liberals. In fact, your very question is proof of this. Since joining this sight, I have begun to question my association with any political party!! I would be ashamed to be called either a conservative or a liberal ... a republican or a Democrat.

Answer 6

Depends on the question and/or how it is asked. Too many questions by libs or defeatocrats are nonfactual and just rants. I personally take a defensive attitude as you would if I asked a question or made a statement similar. So, it goes both ways.

Answer 7

Don't you mean liberals never answer a question honestly? Conservatives, mainly, love George Bush. It's the liberal left who don't like him.

Answer 8

Liberals have absolutely no room to talk about this issue. Why is it when we come up with an answer to your stupid questions, you just ignore the facts. Why can't Liberals live in reality? What is so bad about reality?

Answer 9

They are true examples of sheep following various Shepard's, you know; FoxNews, various NEOCON lunatics such as Coulter, Limbaugh, etc. So to answer your question, the can't, they are unable to think for themselves, but rather spew the party line at all costs while managing to evade questions at the same time.

Answer 10

curiously so. I surely were violated for doing so. {shrug} convinced, I surely have allegedly spoke back a question without quite answering the question as in preserving with the subjective interpretation of the Yahoo community regulations.
