As I go through the various political questions on this site, (admittedly, the ones by Americans,) I see a trend: Conservatives asking why Liberals are Godless, stupid, immoral, etc., and Liberals asking why Conservatives have such a chip on their shoulder.
Why can't we have differences of opinion that don't end with being called unpatriotic or a terrorist, or having some Bible quote spewed out at us?

Intelligent discourse is too hard work, I guess.

The conservatives are so damn angry because:
1- When we see our country being invaded by foreigners and the liberals talks about amnesty for all.
2- When we know that photo IDs will keep democratic election system clean from illegals voting and the liberals say it a bad idea because some other reasons that have nothing to do with the truth.
3- When we want to build a fence on our southern border to keep illegals, drugs, criminals, terrorist, etc. out and the liberals say that the best way to control our border is by talking to the Mexican government,,
4- When we are fighting the invasion of illegal aliens coming in to our country and the liberals are calling us racists.
5-When we want to fight terrorist outside of the USA, like in Irak and the liberals want to "cut and run" from Irak..
6- And etc. etc. etc.
Now do you think that all of these reasons are reasons enough for us Americans to be DAMN ANGRY, I think so.. don't you.?

I consider my self a Conservative and I am not angry. I think why people who dint have strong morals and family values come off to others as Liberals or left wingist. I dint care about that. We Americans need to build strong values and morals because this is what this country was built on. If we dint get back to the basics we will crumble from the within. We are to divided and our enemy's know it. They are trying to use that against us because they know that they cant make us fall from the outside but only from within. Americans just need to come together.

Because it makes too much sense

Because liberals want to give everything away. Conservatives have worked long and hard to build this country and the libs are working just as hard to tear it down. If America ceases to exist, better learn to speak Farsi, Korean or Mandarin Chinese.

LOL!! Maybe provocation from questions like this one?
Ironically, the only "Bible-spewing" I have seen around here has been from libs--directly attacking conservatives--or in answers to questions asking for "Bible-spewing."
Do you ever consider how offensive your speech might be to us? Other than deliberately trying to offend?

I'm a moderate conservative. I'll tell you why I'm so angry:
I'm tired of seeing threats made against the president.
I'm tired of people calling the president names, instead of encouraging intelligent discourse on his shortcomings.
I'm tired of all the stupid conspiracy theorists.
I'm tired of people calling conservatives greedy, illiterate, uneducated, red-necked, inbred, Bible-thumping, abortion clinic bombing, warmongering, hypocritical idiots. (Granted, the name-calling runs rampant on both sides, but STILL.)
I'm tired of people claiming that conservatives are pedophiles, or that they support pedophilia.
I'm tired of being told that if I don't agree with "them", it's because I'm blind, or ignorant. Excuse me? Both sides use rhetoric and propaganda, not just the conservatives!
I'm tired of being told that since I'm a "conservative", it must mean that I'm a Rush Limbaugh fan (which I'm NOT, I can't stand the guy!), and that I must only watch FOX news (which I DON'T, I take my news from all over!).
I'm tired of being told that our president is the real terrorist, and that our soldiers (including MY HUSBAND!) are baby-killers and rapists.
THAT'S what makes me angry. Even worse, I'm angry because when I dare to defend myself, or to tell someone that they're ignorant (when they don't use real sources, for example, or when they stereotype people) I get reported!
Again, I know both sides do it, but that's why I'M angry.
Oh, and I'm also tired of being told that I can't talk about my Christianity. Last I checked, we had FREEDOM OF RELIGION in the US. Or does that only include non-believers?

The mud slinging goes both ways. It's not just the conservatives. It's probably so wild on here cause it's the internet and people are having fun in their own sick way.

It's got something to do with the polls re the coming elections.
They had their chance, they failed, now power is slipping away.
