Yes, I do. I hate all conservatives because they are so intolerant and inflexible and stereotypical of entire groups, and they just hate everyone. I, on the other hand, preach love and acceptance no matter who you are.
Seriously, why do you need to say "conservative?" Why not just selfish people who don't care....blahblahblah? I don't like the actions of selfish people, yet am conservative. I am for the well-being of society, and that is why I believe the way I do.
Take a chill pill, and spread the love.
Peace.

I'm guessing those that thumbs downed you LIKE selfish people. However, I think it makes sense to let it be recognized that anybody can be selfish. Not any lot of people in any group are anything.

I propose that you just give everything you earn (you do work, don't you?) to social welfare programs before you go spouting this kind of misleading bovine excrement because conservatives give a whole lot more to society than liberals do and there's proof of that, unlike your blatent lies:
Charity: It's The Right Thing to Do
By: Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.comThursday, Nov 30, 2006
So what are we to make of the fact that conservative Americans donate 30% more to charity than liberal Americans? A new book called "Who Really Cares" by Syracuse University professor Arthur Brooks is not going to please the Howard Dean crowd. The book states flat-out that religious Americans who vote Republican are far more likely to be generous to the downtrodden than secular-progressives.The big question, of course, is why? Liberal philosophy is all about "nurturing" people who need help. The "tax the rich" crew can't yell loud enough that more money needs to go to Americans in need. Just not their money.That may be unfair, but probably is not. The cornerstone of liberal economic thought is "income redistribution;" that is, big government taking assets from the affluent through taxation and giving said assets to the less well-off through entitlements like subsidized health care, housing, educational scholarships and the like. The left is also big on imposed "economic justice," things like guaranteed wages and lifetime job security.But a funny thing happened on the way to socialism. Americans who believe in "income redistribution" give 75% less to charity than Americans who do not, according to Dr. Brooks. That is a stunning differential.I believe this is a religious thing. Secular-progressives believe in individual gratification, and that often takes money. Buying that jazzy new SUV and that vacation home can deplete disposable cash fast. If it's all about you, then you are thinking about you, not about poor Dave down the street.But devout Christians, Jews, and Muslims are compelled to help the poor by their beliefs. Personal gratification is not a big theme in scripture. Jesus was a huge "help your neighbor" guy. For J.C., it is all about Dave down the street, not the latest material possession.The statistics say that religious Americans give four times as much money to charity each year than secular people, and are 23 times more likely to volunteer to help people than folks who never attend church. And here's another crushing stat: If liberals donated blood at the rate conservatives do, the nation's blood supply would rise 45%.So in this season of giving, Christmas, a word some liberals don't like to say, it might be worth pondering just who is really looking out for the have-nots. The leftist media often portrays conservatives as mean, cruel and insensitive to the plight of the downtrodden. But, as the tax returns of multi-millionaires Dick Cheney and Al Gore prove, the media image is false. The Vice President gives millions to charity, Mr. Gore very little.So the next time you hear a big government liberal bloviate about helping the poor, please trot out the statistics mentioned in this column. And then tell that person that in America today, giving money to charity seems to be the right thing. What's left is not even close.

1. No.
2. You are really generous with other people's money.
3. Freedom is about freedom of opportunity, not a guarantee of outcome.
4. How about you give away 90% of what you have because people in Africa are starving?

Huh?
I think I hate people who ask questions that aren't really questions that are a nasty generalization about a group. That's what I hate.

Don't you just hate all the "socialists" who would sit on their lazy azzes and collect from those who have worked hard to better their life and their families lives?
