Given the option of taking the money and leaving, do you think conservatives would stay and defend the U.S.A.?

Question

Say there was a hypothetical situation in which the world decided to conquer the United States. The world alliance against the United States managed to accumulate enough money to offer every U.S. citizen $100,000 to abandon their country and move elsewhere.
What do you think conservatives would do ? How about liberals ? I think most conservatives would take the money and run. While most liberals would stay and defend America. The reason being that conservatives love money more than anything, and are essentially cowards. They hide their fear by striking out at those weaker than them. Like some play ground bully that picks on weaklings, but avoids a real fight.
Liberals on the other hand, love the freedoms of America. They want to advance the nation to the greatest civilization in the history of the world. They refuse to abandon the dream in the face of ignorance, bigotry, greed, and fear. In other words they are the ones that made America great. What do you think ?

patrickct and Pfo, it's not just the money. It's that they could lose their lives defending the country. That's the VERY point ! For a measly $100,000 they would leave, I think. Hell, they would probably leave for free, just to save their sorry conservative necks !

nonalchoho and joevette, don't you hate it when some liberals (like me) acts as stupid as you do ? I've read your questions and answers. You have been just as obnoxious as I've been right now. Pay back is a ***** ain't it ?

Answer 1

Bullshit by any other name is still bullshit. Most of the people I served with in the military came from conservative families. Which branch did you say you served in?

Answer 2

I even have heard this until now from assorted conservatives...tremendously company types(regrettably assorted people who're doing the hiring). maximum company variety worker is a republican. i think of the precise agencies are GOP individuals. they have self belief that for the period of real capitalism, companies besides as workers are weeded out for the period of a bad economy(the folk and companies that have been vulnerable and not good first of all). because of the fact once you're an exact worker who has proved your cost..they does no longer help you flow. fact be recommended...there is a lot greater to it then that. human beings get enable flow who're high priced, the greater youthful get laid off, anybody the administrative had a character conflict with, workplace politics(shop kinfolk and private pals), advert nauseum. that could be a concern that maximum human beings do no longer comprehend...generally bc they do no longer comprehend human beings think of this way, it does not result them, or that usually human beings have self belief the worker no longer without postpone deserved it. I even have pals who're unemployed...the previous and youthful look taking this the toughest besides as all those center workers that have been given shrink. Now I study that pals who have not found employment who're all nicely knowledgeable basically because of the fact the get admission to point with good adventure that employers wont hire the unemployed or people who've been off a 300 and sixty 5 days. If this develop into an excellent economy...perhaps(?) there may well be some fact to the theory at the back of what they are announcing, yet that is not any longer. you be attentive to the announcing, that is often greater handy to locate a job once you have one. It makes me sick and sadden. the only particular thank you to locate employment now's contained in direction of the gov't. they are the only jobs the gov't can result and create. they are additionally lots greater effectual at no longer discriminating against anybody unemployed or that has been off for a 300 and sixty 5 days.

Answer 3

I am a Conservative and I have defended my country. Have you? It is not the Conservatives that are doing the money grab but the politicians. Both major parties do their share of getting their ill gotten goods. There are good liberals and Conservatives alike who would stay and defend the country but from my experience the Conservatives are more willing to literally fight for what they believe in. Liberals in general (not all but largely) don't want any confrontation other than talking a little smack. I as a conserve. do not bully or pick on people but I will call a spade a spade and I do believe in letting people enjoy or suffer the consequences of their actions.

Answer 4

Hahah, thanks for the laugh.

If anything the libs would tuck their tails grab their money and get the hell outa dodge. As a conservative and most of my conservative friends, out come the guns to defend our Country. Brave men and women have defended our Country for years and it is our duty to protect America also.

As far as I see it, the libs don't support our troops, the conservatives do. They're fighting an evil war. So, what would make one think dems would stand and fight? Hmmm, can't think of one.

Hey, good idea! Libs take the money and leave, conservatives fight and defeat the enemy. Wow, no libs and no terrorists! Gosh what a dream!!!!

Thanks for this question, I really needed the laugh!

Answer 5

Kinda like Dr. Evil asking for $1MM.

To most conservatives the opportunity cost - the lost income from moving out of the US - would far exceed $100K. Fully 1 in 11 US households have $1MM or more in liquid net worth. Fully 1 in 4 have between $100K and $500K liquid net worth.

You asked a quantitative question, you get a quantitative answer.

Answer 6

If the conservatives did take the money and run, so would the liberals, since nobody would be left to pay the taxes to fund thier welfare checks.

Answer 7

Given this asinine theory, how do you explain that the majority of our military are conservative in political and moral belief. The pay sucks, the risk to life and limb are great, but they stick around anyway. They aren't in it for the money, but the whiny politicians that continue to cut them down are. How much did John Edwards pay for his new house in NC?

Answer 8

lol, that's ridiculous. Only $100,000? Most conservatives can earn that in 2 years w/ taxes and other payments. Some liberals might only see $100,000 in their lifetimes, you don't think they'd take that and run? If it was like... $1,000,000,000,000 then maybe you'd see conservatives taking the money and running, but not for a mere $100,000.

Answer 9

I think your question is biased.Based on opinions of yours that are just plain silly.I'm not a Conservative,I just think categorizing people is wrong.Especially when not backed up by facts.

Answer 10

We may get a chance to see how they'll react,sooner as opposed to later, if the US keeps biting off more than they can chew, there are other world powers( China/ Russia ),watching this Iraqi debacle,and if they choose to" bring it on",that scenario may very well become reality, minus the 100 grand,( then we'll get to seperate the boys from the Men )
