I have noticed that and remarked on that fact to my 360 friends the other day! Oh yeah, you're one of them!

I must disagree with you here. While I'm no friend to the leftists some of them are able to articulate a point without name-calling and can do so succinctly. Conversly, some of those on the right seem to be a few fries short of a happy meal if you know what I'm saying. Of course so are some of those on the left.
Its really quite simple here people, there are intelligent and articulate people on both sides. Problem is these people don't shout because they know they can get their point across with the content of their words not the decible level of their voice. Also, a good point on one side can be taken by the radicals on that side and twisted and mutilated until it becomes something it was never intended to be in the first place. Then the radicals will yell and scream about how right they are using someone else's point of view and scamming it off at their own. They do not do the critical thinking that goes into making an informed opinion, and all they want the rest of us to do is acknowledge how smart they are for stealing someone else's idea. And of course they have no recourse other than name-calling when someone questions them on it because they didn't do the thinking that made the point of view in the first place.
As far as I'm concerned, there are radicals on both sides and neither of them can make a decent argument for most of what they believe in and this is why they may use name-calling and ridiculous methods to try to get their outdated overused points across. But these people are no more likely to be liberal as they are to be conservative. They are everywhere. Thanks and have a nice day.

Yes I have , and it is refreshing to find a place where conservatives have the opportunity to express the true measure of their intellect and ability .
I often wondered where all the conservatives went . Those people who feel as I do that any gun control is wrong . That abortion is wrong . That smaller government is good . That spending must meet the needs of good government . That more laws and restrictions only hurt our capitalist society . That welfare should be handled by local charities who are close to the problems reducing the taxes and social spending we currently engage in . That I should be able to pick my Doctor and not some HMO or other government instituted program paid for and administered at my expense . As a conservative it is often difficult for people to accept my superior intellect and knowledge but here I feel right at home .
The only problem is that I also want free markets to develop in the production of mind altering substances and the removal or the Harrison act . Like I have stated earlier laws need to be carefully enacted and not in haste costing me more of my hard earned money . I would rather contribute my money to a private security firm to protect my property and family from crime then punish those who are arrested and jailed for drug offenses at my expense . Jails cost lots of money to run . Thats tax dollars out of my pocket going to waste .

I'm a concervative but I think it's unfair to say they're "smarter" or more "articulate". For every smart concervative who makes valid points, there's another one who just bashes people and really does not have intentions of contributing the society.
Same goes with Liberals.
Both coins are exactly alike. They both have heads and tails.

I'm not sure that's true.
There are plenty of people on either side that speak with reason and intelligence. Conversely, there are those on both sides of the aisle that are complete yahoos (bad pun intended).
Thanks. Have a great day!

Much more articulate and intelligent than... other conservatives?
No, not at all. They're all pretty poorly educated.
Much more articulate and intelligent than.... liberals?
Again, no.
I do find it ironic that you mentioned conservatives being articulate and intelligent, but neglected to mention relative to whom, though.

To whom are you comparing your conservatives? I can think of different groups of primates and lesser evolved species to which they might be more articulate and intelligent. Now, look, I'm agreeing with a conservative!

I guess anyone who can type has the ability to be articulate.
