Is there a reason that people from ALL sides of the political spectrum fling unsubstantiated assertions?

Question

There are ideological battles on here that are absurd.

Conservatives: Many of you drag out your opinions without substantiating them or checking your facts. Bringing your religion into a conversation is a really shitty way to make a point, as you are decreasing the objectivity and believability of your assertions. Saying your book of choice said homosexuality is unnatural or a choice does not a good argument make, and denying scientific observations that are generally accepted by the scientific community (e.g. evolution) destroys your credibility. Assert yourselves in a professional manner.

More radical liberals: Please, please, please stop the touchy-feely babbling. It does not make you look credible. Assert yourselves in a professional manner.

Those who say 'Can't we all get along?": Realize that, while bipartisanship is good, it is not always the best approach.

And LEARN TO SPELL. You do not look horribly intelligent if you misspell every other word.

I should add that many radical liberals don't support their assertions either. Everybody should at least check their facts.

Answer 1

Ignorance and lack of original thought. Many parrot the pundits because they fail in thinking for themselves. Both sides.

Answer 2

It has been said for centuries, the 2 subjects you never disucss are religion and politics. Too opinionated
