My question to liberals do you really believe that conservative are dumb?

Question

Or are you just seeking a rise out them?

That goes for watching Fox News why all the hate towards 1 network when there are so many to choose from?

Lastly can you really support the fairness docterine and should also apply to ALL forms of media not just radio?

Answer 1

Conservatives disagree with liberals on everything and refuse to do as they command. That makes them dumb.

Answer 2

Liberalism is always in the vanguard of new ideas and entitles itself as smarter than the status quo (conservatism), Liberalism operates best in theory and that means academia and journalism of the masses. So. Yes. Liberals do consider themselves smarter than conservatives, Wm. Buckley, et al, nonwithstanding.

Fairness doctrine? Balderdash! The airways are public and anyone may buy time. Liberal ideas are theoritical and many times do not stand up to logical criticism, ergo, talk radio is not kind to unfounded theories and liberal tomes.

Answer 3

I don't think conservatives are dumb. I think they are afraid.

I think religious conservatives are fairly ignorant and also very fearful of just about everything in life they are not familiar with and don't understand.

I also don't believe that most people who call themselves conservative actually are conservative as the term used to be applied. Conservatives in the style of Pres. Lincoln are not in control of this administration.

Fox News gets its ratings from spewing hate. Fox News is, in my view, about as irrelevant as it gets.

I am an economic conservative and a social liberal.
The fact is, I am more closely aligned with Jesus's beliefs than any of the fundamentalist conservatives currently raising a fuss over every social issue and demanding that government live our lives for us.

Answer 4

Stupidity has murdered and imprisoned more geniuses, burned more books, slaughtered more populations, and blocked progress more effectively than any other force in history. It may be no exaggeration to say that stupidity has killed more people than all diseases known to medicine and psychiatry.Socrates thought he had found the cure in dialectic, Aristotle in logic, Bacon in experimental method, the eighteenth century in universal democracy and literacy, Freud in psychoanalysis, Korzybski in General Semantics, etc. Although all these inventions have been beneficial to some of us some of the time, they have not stopped the worldwide ravages of the plague, and they have not even abolished totally the occasional lapses into stupidity of their most accomplished practitioners .
Standing by at all times is the conservative cloaked in his religion and politics ready to take on any one who challenges his ability to use his mindless petty pandering to lower the level of intelligence that liberals so graciously give to this world .

Answer 5

The fairness doctrine only applies to talk radio. My friend above me is very wrong.

Answer 6

Good question. You get a star for effort. Predictably though the answers pretty much sucked.

Answer 7

not really, but many of the pro bush people on YA do seem to be

I certainly don't think small government conservatives are "dumb".

Answer 8

Why did you bother to ask this question? You should have known by prior experience how the Liberals would respond!
In their own minds, they know it all, and we are ignoramuses.
How do you argue with People who think like that?

Answer 9

Dumb doesn't have a political affiliation. anyone uneducated is dumb, it wasn't determined by how they voted. Both parties have thier idiots!

Answer 10

It's easier to believe that those who do not agree with your ideaology are stupid or evil, than to believe that your ideaology may be flawed. Conservatives tend to choose to believe thier rivals are evil. Liberals tend to choose to believe thier rivals are stupid.
