Why do most conservatives hate human beings?

[Cyrano]

Most conservatives, from Limbaugh and Hannity, to Morning Joe and Charlie Gibson must really hate our guts.

These are people who are drooling at the thought of Obama and the "stimulus" package failing. Well, if it fails, we the people, all of us, are screwed beyond belief.

We will find out what our parents, grandparents, and/or great grandparents went through during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Hell, we're currently teetering on the very edge of that terrifying cliff.

Yet, every single day, we see conservatives on TV and hear them on the radio telling us that Obama is garbage and so is his agenda.

How dare they? How dare they??? After the eight years of hell that put us here, they have the nerve to bitch, moan and criticize? Damn them. Damn them all to the deepest, darkest corner of the worst Hell imaginable.

At this point, there's something wrong with any conscious, aware human being who doesn't despise conservatives and the daily diet of rat poison they're peddling.

1. Kind of 'chicken and egg': Hating humans is what MAKES them conservatives

Not trying to be funny or snarky.

The people who don't believe in real freedom, in fairness, in sharing, in reducing corruption, etc, etc, have gathered together under the banner of conservatism.

How did they get to be the worthless fucks that they are in the first place? I won't mention any names, I'll just look at the pulpit and whistle.

15. Where is sharing in the Constitution?eom

[FiveGoodMen]

17. What in the world motivated that question?

I didn't bring the constitution into this conversation.

What are you really up to here?

[reggie the dog]

19. where does the constitution forbid sharing?

[Yavin4]

25. Check the Preamble

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


To accomplish all of that some sharing is involved. 'Promoting the general Welfare' does not mean that only some people are filthy rich and everyone else is dirt poor.

[Ikonoklast]

43. Read it.

You should know that the Constitution promotes a social agenda, as well as individual rights, for the citizens of this country.

Fielding a standing army is part of 'sharing'.

But you already knew that, didn't you.

[roguevalley]

30. they hate what they can never be. ;)

[Dulcinea]

37. Insecurity.

They're afraid someone else will have as much as they do, and they feel they deserve more than everyone else. I know one conservative whose whole existence is predicated on being a "have" & feeling superior to the "have-nots."

[Lerkfish]

2. simplest answer: because its a group to which they do not belong.

[Voltaire]

3. I normally try not to paint groups with the same brush

but conservatives are evil slime. That is not hyperbole. The only thing they are consistent at in any situation is doing the most inhuman thing possible. I cannot turn the other cheek with them. I cannot talk to them. I cannot listen to them. In fact, change all those cannots to WILL nots.

I want my country back. I want my President to ignore them and get on with our business. I want, if possible, the complete and utter destruction of the Republican Party, by any means legal, peaceful, and necessary.

[lib_wit_it]

8. Le the legal, peaceful, necessary revolution begin. Billions needed.

[rucky]

4. They have to bring others down to feel good about themselves. n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

11. Winnar! n/t

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. Self loathing. They hate themselves.

[Mari333]

6. because they hate themselves. nt

[Incitatus]

7. They want Obama to fail because they know if he succeeds, they are fucked.

And it will be a very long time before they regain control of any branch of the government.

[Cyrano]

10. I guess they just can't grasp the fact that if

Obama fails, there probably won't be much of anything left to "gain control of."

What do they think will remain after failure? Just how much do they think there is that can be wrung out of a broken banana republic?

[Triana]

16. BINGO! That's it. n/t

[Middle finga]

9. They are really a peculiar bunch

They seem to be for all things dark, evil and cruel. They seem to love wars, they support torture, they love the death penalty, they would rather burn their money than to help a poor person, they don't want any regulation of guns, conservatives were the ones who supported slavery and jim Crow.

[Cyrano]

14. You've go to admit they're consistent.

Conservatives, (whether they were called Democrats in the 19th century or Republicans in the 20th century), have always been on the wrong side of history.

Regardless of their political title, they are those who had, have and always will have the mindset of what we currently call conservatives. At least we call them that when we're being polite. At other times, the kindest thing we call them is wingnuts. I won't even begin to list the worst things we call them.

I don't know whether their mindset is due to stupidity, greed, or both. But I often wonder if they are genetically a part of the same species as (so-called) normal people.

[riqster]

12. They only hate post-born humans

...if you're unborn, they love you.

[anonymous171]

13. The GOP's ideology is fearful and reactionary. nt

[Cyrano]

31. And dangerous to the survival of the human race

[reggie the dog]

18. because they are heartless assholes

[rudy23]

20. They see life as a very literal competition between humans for food and resources.

They don't have that part of their brains that things about what's good for civilization, or the greater good. They are self-interest machines, and they think we're naive for not playing the same base, primitive game that they do.

And this isn't just ugly Dick Cheney types, this would include otherwise nice soccer moms, churchgoers, and law abiding citizens. You can go really far in life if you just follow rules and traditions, and aren't in a position to where your Hitler-lite conservative views get out of hand.

[Cyrano]

22. You make a very good point

I don't know if all conservatives think that way (either consciously or subconsciously) but it sure as hell applies to many of them with whom I've personally come into contact.

Many others are nothing more than dupes who have bought into a wagon load of crap. It sounds good to them, and they just don't have the intelligence or imagination to follow it through to its logical conclusion.

[AndrewP]

21. They've got theirs. They disdain you for wanting yours.

Even if "getting yours" is as basic as getting healthcare and a living wage.

[nichomachus]

23. The new Obama health initiative will specify

that conservatives be used in research instead of the traditional lab rats. There are several reasons for this:

1. The lab assistants were becoming very attached to their little rats. This emotional involvement was interfering with the research being conducted. No such attachment could form for a conservative.

2. Conservatives are in much greater supply.

3. Conservatives are much cheaper to care for and liberals won't jump all over you no matter what you're studying.

4. There are some things even a rat won't do.

[Cyrano]

24. It'll never work. Lab rats can figure out how to find the cheese without

stealing it from another lab rat.

[Yavin4]

26. Conservatives Are The Public Policy Arm for Corporatism

They exist solely for the benefit of fighting for the wealthy and large corporations.

[Cyrano]

28. Corporatism doesn't seem to be doing too well with none of us buying anything.

Do you suppose our "Masters of the Universe" will ever figure out that in screwing us, they've screwed themselves?

For all the multi billions they've stolen, what are they going to buy with it if the world economy collapses? Suppose the end-game of their greed results in a "Mad Max" wasteland? Were that to happen, we'd really be back to the survival of the fittest. And the fittest won't necessarily be the richest.

The only part of such a scenario that I could enjoy would be picturing Rush Limbaugh being someone's bitch and riding behind his master on a motorcycle.

[Yavin4]

32. Yes, But They're Still Rich

They don't feel the effects of a down economy because they're not even in it. Their incomes doubled during the Bush years, and they made more money than they could ever spend in their lifetimes.

In fact, these are good times to them. Asset prices are falling. Labor costs are declining worldwide.

[newtothegame]

27. How dare they? Is that a real question? What exactly are the consequences of them "daring to?" n/t

[Cyrano]

29. See post #28

[KamaAina]

33. Most?

Which ones don't? :shrug:

[Marcus Fenix]

34. ...

hold on there, sure politically sure they have our guts, but personally I am sure that they don't. They have all the right to complain and if you don't like you don't have to listen.

[Cyrano]

38. Actually, we do have to listen because they own almost

every media outlet there is. In case you haven't heard of it, it's called the right-wing echo chamber.

And as far as their right to complain? -- They put us in the hole we're in and now they're bitching because Obama is trying to build a ladder to get us out? That really gives hypocrisy a bad name.

[Marcus Fenix]

44. ..

maybe radio and fox news, but most of the media is not conservative.

so what?? its there right to say what ever they want and if they want to complain no one can tell them that they can not.

[4lbs]

35. Many rich conservatives got that way by selling out and not caring about anyone but themselves.

Since it was sooooo easy for them, they are dumbfounded that everyone doesn't do it.

[barbtries]

36. i agree

and i would like to see this plastered across every newspaper in the country, read on the air on every tv news program, aired on every radio station...

just think about it, it's true. it's like they're screaming the bastards didn't go off the cliff fast enough.

[mwb970]

39. Heck, why do they hate women? Minorities? Gays? Immigrants? Our *troops*?

As far as I can tell, conservatives hate everyone who isn't identical to them. It's like Jon S said, "Republicans love America, they just hate half of the people who live here." So true.

And where has this explosion of hate and fear landed the party? Shrieking in impotent rage from their twin redoubts, the backwards South and the Mormon West. Five states have a majority of Republican voters now.

The Limbaugh-Palin-Plumber Party speaks primarily for old, uneducated, straight white evangelical males in rural areas of the South. How they can ever again gain national power, starting their rebuilding from this wretched "base", is beyond me.

[Marcus Fenix]

45. hold on

there is no party that hates women, minorities, gays, immigrants, or our troops. This questions why do you hate Republicans so much???

the reason that the republican party is falling apart is that conservatives have stopped voting republican either voting democrats or just not voting.

[barbtries]

40. checking out this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4987980

i just had to come and give this one another kick. how dare they indeed, but motherfucker they sure do dare and dare and dare.

[aldo]

41. Maybe because they're lizard people?

[stuntcat]

42. and they hate animals even worse
