20 Questions Liberals Can't Answer
Article by; John Hawkins | Apr 20, 2013
"It is not enough for the insecure left to deem a position wrong; if its merely wrong, it needs to be argued about, and it cant survive that. It must instead be morally abhorrent, so that the zealot reacts to the toxin of questioning much like a jogger coming across a decomposing body on the side of the road it must be internalized that the correct response to such a horror is to retch, and faint, and call the authorities post-haste.
This is how the leftist faith protects itself from the infection of doubt. (Meanwhile, of course, patting itself on the back for being so open-minded )
"If it were true that conservatives were racist, sexist, homophobic, fascist, stupid, inflexible, angry, and self-righteous, shouldnt their arguments be easy to deconstruct? Someone who is making a point out of anger, ideology, inflexibility, or resentment would presumably construct a flimsy argument. So why cant the argument itself be dismembered rather than the speakers personal style or hidden motives? Why the evasions?" -- Ann Coulter
Liberalism doesn't convince with logic. It can't, because the policies liberals advocate don't work. So instead, liberals have to use emotion-based ploys and attack the motives of people they disagree with while attempting to keep conservative arguments from being heard at all. Why? Because they have no good answers to questions like these.
1) A few days ago, we were hearing that the Boston Marathon bombers COULD BE conservative, which proved that the Right is evil. Now, when we know that the terrorists are Muslims, how can the same liberals be saying that it means nothing?
2) If you believe we have a "right" to things like health care, food, shelter and a good education, then doesn't that also mean you believe we also have a right to force other people to unwillingly provide those things at gunpoint?
3) How can you simultaneously want a big government that will make decisions that have an enormous impact on the lives of every American while also saying that the character and morals of our politicians don't matter?
4) What exactly is the "fair share" of someone's income that hes earned that he should be able to keep?
5) Why is it that time and time again, revenue paid to the treasury has GONE UP after we've cut taxes?
6) Are you pro-choice or pro-abortion? If it's pro-choice, do you feel people should be able to choose to have an assault weapon, what kind of light bulb they use in their house or whether they'd like to put their Social Security funds into a private retirement account?
7) If corporations are so awful, greedy and bad for the country, then shouldn't we be celebrating when they decide to close their plants here and move overseas?
8) How can liberal economists like Paul Krugman be right when they claim that our economy isn't doing well because we aren't spending enough money when we're already running massive, unsustainable deficits and spending is going up every year?
9) If Republicans dont care about the poor, why do studies consistently show that they give more to charity than Democrats do?
10) Give us a ballpark estimate: If something doesn't change dramatically, how long do you think it will be until we have an economic crash in this country similar to the one we're seeing in Greece or Cyprus?
11) Since we "all agree" with the idea that our level of deficit spending is "unsustainable," what would be wrong with permanently freezing federal spending at the current level until we balance the budget by increasing revenue, cutting spending or some combination thereof?
12) If we change God's definition of marriage to make gay marriage legal, then what's the logical argument against polygamy or even adult siblings supposed to be?
13) In a world where people can easily change states and can, with a bit more difficulty, permanently move to other roughly comparable parts of the globe, do you really think it's feasible over the long haul to have a tax system where 86% of the income taxes are paid by the top 25% of the income earners?
14) If you win a lawsuit that's filed against you, why should you have to pay huge legal bills when you did nothing wrong while the person who filed the suit pays no penalty for wrongly accusing you?
15) How can you oppose putting murderers to death and be fine with killing innocent children via abortion?
16) A minimum wage raises salaries for some workers at the cost of putting other workers out of jobs entirely. What's the acceptable ratio for that? For every 10 people who get a higher salary, how many are you willing to see lose their jobs?
17) The earth has been warming and cooling for thousands of years with temperature drops and increases that are much larger than the ones we've seen over the last century. Since we can't adequately explain or model those changes, what makes us think we can say with any sort of confidence that global warming is being caused by man?
18) We live in a world where people have more choices than ever before in music, entertainment, careers, news sources and what to do with their time. Shouldn't government mirror that trend by moving towards federalism and states rights instead of centralizing more and more power in Washington, DC?
19) If people in the middle class aren't willing to pay enough in taxes to cover the government services that they use because they don't think it's worth the money, shouldn't we prune back government to a level people do feel comfortable paying for in taxes?
20) If firms can get by with paying women 72 cents on the dollar for the same quality of work as men, then why don't we see any firms with all female labor forces using those lower costs to dominate the marketplace?
Gitzo says; it will be interesting to see some of our liberal clowns scream & yell, and try to answer any of thee questions; (I can just hear the idiot Silver, now......."it's all a load of crap".......his standard reply to anything he doesn't understand.......which takes in just about everything! )
BTW.........If you're a lib, before YOU start "screaming & yelling" about this article........please point out WHO twisted YOUR arm and MADE YOU read it? (Then go stick your finger up your nose. )
BTW # 2. You may wonder why I usually put under most articles I post, "Gitzo says"; I didn't use to do that; but you must understand, we're dealing with some very "dim bulbs" here; many of them always complained, "I can't tell where the article ends and the OP starts"; then we always have a few who complain, "all you do is copy and paste".......you never say anything "original"! To which I say........"what have YOU ever posted that was "original".....(or otherwise ) ?????? Which to me, PROVES what I'm always saying.....that libs are basically ignorant, many are downright "mentally challenged", (read: STUPID! ) And I always ask them......."you must know by now that anytime you see my little Red Fox, you're almost surely NOT going to agree with anything that I'm likely to post".........but still, you just keep coming back! I've asked that question a thousand times, and so far, not a single lib has ever answered it! Which, to me indicates that Libs are ignorant. (Or maybe they're all masochists? ) Fortunately for me, I'm not "into pain"; when I inadvertently do something that hurts, I file it away in my rather remarkable memory, and I try to never do what ever it was that "hurt" again; I tend to do then same with individuals; with people who are completely unreasonable, or who think "backwards", (ALL libs ), I go out of my way to avoid them. Some of the all-time "dimmest-bulbs" on UHH, guys like Silver, Turdlow, the "noob" who wears that ridiculous, stupid hat, "gnslgr"? ........people like that, If I ran across them in Antarctica, I wouldn't even say, Hi! What's the point? The world is full of nice people; why waste time on idiots? (Perhaps this will satisfy the idiot who is always complaining that I never say anything "original"? (I just did! )

Just be careful about #15. Very easy to ask you how you can support killing an adult human but say abortion of a non-viable fetus is wrong? I don't like either one. Do I just HAVE to support one and not the other?
#20 is just stupid.

Why don't you just say that you're against capital punishment and be done with it? BTW......I'm just FINE with executing adults who deserve it; and what's all of this B.S. about "non-viable" fetuses? (Who gets to say "who's viable, and who isn't? ) For my money, they're ALL humans.
No 20? Just because YOU say it's stupid doesn't make it stupid; Frankly, I think there are a LOT of women who are vastly overpaid; (ditto a lot of men )

I am not against capital punishment if it were applied fairly and without error. I am against it only because the system is not perfect and we have killed innocent people. It is more expensive to kill them than keep them in prison for life and I think the thought of the rest of one's life in prison must be horrible to contemplate.
No, #20 is stupid. Anyone who make more than YOU think they should make is overpaid, I suppose.
I am NOT in favor of abortion. I just think the government should butt out. But of course republicans like limited government unless it is about sex. :-)

Gitzo,
Congratulations on making up these questions.
I can tell they're actually yours because they make no sense.
BTW, Obamacare covers treatment for mental health issues.

Same here. I was ambivalent about the death penalty when I realized the enormous number of innocent people who had been executed and were on death row. for me the tipping point was the number of innocent people on death row in Illinois, which in 1999 prompted Governor George Ryan to put a moratorium on executions, and in 2003 to commute 160 death sentences to life in prison. Mistakes are unavoidable in any system, but they are too frequent in American criminal justice to take a chance with people's lives.

It bothers me the level of anger in America today.
Different opinions and approaches and religious freedom
are why our ancestors came to the new world.
The angry tone of your questions suggest that you
don't have an open mind. Listening to other people's idea's
have enriched my life. I suggest that when you are finished
with Ann Coulter's ranting books you read a bio of Thomas
Jefferson. There are a number of good ones.

You DO REALIZE that Thomas Jefferson was a conservative and YES one of the FIRST members of what would later become the Republican Party.
Does that change your opinion of his writings?

you couldn't be more accurate about these idiotic questions each based on absurd premises..The nature of the questions do point out the mentality that exists in the extremes of the Republican party.That is why they are falling apart ..there are rational conservatives but they have to serve this idiotic wing that has no ability to think through real issues.

Yep - I used to be a Republican, but flakes like Gitzo drove me out. I'm not a Democrat either - they have their own cadre of crackpots.
