Default This thread is about how conservatives debate in a belligerent way.

Have you ever noticed on this forum, others like it, or even on the political stage that conservatives tend to ignore logic while making their points?

Many times, it is not important to them what you say, but rather that their often untrue viewpoint seems to be the loudest. I like to call it belligerence, and am wondering if anyone else has noticed it.

That is ridiculous! You know, Why do I even bother! You are all commies and the world would be better off if you were all dead!!

Anyone who thinks that behavior comes from only one side is either lying to himself, lying to others, or both.

You call it belligerence, I call it "stealing a page out of the James Carville playbook"...

This is a biased, and hypocritical thread. BOTH sides are guilty of being belligerant. Just peruse a certain social groups on this site, to get my meaning. Some of the things said, are downright appalling.

There is something about the anonymity of the web that brings out the worst in some folks. Many people, conservative and liberal alike, say things on an internet message forum that they would never say in a face to face debate. It is astounding at times.

The way I see it, conservatives understand liberal thought. Liberals fail to understand conservative thought.

Did you notice, you just made an irrational hostile post, complaining how the people not like you are irrational and hostile? I am guessing you didn't.
