10 questions to ask a LIBERAL

From "The Young Conservatives"


10. How many people should we let into this country? Liberals want amnesty for the 11-20 million illegal aliens currently living in America. Let’s say that happens, then what? Do we grant amnesty to the next 20 million illegals that come looking for a better life? There are over 7 billion people on the planet, most of which would certainly have a better life if they moved to the US. I’ll ask again: how many of these people should we let immigrate to our country?

9. How are rules that apply equally to everyone discriminatory and racist? Liberals say that everything from the justice system to education is racist. They whine that voting laws that apply to everyone equally are somehow discriminatory. Why? I have no idea. If everyone is playing by the same rules there is no disputing that the playing field is level.

8. How are rules that only apply to one group of people not discriminatory and racist?Affirmative Action set quotas for minorities in hiring and college admissions. Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper program gives funds and opportunities to people of color. There are literally hundreds of liberal programs available to minorities only. Do not disadvantaged white people deserve the same help?

7. Do you know what a pyramid scheme is? Wikipedia tells us: A pyramid scheme is an unsustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public. The people at the bottom of the pyramid do all of the paying and never reap any benefits. Sounds an awful lot like ObamaCare, doesn’t it? In the private sector a pyramid scheme is fraud but when the government does it it’s called progress.

6. Why is it okay to kill unborn children but wrong to kill convicted murderers? Liberals love abortion but hate the death penalty. Seems a little hypocritical since both involve the taking of a human life. The only difference is, unborn children haven’t viciously murdered anyone. Why do liberals deem the life of a killer more important that that of an innocent child?

5. How does stagnating growth stimulate the economy? High taxes and needless regulations are two things liberal lawmakers can’t get enough of. They are also the two things that hurt business growth the most. I don’t know if the libs are aware of this, but businesses are those things that give people jobs. When people have jobs, they have money to spend. Our economy grows when more people have jobs and spend money. This is not my opinion; it’s a fact.

4. Does it make sense to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result?The social safety net, which includes welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and a whole host of liberal entitlements, has failed in its stated goal to pull people out of poverty. Instead, these programs have had the opposite effect, creating generations of people that are utterly dependant on government handouts. If these programs don’t work, why should we continue them? Do liberals think that they’re bound to work eventually? Even worse, they want to expand these failed programs. Now that really is the definition of insanity.

3. How will punishing law-abiding people stop criminals from breaking the law? Every liberal gun control law either passed or proposed places arbitrary restrictions on law-abiding citizens. These laws don’t apply to criminals because, by their very nature, they don’t follow laws. If someone is going to commit a murder or assault, do you think they care if their weapon of choice isn’t compliant to the local ordinance? No one has ever said, “I was going to rob that liquor store but the only gun I have holds more than seven rounds and that’s illegal in New York.”

2. How can you count to ten if you skip the number two? The first ten amendments of the US Constitution are known as the Bill Of Rights. These enumerated rights were laid down by our Founding Fathers because they felt each of them was essential to ensure we live in a free society. Liberals are enamored with all of them except the 2nd, which guarantees our right to keep and bear arms. They say all of the other amendments confer individual rights, yet claim the 2ndAmendment is a collective right that allows only the government to possess arms. Why would the Framers list 9 individual rights, and one government right? Liberals also don’t seem to understand that the 2nd Amendment protects all the others. Tyrants can’t take speech and voting rights away from an armed populace.

1. Why was George W. Bush a bad President but Barack Obama is a good one? To liberals, George W. Bush was the Devil incarnate. Their biggest beefs were the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the bank bailout, and Guantanamo Bay torture. When Obama took office he escalated the war in Afghanistan, gave even bigger bailouts, and after 5 years in office still hasn’t closed Guantanamo Bay. On top of that, Obama ignores the Constitution, spies on every single American, kills women and children with drone strikes, and has saddled the country with a health care law that will bankrupt the middle class and require an insurance company bailout of epic proportions. I’d say, even to liberals, Bush Jr. looks pretty good by comparison.

10. How many people should we let into this country? Liberals want amnesty for the 11-20 million illegal aliens currently living in America. Let’s say that happens, then what? Do we grant amnesty to the next 20 million illegals that come looking for a better life? There are over 7 billion people on the planet, most of which would certainly have a better life if they moved to the US. I’ll ask again: how many of these people should we let immigrate to our country?


Don't know. Both sides have pretty much screwed the pouch on this one. Why is it that conservatives have such a problem with immigration now, but seem to have given a pass to republican presidents. Bearing in mind that more illegals have been set home during Obama's administration than previous presidents.


9. How are rules that apply equally to everyone discriminatory and racist? Liberals say that everything from the justice system to education is racist. They whine that voting laws that apply to everyone equally are somehow discriminatory. Why? I have no idea. If everyone is playing by the same rules there is no disputing that the playing field is level.


Rules should be applied equally, to everyone.


8. How are rules that only apply to one group of people not discriminatory and racist?Affirmative Action set quotas for minorities in hiring and college admissions. Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper program gives funds and opportunities to people of color. There are literally hundreds of liberal programs available to minorities only. Do not disadvantaged white people deserve the same help?


In some ways those rules are discriminatory. Unfortunately, those laws were also needed to stop people from discriminating against certain races, religions, sexual orientations, etc.


7. Do you know what a pyramid scheme is? Wikipedia tells us: A pyramid scheme is an unsustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public. The people at the bottom of the pyramid do all of the paying and never reap any benefits. Sounds an awful lot like ObamaCare, doesn’t it? In the private sector a pyramid scheme is fraud but when the government does it it’s called progress.


Don't believe your analogy is correct. Americans need a change in the insurance and medical industries. Obamacare is not the answer. Doing nothing was a worse choice. The system is broken, we need to fix it. What is the conservative's answer to the growing problem? So far it seems to be waste more time/money trying to repeal an established law, but never providing any real solutions.


6. Why is it okay to kill unborn children but wrong to kill convicted murderers? Liberals love abortion but hate the death penalty. Seems a little hypocritical since both involve the taking of a human life. The only difference is, unborn children haven’t viciously murdered anyone. Why do liberals deem the life of a killer more important that that of an innocent child?


Again, bad analogy. First off, I doubt that you'll find anyone who "loves" abortion. What you will find is some folks who recognize that there are cases where abortion is the best choice. For example, insest, rape, life of the woman. I would have no problem with changes so that, unless there were extenuating circumstances, abortion could not be conducted after a certain length of time. Aborting a fetus within the first trimester, for example, should be an adequate time frame to make the decision. The use of the term "unborn children" is also misleading.


One could also ask conservatives why they put a fetus rights over those of the mother. Doesn't the mother have rights too? And why no comments on the father? Took two to produce the fetus, both should have a role.


As far as death penalty, mixed feelings on that one. I agree that, in certain cases, there are people who have committed crimes so heinous that we do not want them around. I also recognize that there are currently innocent people on death row. Putting those people to death is not right.


5. How does stagnating growth stimulate the economy? High taxes and needless regulations are two things liberal lawmakers can’t get enough of. They are also the two things that hurt business growth the most. I don’t know if the libs are aware of this, but businesses are those things that give people jobs. When people have jobs, they have money to spend. Our economy grows when more people have jobs and spend money. This is not my opinion; it’s a fact.


Regulation is needed in some cases to protect the people. Get rid of all regulation and businesses will do whatever they want as long as it increases profits. As an example, look at eastern KY prior to the coal regs being enforced. For years many streams in eastern KY ran black with coal run off. Add some regs and those same streams are coming back.


Why do conservatives continue to put the profits of large corporations over that of the well-being of the rest of the country?


4. Does it make sense to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result?The social safety net, which includes welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and a whole host of liberal entitlements, has failed in its stated goal to pull people out of poverty. Instead, these programs have had the opposite effect, creating generations of people that are utterly dependant on government handouts. If these programs don’t work, why should we continue them? Do liberals think that they’re bound to work eventually? Even worse, they want to expand these failed programs. Now that really is the definition of insanity.


No it doesn't make sense. We do need some type of reform. Welfare, etc, was intended to be safety net for when people needed a helping hand to get them back on their feet. It should not be set up so that people can stay on it for life. There are exceptions, for example, a soldier who was disabled defending this country I expect to help out for life. Someone who is just too lazy to work, let them starve for a while until they get over that laziness. Obviously, there should be limits on any of these programs and those who are caught abusing the system should have to pay every bit back and never be allowed in the system again.


3. How will punishing law-abiding people stop criminals from breaking the law? Every liberal gun control law either passed or proposed places arbitrary restrictions on law-abiding citizens. These laws don’t apply to criminals because, by their very nature, they don’t follow laws. If someone is going to commit a murder or assault, do you think they care if their weapon of choice isn’t compliant to the local ordinance? No one has ever said, “I was going to rob that liquor store but the only gun I have holds more than seven rounds and that’s illegal in New York.”

For 2 and 3, I have no problem with people owning guns.

I’d say, even to liberals, Bush Jr. looks pretty good by comparison.


Actually, they both suk. Obama ended up being too similar to Bush. The legacy of both will be mediocre presidents who served during trying times.

Those are pretty good. I will say that the one on regulation has affected me personally. My buddy and I were going to start a business just for the summer. We had planned to hire a couple of people to help us out. After contacting the officials, they sent us 12 pages of rules and regulations. After reading it thoroughly, I decided that it wasn't worth it. Having any government on your back like that just isn't worth it. Nope, not going to do it. Not going to hire anyone either. Wont add to the local economy that's for sure.

Yeah, adding people to a payroll when you first start out is not easy. Also problems with insurance and such. The amount of paper work associated with a small business is a pain. Part of what I hate about doing a side business with plugs. Sure you guys experience the same with quarterly 720 forms and such.

12 pages of regs! I'm sure they can think of more. :rolleyes: So explain to me how this is good for our economy? It isn't. Let people work is all I ask. Tired of jumping through hoops.
