And the Good Samaritan helped ONE person, well within his resources. He was not faced with helping orders of magnitude more people to the same degree.

Excellent! Thanks for posting.

I had a lib friend tell me, recently, that Jesus was a socialist.

I would love to see this author’s answer to that one!

Why don’t conservatives seem to give a damn about climate change?

Because it is merely a stalking horse for socialism.

Because such rhetorical questions are weaponized by Leftists. They’re not in search of enlightenment, they’re a form of accusation; that the question is asked _at_all_ deliberately demeans (at least in the Left’s eyes) the person being questioned.

And because real journalists, who would actually ask such questions you suggest, were never allowed anywhere close enough to actually ask Obama et al such relevant questions.

Why are conservatives anti-progress?

My answer?

Whose definition of "progress" are we using?

Or perhaps..."because algore lives in a 45,000 sq ft "bungalow" that uses more energy in a week than my home uses in a year".

“The Good Samaritan....He did so out of his own free will and used only his own resources”

He also didn’t bring the guy into his own home. He bought him a room at a hotel.

No question is stupid and misinformed they may be, but their questions are what they are concerned about and believe in.

I think it was a great thing for Kaslin to do. Open dialogue, honest questions from Americans that were answered honestly.

And no one got beat up or shot over it. THIS kind of exchanged is what makes America great.

Ben nailed it in post 17. These liberal questions are designed to start an argument and further divide and separate themselves from normal Americans.

These are not honest questions. Do you think the authors answers will change even one liberal mind?

“Gee. Maybe I’ve been wrong about Climate Change.”

lolol Never happen.

To complicated or to sophisticated for you, isn’t it?

What is up with the obsession some conservatives have with cuckoldry?

The author's answer was bull stuff. The reason why cuckoldry resonates with conservatives is the fact that the republican party has for decades promised a plethora of conservative actions and delivered very, very few. That has made conservatives cuckolds, and we don't like it.

Oh, it goes farther than just failure to act. The truth is that most Republicans, for decades, have not only failed to fight against the left-wingers, but they have caved and conceded in virtually everything, almost as if they enjoy being submissive. Their approach really is not unlike a man breaking into a couple's home and shouting "I'm going to f*** your wife!" and the husband saying. "Whoa! Can't you just make love to her?" Hence the term cuckold.
