Whether it's illegal immigration (brown people), terrorists (brown people) or Obama (a brown person), that conservatives get such a thrill out of being such bigots? Only serious answers please!

It follows that racists would be conservative. Conservatives, by definition, want to preserve society and even go back to the past. They oppose progressive philosophies and liberalism. But it does not follow that all conservatives are bigots. It also does not mean that all liberals are in favor of integration. There are a lot of private country clubs with a predominantly liberal membership that do not admit persons of color as members. There are also a few black conservatives. As wealth becomes more equally distributed among the races, you may see this distinction disappear.

Serious answers you say ... who made you judge and jury?

How dare you put labels on anyone.



I don't judge terrorists by the color of their skin. Can you answer this, why do terrorist kill anyone that gets in their way? For Gods sakes, do you think they're thinking about the color of someones skin? Oh, you think it's our troops who have a problem about skin color when they're trying to stay alive to see the next day. In the heat of battle, how absurd to even think conservitive. Maybe you would like to be brought back to base camp in a body bag. Then you can tell their families, that they are too conservative.



Man, where's your head at. If this has anything to do with politics, then I suggest you get our of the game. If not, get off whatever high you're on.

All? So the Nazi's were conservatives? I didn't know that. And the Black Panthers, they were conservatives? Sorry, but racists come in all shapes, colors and creeds. And most would be considered radicals, not conservatives.



I don't like illegal immigration. I have no problem with immigration, it's following the law that I require.



I don't like terrorists. White, brown, green. I don't care. You pose a threat to the safety of me and my family, I don't like you. So whether you are Al Quaida, or Timothy McVeigh- makes no difference.



I'm not a fan of Obama because I think he is too liberal. He wants to change everything. I'm not saying things don't need to be changed, but I want details on how he plans to change it, not just saying it needs to be changed. I don't care if he is white, black or green. I don't agree with him on policy and procedure, plain and simple.

Honey, the only person I see who's thinking about color is you. I personally don't favor illegal immigration, terrorists, and I don't agree with Obama's policies but it is not because of skin color. Do me, this world and yourself a favor and get a life and stop trying to find reasons to feel sorry for yourself.

Then how do you explain black/brown conservatives? I'm south asian/ hispanic and I'm a libertarian. Libertarians have a lot in common with TRUE conservatives. The socialists(democrats) have always been the racists. It just isn't perceived that way. Affirmative action is racist. Its a handout and an insult to people who work hard to achieve something. They are chosen based on what they are (something they have no control over) instead of their achievements.

WARNING! MEANINGLESS GENERALIZATION ALERT!



First of all, illegal immigration has nothing to do with the color of a person's skin. Those of us who oppose illegal immigration oppose it whether the illegal alien CRIMINALS come from Mexico, Ireland, or Canada for that matter. Where is the racism in that?



We oppose terrorists because terrorists chose to engage in a cowardly campaign of aggression, not against our military, but against over 3,000 innocent civilians. Recognizing the threat of terrorism has nothing to do with race. Where is the racism in that?



We oppose Mr. Obama because his campaign is completely devoid of substance, becuase he lacks real leadership capability... in short, because he is not the best choice to lead this nation. Where is the racism in that?



Now then... if you knew history, you'd know that the Republican party, the party which has traditionally (though not in recent days) held the Conservative view, was started here in Michigan as a party of ABOLITIONISTS. Abolitionists, since you seem to have so little knowledge of history, were those who, whether they lived in the North, South, or West, opposed slavery and worked to see it ended. Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, is the man who is credited with ending slavery here in Michigan.



So, to repeat the beginning of my post:

WARNING! MEANINGLESS GENERALIZATION ALERT!

This is one of the most ridiculous questions. Why is this coming up so much? I'm not voting for Barack because I don't agree with his views. Condi Rice, Colin Powell- I'd so vote for either of them! They're very amazing people.

Illegal immigration is not being racist. They are ILLEGAL. They are not supposed to be in this country because they did not get the proper papers to do so. Why should they get over here the easy way when my relatives, along with many others, had to go through all the paperwork? Please stop stereotyping, because it honestly makes you look very uneducated.

PUH-LEEZ! If anything you can say that "conservatives" are just more up front about it.



With Liberals its a lot of talking down to and trying to make others feel that they are helping you by singling you out as different.

What A CROCK!



I personally am not a racist.

Obama is more of a burnt Sienna color anyway!

(look in your crayon boxes people. its a joke)

So you're FOR illegal immigration? You're in favor of terrorists? I believe in the law (immigration) and in national safety.



Do you REALLY think that I am racist because I think Obama would be a horrible choice? It's not his his skin color, but his VIEWS.

What about Sen. Robert KKK Byrd?

What about Jessie Jackson?

What about Louis Farrakhan

The list goes on and on dude

Stop being an idiot and using the term Racists to fit your Ideology. Your cheapening that word. The more you use it the more you cry wolf

I'd give you a serious answer if I thought that this was a serious question.



But I'll try anyway.



Let's see...



Protecting your countries culture, labor market, and social values is not racist.



Preventing passenger plans from killing another 4,000+ people is not racist.



Keeping a leftist populist demigogue from stealing our government is not racist.





But, as always, the left always has to resort to to demonizing the right with ad-hominem attacks because they can't constructively debate and logically support their positions.





Let's keep America safe. Together, we can!

Oh,so Monster Farrakhan is a conservative?...wow...you learn something new every day on Yahoo Q&A...

Excuse me....The Conservatives are not the ones who are the racist. It is the Liberal Democrats. Always has been, they were the ones against Civil Rights, the Republicans were for it. Today look at the behavior of the Clintons towards Obama. The Clintons are racists liberals.

Conservatives are not racist and the liberals use this myth, twisted by the media to their advantage to get votes from the "brown people" as you so eloquently put it.

Remember, there were Nazis who did escape punishment and imprisonment, and of course the Zionists who secretly helped financed the Nazis to construct the gas chambers. They and their decendants are somewhere... including USA. They know how to pay for their way around...
