I have always been pretty conservative, but I hate some things about (some) conservatives:
1. Religion-- uber-conservatives think you can't do anything because it might tick God off. If God does exist, do you really think he'd care about us? The earth is an insignificant speck of dust compared to the Universe as a whole. And I really hate the people who think they won their soccer game because they prayed and then Jesus helped them out. And religion leads into several other things, like...
2. Stem-cell research-- "Hey everybody, let's not help people who are suffering because God wouldn't like it."
3. Evolution-- "According to the Bible, the earth is 6000 years old. Also, God created man in his own image. So evolution is wrong." So, um... where's the proof that the Bible is right? There's extensive scientific proof for evolution. Oh... sorry... I forgot that the proof for the Bible's correctness is right there in the Bible itself... how could I have missed that?
4. Unregulated big business-- "Hey everybody, let's destroy the environment because a few rich guys need to make a few extra bucks." I'm definitely a capitalist and don't mind if people are uber-rich, but making $5 extra at the expense of posterity is ridiculous.
5. Lack of open-mindedness-- "The Bible tells us everything we need to know, so who needs science?" Not that all liberals are open-minded either, as they can be just as militant as any conservative.
Now for some things I hate about liberals:
1. Equality-- "Everyone is equal because the Declaration of Independence said so, and 250 year-old documents are our god." Not everyone is equal. Inequality shouldn't be based on the color of your skin, but it should be based on certain other factors. It's an obvious fact that some people are idiots. Some people are fat and nearly have a heart attack walking down the hall at school. Some people have brains that function properly, but they are too ignorant to use their brains to do something productive. They'd rather be lazy and waste valuable resources that could be going to advancing society. Is it fair that these clearly unequal people deserve to vote and decide who will be running our nation? Most of them don't vote anyway, but they shouldn't even have the opportunity to screw up our country more than it already is.
2. Welfare-- People who don't do anything productive don't deserve money. It's that simple. How many people do you see who you know are on welfare, but are wearing expensive (not necessarily nice-looking) clothes and listening to rap 'music' on their iPod? Obviously, spending your welfare check on a sound system for your car that costs more than the car itself is a productive use of taxpayers' money.
Some things depend on the situation, like...
Abortion-- Conservatives get all bent out of shape because a crack baby is getting aborted, yet they support capital punishment. I support capital punishment too, but if the mother wants to get rid of that crack baby now, that's one less execution we'll have to spend money on later. Liberals, meanwhile, claim that abortion should be a choice. I have a better solution: it's called a condom. The richy-rich girls who go out and get knocked up shouldn't be allowed to get an abortion simply because it's more convenient than having the baby. If nothing else, they should be forced to have the baby as a means of punishment. If you can't handle the responsibilities of having a baby, don't get pregnant. There are other better forms of birth control out there than abortion.
So basically, I would support a candidate who is not Giuliani.
