Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Do you post questions on this site that are insulting to the opposite political party?

Do you really think you are helping anybody by your rhetoric?

Do you realize that Liberalism and Conservatism are just general ideologies and PEOPLE just lean one way or another. What is your goal? To alienate the half of America that belongs to a different political party? To add to the anger that has triggered the nutcases in this country to flip out?

What is your goal?

Update:

You are dilusional if you think the obnoxious questions are limited to one side of the aisle. Here's what you're missing. You use the term Liberal and Conservative as though it's a gene that people are born with. I LEAN liberal, but I have issues where I lean conservative as well. I think for myself and don't pick my side of the issue simply because some political pundit tells me that this is where you stand on each issue. From my vantage point, it appears that the most obnoxiuos questions come from the least educated people. (or maybe just stupid people that happen to have educations)

    The few questions I have asked do concern the mindset of the Republicans here.

    Because I really am curious as to the how and why of their over-the-top characterizations of the Obama administration, their use of the words Messiah, and their idea that he is in some way taking some kind of 'power' over them. And their use of the contradictory term Marxist/communist/socialist/fascist all at the same time to describe him.

    I wonder why they can't make their point without going to extremes.

    But I don't insult them, call them names or insist they are stupid or idiots.

    My goal has mostly been to try and get some insight in what other things they think would work, in regard to health care, or welfare. I'm sorry to say I don't really get responsible answers, but that, sadly, is what happens here. So just enjoy this for what it is and if you find a more intelligent forum, please let me know.

    The Q&A layout encourages this style of conduct, mainly among the ones with out ligitimate questions. It is a favourite tactic that the trolls and sockpuppets use. It's like asking "Do you continue to beat your spouse/husband/kids?" Fortunatly, there are well persons of all political persuations in this board that experience the intelligence to peer by way of this style of factor and will furnish good idea out solutions as good as put up high-quality questions. These are those that preserve me coming again, a minimum of till the trolls have me tossed out.

    Well as a black who has served in the the Air Force and used the G.I.Bill to get a college degree.I am happy to say that I am a conservative and have been one for nearly 40 years . My biggest problem with liberalism is that they feel as long as you have a large pct.of the people beholden to them to sit on their butt and get well fed a roof over their heads and now free health care they will keep getting elected..but what about me I joined the service at 17 years old served in Nam.came home and was spit on by these same liberal who for the next 40 years gave nearly half my pay check to pay for the food and homes to my relatives and friends who never tried to do anything but collect a check . please do not get me wrong the System has help plenty of people but it has more freeloader then anything else ,Now as a retired worker and vet this health care is just another slap is my face, Yes I hate liberals but I do not feel like killing anyone ,I do not believe this young man was driven by politics , he was just a mentally ill person ,Do not make this more then it was .If we do not like what you say politically we vote you out like in Nov..

    Nope, but I do enjoy answering those loaded question. Sometimes I get the thumbs down for it, but really, my answers seldom exceed the intelligence of the question asked.

    I do, mostly for kicks. I don't think Yahoo Answers really helps anyone.

    Well I call the Republican Party the party of the fading generation with dated ways and old fears. Not really to insult but to point out the demographics of the party and how behind they are. oops I did it again. Sorry.

    I can't help if conservatism offends liberals. I'm not going to change my beliefs to be politically correct and sensitive to their feelings.

    No I don't. I ask/answer questions with facts and logic. Liberals take it as an insult because it's beyond their intelligence. My goal is to show them they are wrong but then they play the race card and I lose.
