Liberals, what do you dislike about Conservatives the most?

Exactly what it is.

Update:

To all the Conservatives, in case you're illiterate, my question was addressed to Liberals, not Conservatives.

    - They tend to help the rich at the expense of the poor.

    - They often adhere to bronze-age religious dogma while discouraging reason and critical thinking.

    - They view science as a means to produce technology rather than a way to learn about the universe.

    - They impose laws to restrict people's freedom to engage in activities that harm no one.

    - They tend to not care about the long-term negative consequences of their policies on the economy or the environment.

    - They often use fear tactics to scare people into supporting them.

    - They often use unethical means, such as violating people's rights or lying, when doing so is expedient to the advancement of their own agendas.

    - They tend to want tight control over the actions, words, and opinions of others.

    - They tend to prefer confrontation to negotiation.

    - They tend to address the symptoms of problems instead of their causes.

    - They tend to use equivocation, for example deliberately confusing socialism with communism, totalitarianism, or fascism.

    Need I go on? I admit that this is a bit of an exaggeration. I wish it were more of one.

    Only the ones that are all Macho and want to go to war at the drop of a hat.

    Then there are the ones that shove morality down our throats.

    I'm a good person, I help people, I don't care much about money and I think everyone should just chill and

    appreciate life.

    Being a prick 24/7 makes you kind of a Richard head. I guess that is the main difference between liberals and conservatives. The cons are always concerned with money. As long as I have my home, health, car and food, I'd be happy.

    Now, why do you hate Obama care so much?

    Sure there will be some fine tuning needed but it is a bewildering task.

    I most dislike "social conservatives."

    Their blatant and willful ignorance is dragging down this nation while the rest of us are forced to sit at the "stupid table," waiting for them to catch up. The modern world moves at such a pace that they're actually doing great harm by slowly turning us into a third world nation.

    There is more than one type of 'conservative'. I dislike some social conservative views, but not necessarily the person who holds those views..(there are people who have social conservative views in all parties and Independents also. .) Most people are not 100% conservative or 100% liberal.

    My personal biggest pet peeve about conservatives is their hypocrisy. Specifically them complaining about government to get elected, then when in office doing everything they can to create more and more problems, and then after they leave office pointing at all the problems THEY CREATED as examples of why we need less government. If they weren't US citizens, that would technically be treason.

    Being a fiscal conservative, what I dislike about Conservatives the most is their use of hate to gain votes.

    The GOP sets American against American:

    -War on Women

    -War on Education

    -War on Gays

    and on and on. Isn't it pathetic that the only way a Republican can attract a vote is to engender hate?
