I've been told by two of our most prominent Republican posters that I simply am ignorant of the situation that is going on in the world today, in response to questions such as these. Neither of them cared to explain why or in what fashion I was ignorant.

So I thought I would give them a brand new thread in which to do so. There should be easy and straightforward answers to each one of those questions, if those on the Right 'truly' understand the complicated geopolitical situation we are in better than I.

Cyclo, This one on your list has me stumped: How do we plan to pay off our mounting debts and lower deficits in the face of reduced taxation?

Your "how does gay marriage harm anyone?" is a question that's never asked or answered. They only respond with "marriage is for a man and a woman." Why?

Thanks, I left out an 'our.' It should read:

They would simply contend, straightfaced no less, that when Tom marries Frank, the moral fabric of society begins to crumble and then Frank and Tom will fight for their right to include Billy the Goat in their union....after their debauch tires, they will begin to prey on young children.

Much of the conservative "logic" surrounding moral issues lay on a foundation of the slippery slope.

It's just amazing to me that a large number of Republican positions do not have a foundation in questions which can, in fact, be answered; but instead break completely under examination.

A favorite tactic is to turn the situation around on the Dem who is asking, and demand their solution to these problems, in order to begin discussing the problems with the Dem solutions. But this is just another example of the Republican mantra:

Even Bush's campaign rhetoric includes "you can't trust democrats to fight terrorism." That takes a lot of chutzpah when one considers how Bush has increased terrorism around the world, but especially in Iraq and Afghanistan where we've been fighting for longer than WWII, and these bunglers still don't have a goal or solution - while situations worsen by the day. What ever happened to the American brain?

That the conservative MO seems to be to have the Dems provide solutions to problems they never would have waded into in the first place is troubling.
Although the republicans seem to deny that a democrat can ever hold office, 2008 may be the year they see it happen. If a dem takes the presidency, they will have one hell of a mess to pull America out of...many of them listed in the initial post.

What will become of the perception of a Democrat President who finds him/herself in the unenviable position of trying to reclaim America? Anything short of a colossal miracle will be regarded as a failure in spite of being behind the 8-ball from jump.

Come on, Republicans and Conservatives, you cowards! Respond to easy questions that you continually portray yourself as being knowledgable about.

I'm going to keep bumping this until one of the Warmongers has the balls to step up to the plate and show us why we should keep them in control of our country.

Cycloptichorn, I'll be happy to accept your invitation and participate in this thread. Cool

I've printed out your questions for my study. After a quick scan, I already anticipate I'll have to slightly modify some of the questions so I can answer them.

For example:

Your question is--

What is the plan for winning the war on terror?

Since I don't know the answer to this question as it is worded, with your approval I'll answer it as I have reworded it--

What is a plan for winning the war on terror?

I owe you one other comment. I am not a Republican. I am a republican. I do not belong to any institutionalized or organized group. Instead, I generally find myself supporting the least worst member of two or more groups institutionalized or organized to achieve a particular set of goals.

I believe a true republic is a state in which its laws prohibit minorities from discriminating against the rights of majorities, and in which its laws prohibit majorities from discriminating against the rights of minorities.

Cycloptichorn, please let me know if under these conditions you still want my participation in your thread.
