Why do conservatives dislike Obama's policies so much?
A liberal but open-minded friend asked me this question. I am wondering what answers, and links, people would give to such a person in response. Thanks.
Because we don't hate America and therefore do not want to see it re-made into the exact opposite of America as Obama SAID is his goal.
You don't have a liberal but open-minded friend. He might mistakenly identify as a liberal due to absorption of liberal propaganda and not actually be one at all or he may dishonestly claim to be "open-minded." REAL liberals are absolutely dogmatic.
Because of his and the Democrats destructive economic and social policies. It's not hard to see who has spent the money in the last 10 years, it is the Democrats. Yeah we had Bush for 8 years, but Bush doesn't spend money, congress does. Who has been in control of congress for the past 10 plus years...Democrats.
Norskeyenta2: Why WOULD we want to work with Democrats? They are ideologically 180 degrees out from us. The reason they are in power now is because of failed Democrat policies, why would we work with them to further their failed policies? Makes no sense, we didn't put them there to be bi-partisan. We put them there to be as partisan as possible because being bi-partisan got us where we are now. .,.
In my world Decisive beats open minded by a mile every time. It is the scam of open mindedness that makes a liberal agree with his ideology because to disagree would be so closed minded right? Phooey...there is a right and wrong in everything, thinking it into submission just makes you late for reality.
Well I cannot answer for all Conservatives, but it seems to me most of obama's policies do not have the good of the country or the people at heart and or if they do the long term consequences have not been taken into account.
They are anti-American. He is the Ninth and Tenth Amendment's biggest foe in our history, and has not been real friendly with the other 8 in the Bill of Rights either. If it isn't bad enough that our basic rights already have been trampled on, he has taken the trampling to extremes.
Besides the Health Care Law with the mandate clause, they don't have other examples to match their rhetoric.
Much of the passed legislation over the past 2 years has been quite centric. Tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan, 25 individual/business tax cuts to help folks through the Recession, many others.
Obama is a DEM is the main reason. Plus, there may be a couple of other "issues".
The Conservatives have never worked together with the Democrats. It is one of their Policies to go against anything the Democrats suggest, be it good or bad. They are Rebellious human beings and think that only their way is the best way.

I can offer you no links, only a few shocking revelations I was made aware of when I first heard the name Obama:
Something about him finding it politically distasteful, to wear the American flag as a lapel pin.
Then his TWENTY years as a member of Rev. Wright's church.
Wright, a proud racist and anti-American.
Then his friendship with an unrepentant 60s bomber.
And the icing on the cake was marriage to his baby mommy who admitted
nauseousness at the thought of her American citizenship.
Somehow this family in the White House representing me leaves much to be desired.
