Now before we jump to conclusions and assumptions, let’s set a basic premise for this article. To all you young people in Maine who?believe you are conservative, sorry to inform you but you are not a true conservative. You may hold a few same values but even you would disagree with a Missouri Conservative or a Kentucky Conservative.

Now that we have set a premise we can look deeper into what I have learned from debating young conservatives.
1. They?fail to look at the here and now, while using the past as basis for the future.

2. Instead of taking action, they actually blame everything that is wrong with education on the “Liberal American Universities and Their Professors.”

3. The “Red White and Blue Belief” or that America is still the same as it was 100 years ago.

Thanks Mike Huckabee for drilling that into peoples minds. Another thing that I have learned is what I like to call the blame factor.

4. Young conservatives think that a young liberal can’t make decisions that will help themselves or America.

5. They’don’t read factual articles that come from credible sources.

Rather they settle for word of mouth or severely leaning rightwingnews. They get all their B.S. information that their parents told them was correct. It seems as if they have failed to read an actual article.

6. They comment angrily when in fact they have not read the actual article.

How can you comment on something you never read, or regurgitate false information. Conservatives tend to put words in mouths of Liberals, or make assumptions about them.

7. They wait like a hawk until you make one mistake and then they will swoop down for the kill, when in reality they have been spurring false information the whole time.

It is called the stupidity factor. The we’ll wait until you make a mistake just to bring you down.

8. I have learned that young conservatives lack any breadth of information on any type of topic that they claim to be well informed on. They gain all their information from an article full of talking points on which they cannot expand.

And who do they put their lack of information blame on, “The Liberal Media and Liberal Universities”. Perhaps the worst of it all is when their whole argument becomes flawed and they move right onto another talking point for which they have no background information on. And when their logic is challenged they begin attacking you claiming you have no religious, or moral, or ethical code. They are purely irrational.

Next how can someone go through life with just simple talking points? What will happen when they get a reality check? Most importantly how can we have falsified information be spewed from our future leaders. Do what’s best for America and not just what’s best for your rich white friends.

9. They’don’t?know fact from fiction.

10. Everything they don’t agree with is “Liberal” or “Too Blue.”

11.??They blame the Ebola crisis on President Obama solely because he is the easiest target to blame.

Side Note: This post is inspired by American Thinker and their article. Hope you realized the problem’s within Young Conservatives Sheltered views.?Read their article here:?”What I have l?earned from debating young liberals.”?
