It's a little old, but...

In my continuing efforts to help expose as many people as possible to the assbackwardness of the modern day “conservative” Tea Partier, I present this lovingly compiled collection of tripe entitled, “20 Questions Liberals Can’t Answer.” I know what you’re thinking, and now, it’s not “How come the Tea Party hates the people of the United States so much they want to kill its government?” Nor is it, “Why does every Tea Bagger insist on conflating communism, socialism and Fascism?” It’s not even “Why are Tea Baggers so afraid of a black guy in the White House?” Instead, it’s the following questions, which I am going to go ahead and answer for Mr. John Hawkins, Conservative Hack Blogger Extraordinaire. - See more at: http://www.politicalgarbagechute.com/answering-a-conservative-hacks-20-unanswerable-questions/#sthash.kua4mWPK.dpuf

2. Compartmentalized right wing rhetoric disguised as thought

1) A few days ago, we were hearing that the Boston Marathon bombers COULD BE conservative, which proved that the Right is evil. Now, when we know that the terrorists are Muslims, how can the same liberals be saying that it means nothing?

They did have right wing propaganda among their possession, so there is that.

2) If you believe we have a “right” to things like health care, food, shelter and a good education, then doesn’t that also mean you believe we also have a right to force other people to unwillingly provide those things at gunpoint?

I don't want to unwillingly provide money for outdated Pentagon projects, where can I sign up for that?

3) How can you simultaneously want a big government that will make decisions that have an enormous impact on the lives of every American while also saying that the character and morals of our politicians don’t matter?

What party does David Vitter belong to again?

5) Why is it that time and time again, revenue paid to the treasury has GONE UP after we’ve cut taxes?

Following that logic, zero taxes would lead to infinite revenue. Somalia should be a paradise.

9) If Republicans don’t care about the poor, why do studies consistently show that they give more to charity than Democrats do?

Having a stadium named after you or investing in one of Pat Robertson's blood diamond mining operations don't really count as charity, but that's just my opinion.

12) If we change God’s definition of marriage to make gay marriage legal, then what’s the logical argument against polygamy or even adult siblings supposed to be?

Or being married to dinosaurs or metaphorical concepts, if you're going to make a slippery slope, then you need to go all the way!

16) A minimum wage raises salaries for some workers at the cost of putting other workers out of jobs entirely. What’s the acceptable ratio for that? For every 10 people who get a higher salary, how many are you willing to see lose their jobs?

So really, a rising CEO wage should also do that, what regulations should we have for that?

4. Number five is a LIE that they repeat often with zero evidence to back it up

Reagan cut taxes and the National Debt tripled, Bush* cut taxes and the National Debt Doubled, Clinton raised taxes and the National Debt went down and we actually ran a surplus for two years. They LIE through their teeth.

6. 12) God's definition of marriage includes

Solomon's 700 wives and 300 concubines.

Added it to my favorites so I could refer to it if I ever need to. Lots of good info.

7. Those questions are only "unanswerable" for conservatives.

They continue to try to fit the facts into their world view instead of accepting the fact that they are just mean-spirited and selfish. Glad someone took the time to answer back. I've seen quite a lot of these type of gotcha questions for liberals that conservatives share between themselves and all they do is expose what rotten human beings they are.
