The right doesn't regurgitate. To be a conservative means to see life a certain way. To base things off a set of principles, and to allow those principles to guide understanding (and hence discussion) of topics. Many right wingers will come to the same conclusion when they look at a topic, because they have the same principles. But they rarely say it the same way. Their conclusions are their own, instead of rhetoric.
There's only one liberal on this thread that in any way tries to explain what he believes--but when put to a challenge, he's quite unable to express himself in any meaningful way, and he eventually does resort to the rhetoric again.
I tried doing that for a while. Just cutting and pasting my point instead of making an argument. I found it degrading. I don't know how liberals live with themselves.
