Why does the world hate American conservatives?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight......

Benjamin Disraeli was purported to say, at one time, "Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it."

You are making quite a few bad assumptions on quite a few of the Democratic presidents that started wars. For example, Roosevelt did not start WW II. He may have supplied armaments before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, but he didn't start WW II. Ditto with Wilson during WW I. As a matter of fact, both presidents were pretty much isolationists before being dragged, kicking and screaming into these conflicts.

Get your facts straight before you make such inane blanket statements.

If you want a boatload of varying opinions on the so-called current meltdown of the Republican Party, as well as the future meltdown of the Democratic Party, take a look at the discussions on Quora.com

We were attacked at Pearl Harbor, which I wonder how you'd find indisputable.

Because they're in bed with corporations. They hate the common class. They seek removal of minorities. They want control everything including women's rights, the internet and what you say, think, and act. They don't care as long as its for the lord or the money. What a bunch of losers.

Wilson was not dragged kicking and screaming into WWI, he was the complete opposite of an isolationist. He was the very definition of a internationalist interventionist, he lied and said he'd keep the US out of war when he was running for reelection and had us involved just a few months later.

The fall of 1998 bombing runs of Iraq also had a similar political CYA flavor.

That is true. Wilson was looking for a chance to get us into the war.
By the standards of modern day progressive Democrats, which Wilson claimed he was, he proved to be an utter and complete fraud. He was a racist, turning black federal employees into second class employees with lower pay, and had praised Birth Of A Nation, with it's revisionist view of the KKK and freed blacks as "History written by lightning." His domestic wartime policy was so discriminatory toward first German Americans and pacifists, and then socialists and organized labor, and eventually all immigrants, blacks, and Jews, giving rise to the reactionary move to the right which spelled the death of the progressive era, and the rebirth of the KKK. His foreign policy had only set the stage for the rise of fascism, and the next world war. Sure, women got the vote nationally under Wilson, but as that had occurred when he was on his deathbed in a vegetative state, it was probably Mrs. Wilson who had actually made it law.

Because they don't seem to understand that their way of life isn't how other people live. Or if they've just had good luck and privileged they don't understand how a bad start can scupper people.

They seem to think that if you don't have any money it's because you aren't working hard enough. They don't seem to take circumstances or health into consideration. If you have bad circumstances you're just "lazy".

They don't seem to care if people are bankrupted by having to pay to treat an illness that is no fault of their own. In the UK if I develop cancer the money I've paid through taxes will pay for my health care. If I don't get that sick the money I've paid in will help to treat other people.

I will never, ever, ever live in America. The narrow mindedness just scares me.

You have a very stereotypes ideological view of this country

also cancer survival rates are much much higher in the US than they are in the UK

Really? "Countries with universal health coverage have fewer casualties, according to Lancet study of cancer deaths"

Yes, look it up. The cancer survival rates in the US are MUCH MUCH higher in the UK. I think the 5 year breast cancer survival rate in the US is near 90% while being somewhere under 80% in the UK for example. Across the board the US treats cancer better than anywhere in the world.

...Say two dumbsh*ts.

Which prove the adage, not all conservatives are stupid people, but all stupid people are conservative.

Is that number based on deaths from cancer per capita or deaths among cancer patients?
