Questions for the Left

Being an idiot(Theresa's words)ic right wing zealot, I sometimes have a hard time understanding the mindset of the left. So with this and my endless search for knowledge, in mind, I have some quetions for the left:

1) Why is it that your party is afraid to be honest with the American people as to your true agendas..i.e. socialism, internationalism, gun control, secularism, etc?

2) Do you truly believe that freedom of speech should also be forwarded to those who disagree with you?

3) Where does your freedom come from? Your creator, if you believe in that, or your government?

4) Just what is your definition of 'compassion'.

5) Where does your low view of the abilities of your fellow man come from?

6) Do you believe that you can succeed?

7) Are you really smarter than everyone else?

8) Should your fears and neurosis influence government action...i.e. seatbelt laws, forced social security, government price controls?

9) Are the rich all evil?

10) Do you teach your children that success and profit are bad, and that they should strive for mediocrity?

11) Do you wish government jobs upon your children?

12) Do you believe the government should take money fairly earned from one man and give it to another to pay for the latters bad choices?

13) Do you believe that the loss of civility and ethics in this country have been caused by a strengthening of conservatism or the slippery slope of progressivism?

14) Do you believe that there is a media bias?

15) If you believe in freedom of choice on abortion, why not for schools, social security, taxation?

16) If you believe in higher taxes, why not two systems...one for compassionate liberals and one for greedy conservatives?

That's enough for now, but I really would like to hear your answers to some of these questions. I promise, if you comment I'll try to be civil. I did say try, right?
