I am wondering the mindset of the American Conservative. Perpetually outraged, but generally without much justification. He (yes, it is usually a he, but no matter) loathes the moderates in the GOP and has purged them, hates liberals, considers Canadians, Europeans, South Americans, Australians, Kiwis, and most other countries socialist or fundamentally inferior, distrusts science, academics, the global media (except the partisan varieties), can point to no single country in the world that successfully executes his policies, and does not need to travel the world or learn to speak another language to be certain of America's social, moral, and economic superiority, constantly demonizes all the non conservative groups in his own country, and generally gets all worked up and played for a fool by blowhards like Rush Limbaugh.

He posts constant troll posts, but seems utterly lacking in curiosity.

I mean who do these conservatives respect? They see enemies everywhere, but who are their allies? How did they come to know their ideas cannot possibly be improved?

Why the need to post your hate?

Well, who wants to answer the question?

Who do you folks admire beside paid blowhards like Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck? Seriously? I hear all day about how everyone else is an idiot. Show me an example of some people besides American entertainers and tycoons that you have learned something from.

Ok, Jesus. I like him too. Anyone else?

Or are the only people in the world that American conservatives admire other American conservatives?

A bit trollish, perhaps, but an honest question? Educate me.

I'm a natural-born skeptic. I question everything. Most of the time i'm right. That doesn't make me a conservative, although the correlation is strong. I'd rather be a skeptical conservative than a pushover liberal.

If anyone cares to take the time to compose one, a diatribe against the American Liberal as a rebuttal, it would be about three times as long as the one in the OP.
