Goods points I agree



Me feeling on liberals

The Liberal ideology is a theory which holds forth beliefs that have no basis in reality.

They are Advocates of a policy that empowers a strong government to enslave its people with a high tax burden incident to the support of extravagant and unnecessary social programs destructive to both the work ethic among the lower class, and the incentive to innovate and succeed among the working class.

The problems we face today are because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

A democracy will continue to exist up until

the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous

gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority

always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from

the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally

collapse over loose fiscal policy

A broken government can't be fixed by the same government that broke it.

Answer 2

Not bad, but I have some corrections:

3) Conservative - lawful government

4) Liberal - government above the law

6) Liberal - Private sector best at almost everything but must be forbidden to do it

10) Liberal - Wealth must be distributed by force and as determined by bureaucrats

11) Conservative - you make choices about what you produce

12 Liberal - from each as determined by bureaucrats; to each as determined by bureaucrats

14) Liberal - others must be forced to provide me a living

Answer 3

Liberal=big government

Conservative=big corporation

Answer 4

Going to have to agree with your format.

For me it is simple.

Liberal wants to take me out for lunch or dinner

as long as I pay for it. Liberal wants to take me

out for a event as long as I drive my vehicle

and pay for the gas. Liberal wants to take me

somewhere he wants to be seen with me at. So

he can claim he is a friend of a wealthy Conservative.



That is every liberal I have ever known.

Answer 10

conservative- makes up BS lists full of lies

Liberal- laughs at the conservative for is sad propaganda



I work for a living? am I a conservative?

Answer 11

They aren't even really comparable, it's like apples and oranges. Liberalism, like all statist philosophies is like a religion. Blind faith. Facts, history and experience have no place in the ideology. It's ideas, usually feel good ideas. History and experience prove to us that statism has failed and led to despotism in every instance that it has been applied throughout recorded history. As I said, blind faith, a religion.

Conservatism is a way of life based on facts, history, logic, experience and morality. It isn't blind faith, it is conclusions based on history and facts, experience. Logic and rationality.

Answer 12

Liberals are not the takers, they are the givers. Conservatives are the keepers.

Answer 13

pretty much right on...I keep it simple, though. conservatives believe we have the right to spend our money on what we want to spend it on. liberals believe they have the right to spend our money on what they believe they should be able to spend our money on.
