    Very very very simple, liberalism is big govt eg Hitler Stalin Mao Castro Caesar Obama Sanders.
    conservativism is about tiny tiny govt as described in the Constitution.
    Astounding that you hadn't learned that till today but in any case it was honor to teach it to you.

    if Jesus had been a liberal he would have talked about how important big govt is, yet he said not one word to that effect. Sorry to rock your world.

    I'll say that's simple. very very simple. so simple it verges on the nonsensical and meaningless.

    And that ain't astounding at all, regrettable as that may be.

    Yes you definitely can rock those bumperstickers despite not having a clue what the words really mean.


    Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.[1][2][3] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas and programmes such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality and international cooperation.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

    if Jesus was the world's first Republican, he would have been praising the wealthy, fomenting war in every corner of the world, and heartily approving of bigotry


    being the liberal that he was, he advocated the precise opposite of all that hate - had you troubled yourself to read the Bible, you would easily know it ;)

    Yes, they are NOT always for bigger government.

    Might want to do some practical research into comparing historic government growth rates under each president. Oh my yet another stupid bumpersticker fails the reality test.

    100% wrong of course! When Jesus lived you got wealthy through war or govt favors/connections not like today when you get wealthy by creating jobs and inventing products that sustain our lives. Do you understand now?

    Exactly what is roman liberalism? Where exactly are you observing this "ushering" of a new era of individual liberty - your dreams?

    Every time you make one of these statements you are doing nothing more than displaying your ignorance of political ideologies and your facility with partisan bumperstickers.

    I find it fascinating that many in trumpland have such a hard time correctly identifying who actually are real liberals and real commies and real nazis and real racists and real supremacists. Almost as much trouble has they have correctly identifying what real conservatives look like.
