In today’s world a liberal believes that an individual is not responsible for where they are in life. A liberal believes that no one is responsible for the consequences of their actions, its society's fault.

A liberal believes that government and is big brother and that if only we lay down our arms the rest of the world will do so as well.

A liberal believes that its governments responsibility to take care of the poor, and help out the middle class. Rich people are rich because they are in bed with the government or are stealing from the rest of the people and should share a large portion of their wealth for those less fortunate then themselves.

A conservative believes that a person is responsible for their choices in life. They are free to try to become rich, free to fail, free to chose the security of a job and become middle class. If a person decides to screw up his life it’s his fault and he pays the price.

A conservative believes that there are evil countries and people in the world who wish to destroy our country and harm Americans. Only a strong military and intelligence organization can prevent this.

Many people thing conservatives are religious Christians but it’s the Christians that have tried to hijack the conservative’s party. Most conservatives just want to be rewarded for our successes and are when we fail we take full responsibility for our mistakes and failures. We only want other to take responsibility for their mistakes and failures as well.

In my mind the defining characteristic of a "liberal" is someone who puts the needs of the many above their own personal selfish/greedy goals - in politics

There is no such thing. And not trying to be a rear end. I don't care what group you’re into, there are always personal goals.


But asking what a liberal is. Depends on what you’re asking. I am a Social Liberal, but Financially Conservative. Where today most Liberals are both social and financial Liberals, which are the worst form, just like Social and Financial Conservatives.

The kid who wrote this, clearly has no understanding of what has happened in the Middle East, or the authotarian - borderline fascist nature of the new terror laws.


Indeed, as in, they hate black people.


Ditto (with the exclusions of Mizha and White Fox). Most conservatives I've met, are either spoiled rich kids who know they are better off with some right wing nut job in power, or they are stubborn hicks from the southern states of America.


Yes, Liberals become liberals becuase they want to be rebels. that's such a ludacris statement it's embarrassing.
Hmmm? I hate black people? very interesting seeing I was raised by a black man. Please explain that one for me.

A liberal is a person interested in politics who is either incapable of rational thought or who has mastered the art of doublethink.
