The Difference Between Conservatives and Liberals

[editec]

Oh my GOD you people are such hopeless tools.

Why do all libs think that only R's are Christian? Baffling.

When I was a kid my dad explained to me: Republicans will give you the shirt off their back. Democrats will give you the shirt off someone else's back. And Communists don't wear shirts.

I heard it as: Democrats will give you the shirt off their back and Republicans will steal the shirt off your back. And Communists will give you the shirt off of someone else's back.

Then why so many Dems in jail?

Right now I would say the most simplistic view is that R's think big government is the problem; and D's think big government is the solution. Of course, that's not the way it's always been...

But the facts would say R's pretend to think big government is the problem as they grow the government BIGGER.

If by R's you mean Repubicans [formally known as RINOS] then you would be correct. But those guys are becoming an endangered political species. true Democrats don't exist. They have been co-opted by progressives.

Well, Zander, old boy, no one has to make a case for Conservative idiocy. You just post it daily.

LOL......this coming from somebody who spends 14 hours/day posting up links about global temperatures and melting ice data in the Environmental forum as if there were any consequence.

But the conservative is the "idiot".


Rocks bro......you are the stupidest fcukk on the whole board!!!!

By R's I mean Reagan CON$ervatives, but you Regressives knew that all along.

CON$ervatives are just like Liberals ....

The liberal rebuttal will be provided by Joseph Stalin:

I think this quote of Ann Coulter shows a big difference between liberals and conservatives.

RWN's Favorite Quotes From Ann Coulter's 'How To Talk To A Liberal (If You Must)' - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)

"If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you've said -- unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can never nail them. It's like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder."

Ann Coulter describes Liberals with great accuracy.

Ann Coulter Quotes - Funny and Outrageous Ann Coulter Quotes

Liberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole

 

[Liberty]

ideas so good they have to be mandatory.

 

[Sallow]

This sums it up pretty well.

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a Muslim!!!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will cry like a bitch because he is "offended"

Thanks for the laugh! I love a good fairy tale!

The OP was simple joke that all to many take seriously. Here the Cato Institute, in discussing how to label CATO has some interesting points about the American def. of Conservative and Liberals.

How to Label Cato

Today, those who subscribe to the principles of the American Revolution — individual liberty, limited government, the free market, and the rule of law — call themselves by a variety of terms, including conservative, libertarian, classical liberal, and liberal. We see problems with all of those terms. "Conservative" smacks of an unwillingness to change, of a desire to preserve the status quo. Only in America do people seem to refer to free-market capitalism — the most progressive, dynamic, and ever-changing system the world has ever known — as conservative. Additionally, many contemporary American conservatives favor state intervention in some areas, most notably in trade and into our private lives.

"Classical liberal" is a bit closer to the mark, but the word "classical" fails to capture the contemporary vibrancy of the ideas of freedom.

"Liberal" may well be the perfect word in most of the world — the liberals in societies from China to Iran to South Africa to Argentina tend to be supporters of human rights and free markets — but its meaning has clearly been altered in the contemporary United States.

The Jeffersonian philosophy that animates Cato's work has increasingly come to be called "libertarianism" or "market liberalism." It combines an appreciation for entrepreneurship, the market process, and lower taxes with strict respect for civil liberties and skepticism about the benefits of both the welfare state and foreign military adventurism.

This vision brings the wisdom of the American Founders to bear on the problems of today. As did the Founders, it looks to the future with optimism and excitement, eager to discover what great things women and men will do in the coming century. Market liberals appreciate the complexity of a great society, recognizing that socialism and government planning are just too clumsy for the modern world. It is — or used to be — the conventional wisdom that a more complex society needs more government, but the truth is just the opposite. The simpler the society, the less damage government planning does. Planning is cumbersome in an agricultural society, costly in an industrial economy, and impossible in the information age. Today collectivism and planning are outmoded and backward, a drag on social progress.

Libertarians have a cosmopolitan, inclusive vision for society. We applaud the progressive extension of the promises of the Declaration of Independence to more people, especially to women, African-Americans, religious minorities, and gay and lesbian people. Our greatest challenge today is to continue to extend the political freedom and economic opportunity to those who are still denied it, in our own country and around the world.

Conservatives have more money, guns, and babes, and we hire more liberals than vice versa.

But the facts would say R's pretend to think big government is the problem as they grow the government BIGGER.

Yep...!

The old "I hate government and don't believe in it and I want to govern you" bamboozle that we have come to know the Regressive CON$ by.

I cried when another brother was beaten near death by a group of AFRICAN AMERICANS. I shit you not. Fuck the liberal agenda.

I cried when a bunch of White Reagan Republicans raped my neighbor.

Fuck the KKK agenda.

 

[antagon]

if a liberal doesn't care much for homosexuality he says keep it to yourself.
if a conservative doesn't care much for homosexuality he organizes a gay-bashing revival at a military funeral.

if a liberal doesn't understand science, they buy non GMO produce.
if a conservative doesn't understand science, they ban stem-cell research.

if a liberal was touched by the loss of life on 9/11, they buy a we will never forget ribbon.
if a conservative was touched by the loss of life on 9/11, they disgrace the nation with some quoran burning bullshit.

if a liberal thinks the fiscal budget should be balanced, he balances it.
if a conservative thinks the fiscal budget should be balanced, he rounds up a bunch of tpartiers, takes their campaign contributions and doesn't do jack shit.

The biggest difference between Liberals and Conservatives?

Liberals don't copy and paste every spam email they get onto the forums.
