What would happen the United States if all of the Liberals left?...

"For the framers of the constitution were the most liberal thinkers of all the ages and the charter they produced out of the liberal revolution of their time has never been and is not now surpassed in liberal thought."

General Douglas Mac Arthur
The wisdom of one of the most tyrannical, insubordinate, dictatorial generals of the Second World War -- notable, even among American generals, for both grandstanding and skedaddling out of harm's way -- all at the same time -- and getting away with it !!
.

The point being that MacArthur was a conservative maybe ultra, and for him to give liberals credit for the constitution is the mark of something. But I disagreed with MacArthur also, because the founders were of different political stripes, but they did use the liberal ideas from the Age of Enlightenment and Reason in the constitution.
At times MacArthur was a competent military man and other times his ego interfered. We needed heroes at the beginning of the war and he sorta qualified. One of FDR's mistakes may have been bringing him out of the Philippines. As for MacArthur skedaddling out of harm's way, I'm not so sure about that either.
 
I have to say that I really would not care to live in a land where there were no liberals and no liberal thoughts although there are some liberals that I would not shed a tear if they did leave. America was great because of its acceptance of differing points of view. Part of the reason America has fallen is because liberals have suppressed conservative thought for the last forty years or so. This Political Correctness bullshit is a noose around the neck of America.

It would be boring not to have differences of opinions ... and American has always had that. It's just that today there's no civility in the discourse. In what I have highlighted, you are absolutely right.
It has not and will never be the case that all conservatives think alike (or that all liberals think alike). There exists a bell shaped curve for every characteristic of a large pool of samples.

If you consider that liberals are on the left side of the existing curve of political philosophy and conservatives are on the right, there will be a hump near the middle of the curve where the slope of the curve is zero.

If you remove all of those on the left side of the peak, you have simply created a new curve wherein the less conservative people are on the left and the more conservative on the right. It would not be boring.

However, I believe some things would definitely change:

Fewer people would live in poverty.
More people would be employed.
The economy would grow steadily.
The "happiness factor" would sky-rocket.
Life expectancy would rise.
Pornography would decrease.
Crime rates would decrease.
Rape and molestation of children would decrease.
The size of government would decrease.
Graft and corruption in government would decrease.

Then again...hell will freeze over and pigs will fly before American liberalism dies. Liberals are breeding like rabbits these days...gotta increase that monthly check from the tax payers.:eusa_whistle:

...within limits.

People who stray too far beyond the bounds which monopoly corporate media consider proper will find that they have not been prudent.
