Their economic theory's are destructive.
I don't see there is any evidence of that at a theoertical level.
Some of the world's most succesful governments have been liberal.
In fact, I think you'd struggle to mount a case that conservatives have a better economi record in government that liberals. In any country.
A liberal is willing to recognize that there are many areas in life where there is neither right nor wrong, just a range of choices, choices which will not solve the whole of the problems, and are not good or bad, but more effective or less effective. This does not set well with conservatives, who prefer definate right and wrong.
Also, liberals accept reality far better than conservatives. They do not try to bend the real world into "the way things ought to be". That is why 'Conservatives' deny the science of AGW, in spite of all the evidence of a warming world around them, and the solid science behind the reason why. And when a major poltical party embraces this lack of recognition of reality, as the GOP has, there is no way that I can vote for them.
I am judging from what I have seen in nearly 70 years of life.
Now Mathew, you really think that the economic theories that resulted in the First Great Republican Depression were not destructive? And that the deconstruction of the regulations that were put into place because of that Depression, leading up to October, 2008, and a very near brush with the Second Great Republican Depression, were not destuctive?
The Federal Reserve caused the panic of 1929, and then Roosevelt's economic policies extended a sharp but short recession into a depression. Pretty much the same thing happened in 2008. Only morons blame low taxes and deregulation for the depression.
And also the extraordinary steps used to make such things happen.

70 year old morons are just as stupid as 30 year old morons.
Now Pattycake, as much as you would like to rewrite history, you cannot. FDR is considered on the Great Presidents. As is Lincoln. And the Confederacy lost the Civil War and is just another sad chapter in man's attempt to justify the unjustifiable.
Liberals are just as black and white, right and wrong on issues as cons are. Dont kid yourself into thinking that liberals are any more or less flexible.

I think one fact we can all agree on is that liberals are all giant gas bags. Almost everything they believe is horseshit, especially when it comes to what they believe about themselves.
It is really hard for me to believe that any adult believes this.

That's because you're a liberal.

In everyday life I agree with you - but I think it's clear that on THIS board, there is far more abuse and wild generalisations made by conservatives about liberals than the other way around.
I'd say it is a ration of about 10:1.

One of my strongest impressions on arriving here was the incredible amount of abuse and oneliners thrown around about liberalism as a concept.
Of course, things may have been different in earlier times, and may change again.
I totally agree left wing posters fall into the same cliched traps, but all I can say is that since I have been here, my impression is that it is conservatives who are far, far more likely to get into the most childish level of 'marxist-this' and 'socialist-that'.

I suppose I can agree with that considering most will use the word "liberal" to describe a bunch of fascists...
