What Is Your Own Definition of Liberal and Conservative?

[Road Runner]

After somebody else asked me this question it got me thinking that it was a pretty good question. Here's my answer to it and I'm going to make it short and sweet. A conservative wants and stands for America to be like it's supposed to be,.. a free country. While a liberal wants completely the opposite.

Todays American Liberals ae not actual Liberals at all anymore. The Left is controlled by Marxists.

As for Conservatives, it is very simple: We believe is fidelity to the constitution and its original intent, limited government, maximum liberty, and traditional ethics and morals.

Mark Levin does the a great job at explaining conservatism if you find any lectures by him are serious papers or books by him.

A true liberal (there might be like four on this forum) should never be confused with a progressive progtard

Conservative: Someone who believes in personal responsibility. For example if I want to have three kids then I should have the means to support them vs. asking the Gov't to provide programs to help pay for daycare. Aka taxing others for my decisions. Also believes that gender is a social construct is a belief held by those who are mentally ill.

Liberal: Someone who believes the Gov't and or others should pay for my bad decisions because we are part of a larger whole.

Leftist: Believes America is systemically racist. Hates America. Hates wealthy, high achieving decent people.

The left are not liberals. the left are commies and socialists and progressives.

Okay so then what's the difference between those and a Marxist? I'm talking about all of those things combined. And btw, AzogtheDefiler made a really good point. The left doesn't believe in working for anything and caters to the mentally ill. (More than those who are not.)

Conservatism is capitalistic and democratic to me. Also I prefer conservatives for national defense than liberals who sympathize with enemies of the state.

That, I can definitely understand.

I'm not really sure that I understand what you're saying.

By and large, a conservative prefers that our nation be governed by lawmakers and executive branch officials who are faithful to the Constitutional precepts of our Republic, including (but not limited to) the acceptance of the constraints imposed on governmental authority and by a commitment to State and individual sovereignty, rights, freedoms and liberty.

By and large, the modern American version of “liberal” places more stock in governmental power, disregard of limitations imposed on governmental authority and a tendency to govern via an ad hoc approach to lawmaking premised on emotionalism and a disregard for personal liberties — instead being in favor of the citizens’ supplication to the tyranny of the majority.

You do know what capitalism and democracy are do you not? I prefer conservatives for national defense as they take hard line with the enemy.

The left wants to pass policies that force the whole to pay for bad decisions of the few. I find that ridiculous. And yes, if you have 2000 kids in a school and one is trans. They don't care about how the 1,999 feel and will cater to the one trans. Why? Leftists are mentally ill. Like the ONE in this example..

The difference is night and day. Conservative are more family orientated, self sufficient, don't believe in a nanny state, etc.

Leftists are pretty much whiny bitches demanding to be taken care of and demand society conform to suit their agenda

Capitalism and democracy do not go together. Democracy is a vile, selfish form of government which America was not intended to have.

Libs want the govt to tell them how to run their lives.
Cons want the govt to stay the hell out and leave us alone.

 

[shoshi]

Liberal do not like that some people are more successful than others so they want to punish the rich with taxation and business regulations. That is bad economically. In Israel we had economic turn around became a high tech capital after cutting taxes and regulations. Deregulation encouraged investment.

Convenient labels to assign to people you disagree with.

Liberals are about the group: if we build a school and give free education to our kids, that will improve everyone's life.

Conservatives are about the individual: I'll start a business and work hard and that will improve my life.
