Assuming that you mean politically, here's my take, and I know this has change from how the sides used to be:\n\nliberal: progressive in introducing legislation to fix issues/problems, bigger government/more involvement, federal rights, higher taxes on rich to support the needs of the poor\n\nconservative: more status quo, states rights, less government involvement ("laissez-faire") especially federal, lower taxes for people to use their money to fix their own problems\n\nI'm usually a left-leaning moderate, so I generally have likes/dislikes about both sides.  Hope that helps.

Oh my god, I think I've finally found someone more conservative than me.  Is it possible?\n\nHey, I am firmly against Hillary in the Oval Office.  There are two types of personality.  In the first type, the person rises to the occasion.  He realizes the solemnity and critical nature of the office.  Where once the candidate was flippant or cavalier about the issues, he now realizes he has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he elevates his attitude and behavior to match the importance of his office.  That is Bush.\n\nThe second type of personality is susceptible to corrupting influences, and becomes drunk on power, even if the person believes his or her actions are altruistic.\n\nI'm afraid Hillary falls under the second category.  I too have heard her say some rather unsettling things.  They were not taken out of context; it is what she really meant to say.\n\nThe funny thing about liberals is they have almost everything completely backwards.  Consider the war in Iraq.\n\nBush once made the remarkable statement about "the soft bigotry of low expectations". I want you to remember that quote. Think about what he is saying. I've talked to a lot of liberals about the Iraqi conflict, and when I bring up the obvious point that millions of people have now been given the opportunity to live in freedom rather than tyranny, they prattle on, objecting with erroneous, irrelevant arguments. If I chide them enough, and make them hot under the collar, they will finally lose control and exclaim, "Oh come on, you don't really expect that a bunch of stupid, volatile, irrational Arabs can handle democracy, do you?"\n\nBush does not denigrate the people of the Middle East with the "soft bigotry of low expectations". Unlike the Democrats, he believes in their potential. He does not arrogantly belive that they can't handle democracy.\n\nThis same concept applies to democrats, especially liberal democrats.  Their whole outlook on life is mired in the soft bigotry of low expectations.  They constantly talk about how loving and compassionate they are, so they're going to make the government "help" us.\n\nMy response is, "If that's how you love me....PLEASE... don't 'love' me again!!!"

Review that name one more time:  "truthseek".  It doesn't say "truthknower".  I am seeking the truth.  why aren't you?  We would be much better off if everyone sought the truth.  you are too full of hate for liberals or anyone who disagrees with you.\n\nIs your life really that boring???\n****************************************\nto paraphrase a conservative intellect, you might consider the following:  "...sometimes the truth is just outside the realm of understanding and you have to set aside your beliefs and ideas to see that truth..."  ah, you see, you already know how to find the truth.  Do as YOU say and set aside your belief and ideas.  Be patient grasshopper, it will come to you.

You're going to get some real heat over this question. Conservatives will say you are not entitled to your opinions. Whenever a liberal administration takes over, you will see the world will step back from the brink.  I just pray we don't get past the 'tipping point' (see link). \nConservatives care about conservatives, but liberals care about everyone.

I grew up in a conservative home, although I didn't know it at the time. Politics were not the dinner table topic. In may teens, I started to become more liberal in my view of the world. By my twenties,I was wild, and free, and I was all but full blow liberal by this time.With the birth of my first daughter, that all started to change.I guess I started to become my parents. Now I'm back to being a conservative. Some of my liberal views remain, some what. Like, while I don't think Global warming is caused by human consumption, I also don't think we should go knocking down every tree because we can.I live in Florida, Trust Me I know what progress can do to a pristine environment.\n\nIn short. You are product of your environment.If it changes your out look will too.\n\nHappy birthday to me I'll be 40 in 3 days.

I can see how your question relates to your comments.  Oh, no, wait.  I see.  This was just a way for you to vomit your diatribe on how you don't like conservatives.  You're not really interest in a dialogue or an exchange ideas.  You just want to bash conservatives.  Ok...  at least you're honest.

I am conservative, but do not belong to any political party in particular.  Although there are many liberals and liberal organizations in power (NOW, PETA, ACLU) who take the view of the extremes most liberals on the street are suffering from various levels of ignorance about what they are really supporting. \n\nWhen it comes to ordinary everyday people, Liberals tend to be those who think with their hearts when it comes to decisions affecting others.  People who think with their hearts tend to consider how their decisions affect the individuals involved.  They tend to work well with individuals or small groups in helping careers such as teaching and nursing.  This is no reflection of their intelligence, because there are plenty of intelligent liberals out there.  It is only an indication of how they make decisions.  People who think with their hearts may need to put extra effort in learning to look at the logical side of things when making decisions in politics.  Liberals also tend to jump feet first into accepting new ideas hoping that the ideas will work, so that they can be on the ground floor.\n\nOn the other hand, conservatives tend to think with their heads.  They focus on how their decisions affect the group as a whole.  They usually work better in logical fields such as in laboratory science or the law.  This is not a reflection on conservatives ability for compassion, but only on how they make decisions.  People who think with their heads may need to put extra effort into considering how their decisions affect the individuals involved.  Conservatives tend to look before they leap and accepting new ideas only if there is good reason to believe that those ideas will work better than those that are in place.  They are more likely to give up being on the ground floor in favor of caution. \n\nMost people are somewhere in the middle of the road.\n\nThat having been said.  Running the government (as opposed to a local club or group) requires much thinking in terms of the whole group.  There is no way that a federal government over 300 million people or even a town government over 3,000 can meet the needs of every individual in those groups.  The federal government should limit itself to issues affecting the country at large (national defense, disputes between the states, etc).  State governments should limit itself to issues which affect itself as a whole (maintaining state highways, justice systems, etc).  All other issues (schools, county road and park maintenence, zoning laws, etc) should be handled by local governments.  The needs of individuals should be handled by families, churches, and private charities.

Hmmm... it's a tough one! I'm not sure. If this is a real situation and you really like the woman then I don't think difficult teenage years should be something you're THAT worried about now - I mean the teenage years are always going to be hell on earth regardless of who the parents are.. and I speak as a 20yr old who came from a nuclear family...\nBut, incidentally, my Aunty is of a different ethnicity (and has dark skin, brown eyes, black hair...) to either of my grandparents and thus looked completely different to them, as she was adopted (back in the day when they let an all 'white' family adopt a 'black' kid - they might worry about the effect on the kid a bit more these days...) and although I'm not entirely sure on her feelings on the issue, it seems like one of her biggest worries as a teenager was the embarrassment at having such OLD parents!  - She was adopted after my mum and other aunties and uncles were in their late teens and stuff, so my grandparents would've been a tad older than the parents of the other kids at her school...

So just tell her that you don't know how you feel about it.  You're not against homosexuality, but you're not sure what kind of effects it would have on society.  If the problem of your uncertainty comes from vague societal problems, then she can't really get mad at you.  She might try to convince you that gay marriage should be legalized, but I don't think there's any harm in that either.  I'd just tell her you sit on the fence.  You support gays, but you're scared of backlash.  The result is confusion.

its hard to say,  currently i am taking a journalism class in high school and if we put our opinion in any of the things we write its an automatic F.  But now we are finally beginning to make our own column which lets us speak of our opinions.  So it really just depends on where you're finding your information based on what newspaper you read, or what ever news program you watch some are conservative and some are liberal

Bill Maher said:\n"I know this is about 140 years late, but to the Southern states, I would say upon further consideration, you can go."\n\nI am Southern AND liberal. Let's not confuse southern and conservative. Not all Southerners are conservative. The South was once predominately democratic, and then something shifted. I think a lot of people in the south are traditional and very family-values oriented. While I don't agree with all of these views, I don't think this is a bad thing. We are not a nation where everyone has to have the same beliefs and ideals, and that's what I think makes it such an interesting place. If all the southern conservatives left, who would I have to argue with?

THANK YOU.  I have experienced the very same thing in this forum.  It's the reason I mention the fact that I am a moderate Independent so often.  I'm tired of being labeled a left wing liberal because I don't agree with the ultra-conservative Republicans.  I'm not real fond of extremism in either camp, but lately I have disagreed with the Republican manner of handling this country.  Contrary to their beliefs that does NOT make me a freaking liberal.
