Who's right, liberals or conservatives?

Neither, the closest I can muster is libertarian (socialy liberal, fiscaly conservative).\n\nVote independant, the two party system has failed, stop the corruption.\n\nand to those who say liberals are more like comunists... both liberals and conservatives are closer to comunisim than libertarian. Lest we forget the deffinition of a comunist... a social conservative, fiscal liberal.\n\nIt seems to me most americans now-a-days meet this definition (comunism), and are afraid of freedom.

Liberals hate Conservatives because Conservatives know the difference between right and wrong and call out Liberals on their actions. No one likes to be told that they are wrong or what they are doing is wrong.\n\nAs a Conservative, I get aggrivated when Liberals think they know all of life's answers and they act like intellectuals when actually they are not very smart.

Your question is moot. The center going to win, not the left nor the right. Both liberals and conservatives are bone-heads, and we need to replace them with moderates.

Are you serious?  I am amazed at the liberal hatred of conservatives that I have read on this site.  Liberals accuse Bush of being a murderer and worse than Hitler.  I have read on this site people saying that they would celebrate if Bush was assassinated.  I have read liberals say that all conservatives are racist, ignorant, stupid, and evil.  These far left liberals are the most hateful people in America.  There are some hateful conservatives, but this in no way comes close to comparing to the hate coming from the left.

Fascism,gotta love it!\nAs to your question, I find liberals are generally people who are close minded, full of themselves, and desperate to be 'in'. I also find them in large annoying numbers at our local coffee bars, spouting their rhetoric. poop!

Liberals are for change and  conservatives don't want change, they are traditionalists thats about as simple as i can put it

Left (wing) is the same as Liberal and right (wing) is the same as conservative.\n\nConservatives claim to be more careful in making changes.  They don't like to change the way things are done unless they think the new way will be an improvement.  \n\nConservatives also tend to interpret the constitution in light of the founding fathers commentary, historical perspectives of the founding fathers, and the actual wording of the constitution.\n\nConservatives are more likely to cut taxes (except in times of war) and cut social programs (except for national defense).  They also tend to hold traditional Values,\n\nLiberals claim to embrace change.  They tend to go more with the trends than with what was done in the past.\n\nLiberals usually view the Constitution as a "Living Document" that changes with the times that we are currently living in.  They view the wording of the Constitution as symbolic rather than concrete.\n\nLiberals tend to raise taxes and increase funding of social programs (except for Defense spending).  Liberals values tend to run with the trends of their time.\n\nstephenvest@...\nYou could at least try to be objective.

Conservative and Liberal are terms only describing your tendency towards one side or another on certain issues.  It really has nothing to do with party affiliation.  There are a number of conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans, but the majority of Republicans tend to be more conservative and the majority of Democrats tend to be more liberal, which is how the words have come to be used as pseudo-insults from one party to the other.

Judging by the many of the questions and answers, I would guess liberal.

I think we all know it is broken. Liberals and Conservatives are equally to blame.

I am liberal, but I'd have to go with your cat. \n\nAlbert Einstein once said, "Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions."\n\nHe's very right. People would rather shout, "You're wrong, you stupid idiot!" than give a real, well thought out answer on why you're wrong. People in this modern world have lost intelligence, maturity, and respect for other's opinions. It's sickening, the state of the humans of the world.

A conservative liberal is someone who is mostly liberal but conservative on some issues. I know it seems ridiculous because it appears to be an oxymoron, but it is not. This alleged oxymoron is similar to the United States being a Democratic Republic. It is such because we use some elements of democracy (like voting-- in a true democracy EVERYONE votes on EVERY issue, rather than having a congress) but our government has also been influenced by the ways of a republic (having senators, etc., which is similar to the ways of Ancient Rome).\n\nFor example, I consider myself to be a conservative liberal as I am liberal on most social issues involving human rights, such as gay marriage because I believe that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, deserves the right of marriage. However, I am conservative on issues like immigration because I believe that only people who intend to gain citizenship, pay taxes, learn to speak English, and have a stable job should be allowed to immigrate. I happen to feel this way because, although I value their addition culturally, we cannot finance the welfare for people who do not help fund the services they are receiving.

Conservatives are pro-business. Conservatives believe in lower taxes for the wealthiest (even if the result is government deficit spending) in the belief that the wealthy will invest that money in the stock market and businesses will hire more people with the additional investment. Conservatives do not believe in environmental regulations that can cause businesses to spend more money to keep pollutants out of the air. Conservatives believe in government regulation of peoples lives (such as abortion and laws against gay people).\n\nLiberals believe in higher taxes for the wealthiest to redistribute the wealth in the form of government services such as welfare for those living in poverty. Until welfare reform in the 1990s, the welfare system in the United States was often abused by those who were not truly needy. Liberals believe in environmental regulation and a cleaner environment, even if businesses have to install equipment to release less pollutants into the atmosphere. Liberals believe in less government interference in peoples personal lives (such as laws allowing abortion and laws protecting people from discrimination).\n\nAlthough most Americans are registered with the Conservative Republican Party or with the Liberal Democratic Party, many Americans do not always vote for the candidate of their party's choosing. These 'cross-over" voters combined with Independent voters result in federal elections that are often decided by slim margins.

I always remember that "left" originally meant "sinister" - so it is the Religious Right and the Liberal Leftist.  Traditionally Right is conservative and Left is Liberal.\n\nConservatives (right) are traditionally thought of as cautious, uncomfortable with too much government and are financially and/or religiously motivated.\n\nversus\n\nLiberals (left - I wonder who decided on these names...) are traditionally thought of as folks who think the government should take care of all it's people and will pass tax bills to pay for it.  They are more religiously tolerant (as long as you keep your religion to yourself) and more likely to try new things.  \n\nLiberals are thought to vote with their heart and Conservatives with their wallets.  Republicans are often considered Conservatives, while Liberals are usually the Democrats.\n\nI am more what you would call a Centerist (I can see some things are correct on both sides of the debate) and a Libertarian (I really think government should get out of our lives - if I had my way, the only law would be "If you damage someone else (physically, financially) you will be punished.  Otherwise, do what you want.")  I usually vote Democrat / Liberal.

I think it's that the opposite of liberal is conservative.  Conservatives favor the ways and institutions of the past, and would like to revert to them.  And many republicans are conservatives.  Their ideal is therefor the polar opposite of liberals.  And no, I don't think there's anything wrong with liberals, both keeping an open mind and respecting the past seem like good ideas to me.  That's why I couldn't be a member of the press.  I make too much sense and am too respectful of other peoples opinions.
