Who are better people, conservatives or liberals?

you have to judge people individually\n\n(on average I would say liberals are because they care more about every body and conservatives care more about their own agenda and controlling people)

If you used the dictionary definition of a liberal, most conservatives would want to be liberals, or would think they already are liberals:\n\n"marked by generosity and openhandedness, broad-minded, tolerant, bountiful, munificent" and so forth.  All except the part "lacking moral restraint, licentious" applies equally to conservatives.\n\nGood question, because I don't think a liberal defines himself the way a conservative defines a liberal.  And vice versa.

Liberals. Because they are aware of the Conservative movement sweeping the nation and there is nothing they can do about it.

A Democrat is a liberal while a Republican is a conservative.\nThe youth prefers the liberal while mature people likes the conservative.  Religious groups prefer the conservative but hates the liberals for championing abortion and gay marriages.

:-)  Not sure what got into me but i'm hoping you will get it from the horses mouth since i forwarded your question to the Conservative Party.  (with a link to this question obviously)I reckon the new conservatives are more llikely to answer than the old ones ever were. \nAlso this is what you get when you put 'new conservatives' into their search egine: http://www.conservatives.com/search.results.page.do

Why is that a liberal can't be moral? Everybody has different sets of morals and beliefs, that doesn't make anyone morally inferior. Conservatives do care about the people and that is why they use churchs to create programs to help the poor. I'm not a liberal or conservative but don't like the political stereotypes people give to liberals and conservatives.

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.

Liberal Democrats, definitely. There's no way a conservative would dress like that.

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.

Liberal is left wing\n\nConservative is right wing\n\nThink of it as a line with 0 as the center and 1 thru ten going in each direction. People land somewhere on that scale based on their politics.

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.

Both refer to philosophical positions, but are usually applied to political movements that embody those philosophies.\n\nLiberals favor growth, change, flexibility. They tend to be more dynamic and driven, but often less organized. In the political arena, liberals favor progressive reform and the protection of civil liberties.\n\nConservatives favor tradition, conformity, and slow (if any) change. They tend to be more organized, but occasionally stagnant. In politics, this can be split between those who seek minimal government interference with minimal government social programs, and those who want heavy government regulation to ensure national conformity.

The social conservatives are the one's who talk the loudest about BEING conservatives -- not SOCIAL conservatives, but conservatives -- and about how NOT being one makes you a bad person. The social conservatives are the meanest and most hypocritical.\n\nThe insufferable social conservatives are the ones who have made it a huge issue.\n\nThat's why.

If you are in the States, I believe you mean the Democrats.  Liberal is a political standpoint, like conservative.  Republican & Democrat are actually political parties.
