Right Wingers are not righteous, they are Pecksniffian. "Michael A. Fischer" http://home.mn.rr.com/wwftd/\n\nLeft Wingers are not immoral, they have a moral obligation to point out the religiosity of the Fiscal Conservatives. \n\nYou in the middle, should stay a silent majority, and keep buying the commercials products, but for the sake of your country, get out and VOTE!

Because liberals, like most people, are ignorant when it comes their own political ideology. I believe a lot of liberals haven't really thought about their positions hard enough to see the inconsistency. \n\nThey don't like the idea of the government telling them who they can sleep with, but they have no problem with the government telling them who they can do business with, and under what terms. They don't like paying to promote certain religious positions with tax dollars, but don't see anything wrong with tax dollars going to support certain cultural or artistic positions (i.e. art subsidies).\n\nThough tangerine is partly right; conservatives are just as guilty of being hypocrites. You can't really argue that the state must regulate our behavior to make us "moral", but that it shouldn't regulate our behavior to make us "fair."

Normally, political beliefs are fixed somewhere along a 'spectrum'.\n\nUsually, from an economic perspective, the left is for equality in income: at its extreme, that means the goovernment giving everybody the same salary regardless of their job, at a more moderate level, it means higher taxes for the rich than for the poor. The right would be for less taxation and people earning money on a supply-and-demand principle.\n\nSocially, the left is generally for large government projects aiming to provide equal standards (in education, health, insurance, retirement pensions, etc.) to all people. These are usually centrally operated and require high taxes to maintain. The right believes in trusting private corporations to do this at whatever price they choose.\n\nAgain, socially, the left tends to support 'progressive' ideas like racial equality, immigration, gay marriage, drug decriminalisation, abortion, etc. The right percieves tradition as an important basis for lawmaking, and often is opposed to many of these things.\n\nNot everything can be categorised along a left/right spectrum. Globalisation vs. nationalism, for example: the left used to be more globally-minded than the right; now I'm not sure if that's true. Religiously-motivated politics are often thought of as 'the right', but there are groups like 'Christian socialists' too.

Absolutely! What produces terrorism abroad produces ultra-right wing conservative here. Don't believe me? Look at James Dobson, one of the most vile human beings on the planet.

You're right, there's a great deal of immaturity involved.  Basically, so-called "conservatives" are pusillanimous little people who hate, fear, and resent anyone who is different from themselves and have a pathological need to destroy them.

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.

No I think both extremes are pretty wacked.  The left really has no agenda - just hatred of everything moderate and to the right.  At least I don't get or understand the far lefts agenda.  The radical right agenda would border on racist and is full of hate as well - I guess "hate" is the similarity of the two.

I too can tell a liberal just by the way they act...they have a hate basis for anything they don't agree with while paying lip service to "tolerance".  The way they act is so child-like.  What they don't understand is that they are attempting to take away all the rules in our country...commit crime....let them out,  marry same sex...there is nothing perverted about that....be a pedophile,,,,it's ok, you were born that way.....and down with religion, esp Christian because it is evil to have a higher power say that anything is wrong.   It is a child-like existance in a world of theory...global warming, abortion, gun control etc. etc. I wish we could cut the country in half and live in the conservative half!!!

The left are considered liberals. Broadly speaking, liberalism seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of minorities are protected.\n\nThe right are considered conservative. To a conservative, the goal of change is less important than the insistence that change be effected with a respect for the rule of law and traditions of society.

Simple:  Personal responsibility and consequences for ones' actions is antithesis to the liberal dogma.  They like to call themselves progressives (I must admit they are VERY good at grabbing the best euphemisms), but in reality they are nothing but excuse makers, victim whores, and apologysts for the worst that human nature can produce.

Sorry proff, but is all about enriching ones self, you seen the one above me. Liberals are the scum of the earth because they care about people, it is wrong to care about anybody but yourself. I personally have seen both sides and I can't be so callus, maybe that is why I am a democrat. I think if you have a pile of boxes and you want to move them it is better to lift from the bottom that way you move all three boxes but if you lift from the top as the repuglicans do then all you lift is the top.

Conservatives only hated DEMOCRATIC government. Now that they can vote to cut down trees, build more bombers, give money to their industry buddies, it's all good. Right? Right? Hmmm....

Liberals with power is more dangerous.  They want a socialistic country instead of what our fathers fought for, capitalism.

it's not about hate, conservatives protect all the liberals and their rights. Liberals would not survive living in a world based on their ideology,they would be eaten alive.

Liberalism is based upon what makes you FEEL GOOD and it's the easiest type of political thought.\n\nConservatism is based upon doing what is right even if you don't feel good about having to do it. It requires the use of logic rather than emotion when making important decisions.

at the root of the political institutions of the left and right, there are simple human emotions.  Because of this, what those institutions eventually achieve or fail to achieve is ultimately beyond the reach of such institutions to predict, no matter how much the followers of a particular philosophy want it to be otherwise.  \n\nto sum up the emotions I'm referring to: If the status quo benefits someone, they tend to be conservative and on the right.  If the status quo doesn't particularly do any good for a person, they tend to be liberal and on the left.  \n\nthis is why students and young people tend to the left - they have no property or high social status to defend, no great steady job to hang onto.  But these same people, a few years later, often wouldn't be going to protests anymore, because they have a good job and a mortgage and car payments and whatnot.  Generally, as people age they become more conservative.   \n\nthe more status and property people have, the higher their priority is to protect what they've got.  So, the old dad who used to be a hippy, is a grumpy stick-in-the-mud by the time his kids are idealistic teens!\n\nthis dynamic all works on a large, collective scale as well.  It's all about what people have to lose.  The more they have to lose, the further right they drift...

Liberals are known as being opportunists. They look to gain from others missteps or misfortunes.  That being the case, they don't try to solve problems, they only look to tear down the right wing.   Although Republicans are disliked,particularly these days, at least they take actions rather than wait to feed off of others problems
