If this were 1938, which side would the liberals be on?

The short answer to your question is yes.\n\nWhat would the world be like today if Neville Chamberlain had the courage to stand up to Hitler in 1938 instead of becoming one of histories weakest Prime Ministers of a 'major power'?\n\nWhat would the world be like today if we were able to prevent the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?\n\nThe NYTimes even admits that we have found 'some' WMDs in Iraq.  Remember, we haven't started to search Syria yet and we havent searched in Iran.  Does anyone remember what Saddam did on the first day of Gulf War #1?  He sent his air force to Iran.\n\nIf NutBall Jr. in North Korea gets missile technology in place that could reach San Francisco and he SAYS that (which he would), then we would be well within our rights as a sovereign nation to destroy that missile battery.\n\nWas Israel within their rights to destroy the nuclear plant in Iran 25 years ago?  Is Israel within their rights to attack the terrorists that are intent on their death and destruction?

That's a very good question. The UK Liberal-Democrat party claims to exist outside of left-right lines but since the Iraq war has actually shifted to the left of Labour on a lot of issues.\n\nIn the United States, 'liberal' seems to be a word that more people use to tag their enemies than people apply to themselves. It seems generall y to apply to social freedoms - being pro-choice, pro-immigration, pro-civil rights, etc. Economically, well I think American liberals used to be seen as spending-happy, but they run tighter budgets than conservatives these days.\n\nIn Canada, the (federal) Liberal party was once described by one if its leaders as the 'radical middle' - firmly centrist. But being pro-gay marriage, anti-Iraq-war and pro-cannabis-legalisation puts it quite on the left by American standards.\n\nAdditionally, the provincial Liberal parties are often significantly to the right of the federal equivalent (especially BC, arguably Québec, historically Ontario).\n\nIn France it seems to mean rampantly capitalist. Worried about only economic freedom at the expense of social welfare.\n\nI think the Australian Liberal party is right-of-centre and the Japanese Lib Dems are too.

Hard to predict, but i'd go for a hung parliment with the liberals holding the balance. Outright, i'd say labour would have the majorty.

If the liberals had their way, we would be a communist nation.

Liberals only think of the present and what they want now. They don't look at the big picture and consider what the consequences\nof their actions and demands will be further down the road.

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.

The antiwar, can't-we-all-just-get-along libs are in fact the descendants of the yellow spineless supporters of the king.  \n\nAnd actually Hitler was a socialist which makes him a liberal!\n\n(Please note that I am not saying all liberals are as evil and demented as Hitler... well actually...  no on second thought I'm not saying that at all, too controversial.)

I would say democrats.  I am republican and would be afraid to put a bumper sticker on my car because there would probably be some liberal that would key my car.  They tend to be more angry and violent.

Truman and he was a democrat.  That was a long time ago, before Vietnam.  It's interesting how times have changed things.  Most conservatives today would be considered left wing fanatics by Turmans standards.  Liberals today would seem to be from a different planet all together.

Thing of political views as a strait line. To the most left is Communism. To the most right is Nazi-ism. A left wing is a democrat and leans more towards Communist views (all people are equal, the government takes care of everyone). The right wing is Republicans and they lean more towards Nazi-ism (strong, powerful government, the people care for themselves). \n\nIf you numbered the line 1-100, 1 being Communism and 100 being Nazi-ism, a Democrat would most likely be around a 45-49. A Republican would be around 51-55. \n\nSome Democrats would be lower numbers. Like Hillary Clinton or John Kerry would be around 35-40. Some republicans, like Rush Limbaugh, would be arounf a 60-65. \n\nI hope this helps.

By today, it would be an idependent  federation of states, with a Prime Minister of each. The Head of State would be HM Queen Elizabeth II (who, is it must be noted, non executive)\n\nIt is possible that the Civil War might have been avoided, although slavery would have been abolished, probably gradually in the mid 19th Century.\n\nThe British would have taken America into the First World War in 1914, and I doubt that the people of America would have allowed London to retain such power over foreign policy afterwards, although perhaps they would have been influenced enough by London to join World War 2 in 1939.
