Traditionally Liberals will gather en masse to protest an issue...... While Conservatives generally show their

Because liberals think with their heart, and conservatives think with their heads. \n\nIt feels really good to get together with a bunch of people that think the same way that you do - especially when you get attention like you do when protesting. However, it doesn't change anything. You are almost always preaching to the choir.\n\nConservatives are logical. When they want change, they don't get together and have a parade, they actually do something that will make a difference. Voting is about a million times more powerful than protesting, and it doesn't require a permit.\n\n.

Handsome liberals, angry conservatives with prematurely furrowed brows.  \n\nNo fights as long as no beer was served. \n\nIn truth, a lot of people are here just to argue a position. They're not the avid political junkies, or fervent fundamentalists they appear to be.

Liberals do argue that there is a conservative bias.  It's just that Republicans win out on listenership with talk radio and viewership on cable news.  If you listen to the liberal politicians, especially at fundraisers, then you will hear about a conservative bias.  \n\nThat being said, I find newspapers, outside of editorials which are slanted (as they should be), tend to be more objective than anything else you find.  Their job is to question government and the Republicans are in charge, so they are questioned right now.  If a Democrat was in office, I would expect to hear the same level of criticism from the media as I do now.

Did you see the video of some liberal wacko throwing a pie at her during one of her speaking engagements? That is how liberals like to handle things. If they don't have a valid point to make they start throwing things.

Ooooh yes....... most of 'em are bleeding heart liberals / politically correct pillocks who don't have a f***ing clue about the real world (I love making rude hand gestures at the protestors outside RAF Fylingdales when I go past on the Yorkshire Coastliner bus service) :D

Though I am not a liberal, I have found that wacko conservatives are more stubborn know it alls than are liberals. Personally, I think both are retarded, but that's just the opinion of a hard line moderate.

THERE IS NO DIVIDE!  The VAST majority of Americans are middle-of-the-road.  They are not as deeply divided in Conservative/Liberal.  That is what the politicians say to invoke passion in citizens.  But the reality is that VERY VERY few people lean strongly one way or the other.  I am trying to remember the name of a book I read for a low-level Political Science course in college that outlines this all very well.

If the GOP does show up, the liberal media will say it's because our disgust for the incumbents is OUTWEIGHED by our right-wing hatred and bigotry toward gays.\n\nIf the GOP doesn't show up, the media will say it's because our disgust for the incumbents is FUELED by our right-wing hatred and bigotry toward gays.\n\nEither way, the media will turn it against us.

From what I have seen, liberals are a lot more emotional than conservatives. They seem to get angry a lot easier. I also agree with what tony said. Especially the part about changing their ways when they get out on their own. It reminds me of a quote from Winston Churchill, "Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains."

The deal is: "Freedom of speech goes both ways"\n\nPeople not only have a right to say pretty much what they want, other people have a right to object, argue & even ask for an apology. \n\nA liberal says something, a conservative objects & the conservative is bashed for 'violating a person's freedom of speech.' \n\nA conservative says something, a liberal objects, and conservatives either let it drop there or defend the original statement on its merit.\n\nSo who is really against freedom of speech;\n\nThe conservative who asks a liberal for an apology for an offensive statement, or the liberal who acts like you aren't allowed to express the fact your offended by a statement?

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

Great question.  I would love to see Murtha, Sheehan, Moore, and even John Kerry holding hands in front of a mosque in a means of protest.  See how they feel when they are attacked by a suicide bomber.  These liberals need to decide what they stand for (instead of just anti-Bush) before they start bashing our troops and other military leaders.  They might be worth listening to if they ever had any good points to make.

Conservatives and reactionaries want to keep things the same or go back to an earlier era. It's part of the definition of these groups.

Not really. The fact is those who bash the liberals want the truth to be known. They are sick and tired of age-old, worn out ideas that cost us billions of dollars of tax money and then don't work!

Generally this is the way people show support or opposition to an item on the political agenda.  \n\nDoes it make sense?  Sure it does!  If you can get 10 people in a ROOM to agree on one thing these days, it's saying something LOL!  If you can get thousands, then you are showing unity, and chances are, those that are demonstrating are not alone and people at home feel the same way.  It is an effective way of letting ANY governmeent know what the people thinks.\n\nIs it ALWAYS followed?  Ummmmmm no, and thank heavens (not because of the Iraq war)!  If every protest was heard and followed then every single day a demonstration of gigantic proportions would be held for/against the same issue and then how do we decide.  What's important is - the media attention and the fact that you felt strong enough to protest about an issue.  The rest is up to the guys in the White House I guess. :)
