Yes, most definitely!!!  They also give everything their liberal slant so they can push their views.  So warning, don't believe everything you hear.  And if possible, research it yourself.

Probably a term that liberals invented to tax you more.

I've been trying to figure that out myself. I'm just glad there are more Conservatives on here than I first thought. Its sad that yahoo answers has been poisoned by those damn liberals.

Give me some proof that Conservatives are smarter and I'll listen.\nHowever, Liberals (and I speak from experience) think they're smarter because they have some pre-conceived idea that Conservatives are, well, conservative. As in, stuck in the fifties. And Liberals, being stuck in the seventies, are obviously more advanced.\n\nLol!

I think most people do.  I'm fairly liberal in most respects, but the Bush folks' lies convinced me in the run-up to the Iraq war it might be justified.  I'm in favor of social programs, but I don't particularly like taxes.  I'm pro-choice, but I understand the moral dilemma abortion raises.  \n\nThe real problem is that both liberals and conservatives have used their political positions as a way to react to issues in knee-jerk brainless types of ways.  We need to stop seeing the world through the lens of conservative and liberal and instead start trying to construct genuine solutions to the problems of our world.  Instead of using ideology to see the world, we need to use rationality.

I too walk closer to the conservative line... and I do value our freedoms and rights... the liberals   carry it too far  though.... to such a point that they actually infringe on peoples rights such as in abolishing religion etc. as far as the patriot act goes... I think it makes every one nervous in some ways to  know big brother is watching... at the same time we do want to be protected  from  further acts of terrorism ...and some terrorist are home grown.... perhaps there just needs to be better checks and balances on what they are doing and how they are doing it................fiscally  Democrats  / liberals  most often are the ones  that   raise the taxes and   spend money   on    a multitude of  programs\n..though both parties need to be more conservative financially.....  I don't align myself with either party... some  republicans are liberal, some democrats are conservative..... I am independent...  either party requires dogmatic thinking to an extent... so I vote for the best candidate... who ever they are...

It's not what they're smoking -- Libs just NEED to feel good about themselves.   I use to be a Democrat and somewhat liberal.  It made me feel good to be on the side of the party of the "common man."  It made me feel good to trash the "rich" Republicans.  It made me feel good to be for peace.  It made me feel good to be for equality.  It made me feel good to support social welfare programs.  Then I started reading and listening and thinking and I concluded that today's Democrats are not the Democrats that my parents and grandparents supported (and therefore I supported). They are more like Socialist who want the CENTRALIZED CONTROL OF AMERICA and a political-economic policy that boarders on communism.   The Socialist programs of the New Deal and The Great Society have failed for the most part and are destroying our country.  Now I am much more conservative, and a great deal worried.

It's as simple as this.  Liberals feel that they are better able to spend money collectively for the good of a society than individuals are able to spend their own money for the good of society.  It is a mindset.  Liberals think society first at all costs and conservatives feel individual first.  On the outside the liberal side sounds better but to achieve their mindset they have to forcibly take from others (continuously higher taxes) which unless it's done by a government is generally called stealing.

I haven't noticed this, but I might have an answer...\n\nLiberals like to check with the people, to make their vioces heard.  Conservatives just go and make a decision, without looking at all the facts.

I have heard two things that are laughable\n1. liberals only care about "I"\n2. liberals are out for money\n\nBut yet conservatives complain about tax and spend liberals? If we only cared our ourselves and money... wouldn't we cut taxes and keep more money for ourselves... the VAST majority of liberals are not on social programs... so we get nothing out of many of the programs we support?\n\nAnyway... to me the difference is:\n\nLiberals think the government can make a difference and help people. Give people a hand if they need it... maybe taxes will be a little higher, but if it helps someone, then it's worth it... liberals tend to dislike legislating morality...\n\nConservatives (traditionally, not so sure about Bush and Co.) think that less government is better and if you can't take care of yourself.. oh well... it's your own fault... the only thing government should do is protect the people... and you can't spend too much on weapons... conservatives lean toward legislating the morality of traditional Christian values...

Good question!  I'm not sure, but it would seem that liberals are taking over the Democratic party and making it too far left for most conservative people that are still Democrats and many Republicans have taken a far right stance because it's becoming predominantly conservative and moral.  It's not a good reflection of either party too far either way and it's sad.

Yes...I'm Conservative/Republican I believe their view more represent my own personal views and thought's on our nation and world. My three children are also conservative/republican, my wife, my family, her family & 99% of our neighbors and church.\nNearly everyone I run into over 30 years old are too.

The same ones who gave to the Democrats... or are you that ignorant\n\nhttps://www.donationreport.com\n\nYou'll find names that gave to BOTH parties.\nWhat is the point though, they pay more taxes than you or I do...they every every right to contribute whatever they want to which ever party they want to...It is how the politicians react to getting those funds that can be a crime.

This is funny, I'm sorry but it's SO true! Liberals think they are smart or "educated" and yet they are total fools! Very funny!
