So liberals are liberal because they think they're helping others, correct?

I've heard that and have wondered about it quite often. I guess a lot of liberals are only generous with other people's money.\n\nOkay - I missed something - where did you say you wanted to raise taxes?!?\n\nAnd it's the ACLU that supports NAMBLA, moron.\n\nAh, I see NOBRAIN is contributing her usual intelligent tidbits. Her mommy really needs to limit her computer time.

Fascism,gotta love it!\nAs to your question, I find liberals are generally people who are close minded, full of themselves, and desperate to be 'in'. I also find them in large annoying numbers at our local coffee bars, spouting their rhetoric. poop!

I used to think so. I always said that politics is just a mechanism to drive people apart. I felt that everyone, when it got right down to it wanted the same things; security, food, opportunity and a positive outlook. Liberals seem to want this but their approach is more motherly. they want to establish govt programs to equalize the playing field so that nobody can fail. Conservatives want to limit the amout of support so that those that are ambitious and creative are rewarded while those that do not produce are not rewarded with the fruits of those who are industrious. Either way, everyone really does want the same things, hopefully we can find a way to get along and make it work.

No to both.\nLiberals are generally people who view individual liberties as paramount. They also tend to believe in the common good and are generally more open-minded and generous. The democratic party use to adhere to theses thoughts plus they were pro-worker. Liberals tend to run the gamut of political parties and are found in the democratic party more so than in the republican party. The democratic party is not completely made up of liberals. Since the Reagan years many democrats have adopted a neoliberal, pro-corporation "free trade" ideology (Clinton, Biden, Lieberman, etc..) and are anything but liberal. \nI hope this answers your question.

On first consideration, it would appear to be hypocritical, but it isn't.  These are both part of a deeply-held Liberal premise that no one should be held responsible for their actions. They can not accept that actions have consequences.

liberal is a very subjective term and can apply to any viewpoint fairly far to the left compared with the mainstream politics of the nation, every nation will therefore be different in its definition

It depends on what issue the liberal is arguing at the moment.  Sometimes him being stupid helps their argument better and other times the evil genius idea helps their argument better.  He really can't be both, but liberals do enjoy contradicting themselves.

There are two big views in America today, one is "liberal" the other "conservative."  Basically they differ on one issue, is man basically good or not.  Liberals believe generally that all people deserve an equal chance and government policy should reflect that.  Therefore, government should intervene and assist all those that are disadvantaged in the society, making sure that at least they should get an education, have food and shelter, etc.  This might be described as the "trickle up" theory.  Conservatives believe in the dog eat dog view of the world, that it is everyman for himself, that those who succeed deserve it on their own merits, and that if they are left alone, their success will eventually benefit the rest of society by creating wealth and jobs.  This is known as the "trickle down" theory.  These two views ccontest with each other back and forth, and tend to demonize each other as being out of touch with reality.  Lately, the consevatives have been winning the propaganda war, so liberals have been taking it on the chin.  Both views have their merits, so it best for all of us to listen to both.  If either side was in control too long, we would probably suffer for it.  That is why the political pendulum swings back and forth between the two.  After the democrats have been in control of the information with this election, the conservatives will surely take it on the chin for a while, and they will be portrayed as not caring about freedom and don't really care about America, just themselves.
