Liberals Act Like Children
by Side Street on Mar.15, 2009, under American Politics, Hypocrisy, Those Damn Liberals
I have often wondered what the core difference between Liberals and Conservatives was, I guess I mean what makes them liberal or conservative. I pondered many aspects and angles, I searched the internet, I read blogs, I viewed videos. Was it demographic differences? was it genetic? The more I pondered this and searched for the answer the more I realized that it has to do with maturity. It was a much more simple conclusion than I anticipated. I was searching deep and the answer was skipping on the surface. Liberals are simply child like in their thinking and Conservatives are more adult like in their thinking.
Liberals don’t investitgate or understand what conservatism is about. I know many liberals and I know many conservatives and I can tell you first hand that most conservative used to be liberals. I never met a liberal that used to be conservative. This tells me that there is personal growth when a liberal matures into a conservative.
My own personal growth was maturing from a pot head liberal into a family values conservative. Sure, as many will point out. I don’t pick and choose my words but I do practice personal accoutability and responsibility for my actions. Conservatives practice what they preach and Liberals just preach. Here is a short list of comparisons.
LIBERALS – believe in governmental action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all, and that it is the duty of the State to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Believe that people are basically good.
Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve people’s problems.
CONSERVATIVES – believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals.
Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.
•Liberals make easy feel good emotion based feelings.
•Conservatives make tough unpopular decisions.
•Liberals promote food stamps and welfare.
•Consevatives feel that welfare is the cause of fatherless children so we promote family values and want people to get jobs and raise their kids.
•Liberals want to save trees and will lay down in front of bulldozers to do it.
•Conservatives realize that trees are a renewable resource. Cut them down and plant new ones.
•Liberals want the right of freedom of choice when it comes to abortion.
•Conservatives think an unborn child should have that same right.
•Liberals believe in freedon of speech & freedom from oppression.
•Conservative believe in freedom of speech, freedom from oppression and freedom for excellence.
•Liberals feel that everyone should be taken care of.
•Conservatives take care of everyone.
•Liberals think that capitalism is bad.
•Conservtives know that capitalism, and “evil” corporate giants are the entities from which most people make their livings.
•Liberals try to tear down religion.
•Conservative use religion to instill family values, virtue, and morality into their children.
•Liberals think that marijuana doesn’t hurt anyone.
•Conservatives are well aware of the blood spilled along the trail of illegal drug trafficking.
•Liberals are casualties of their own ideals.
•Conservatives are causalties of liberal ideals.
The above could have been a much longer list. You get the point. If you want more comparisions Click Here
