Difference Between Liberals and Conservatives

If a Conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a Liberal doesn't like guns, they believe no one should have one.

If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a Liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.

If a Conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A Liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a Conservative is homosexual, he quietly enjoys life. If a Liberal is homosexual, they loudly demand legislated respect.

If a Conservative is a minority , he sees himself as independently successful. Their Liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A Liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a Conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A Liberal wants all churches to be silenced.

If a Conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A Liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.

If a Conservative disagrees with a Liberal president, he is called a racist. When a Liberal disagrees with a Conservative president, it's patriotic dissent.

If a Conservative expresses his political view, he is called an idiot. A Liberal expressing his political views is expressing his right to Freedom of Speech.

“I never use the words Democrats and Republicans. It’s Liberals and Americans.

Difference Between Liberals and Conservatives

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one, but he thinks everyone should be able to buy as many AK-47s as they want. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one, either, but he still thinks that those who do should have to go through a regulated process.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat and gets shunned at family barbecues. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he still wants to make sure that meat is regulated and safe to eat so that other people, such as conservative family members at barbecues, don’t get sick and die.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy and goes to war without figuring out how to fund it. A liberal thinks about how he can gather support from other countries so they can share the financial burden to defeat the enemy.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly enjoys life and hopes his wife doesn’t find out. If a liberal is homosexual, he fights against the married conservatives who are trying to take his rights away through discriminatory legislation.

If a conservative is a minority, he sees himself as independently successful and has no understanding of the historical significance of oppression. If a liberal is a minority, he recognizes that racism is a real issue he must deal with every day.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation, but keeps voting against his best interests. A liberal wonders how he can change things through legislation so that the least of those among us don’t die in the street.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels back to Fox News. If a liberal doesn’t like a talk show host, it’s because he’s outright lying to the American people under the guise of “news.”

If a conservative is a nonbeliever, he doesn't go to church and is ostracized by his conservative friends. If a liberal is a nonbeliever, he doesn’t care what religion you are, as long as you’re not crossing the line between church and state.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes shopping for it--only to find out it’s completely unaffordable for the average middle class family--or he hopes that he can find a job that provides it and if he does, he hopes he won’t lose that job when the corporation ships his job overseas. A liberal knows that he doesn’t have a choice to “decide” whether or not he needs health care and that he can’t rely on a job to provide it and that small businesses shouldn’t have to shoulder that burden and since everyone needs health care, everyone should have to pay into it, which would help offer care for everyone and control costs.

If a conservative disagrees with a liberal president, he uses personal attacks and xenophobia to portray him an illegitimate outsider. When a liberal disagrees with a conservative president, he uses rational debate to explain why.

If a conservative expresses his political view, he is called an idiot if he doesn’t have a rational argument. If a liberal expresses his political view, he is usually standing up to The Man and trying to make things better for the downtrodden.

Typical liberal response. Take the truth and twist it. I also notice that you believe in a lot of regulation. Typical Cradle to grave, we shall enslave, liberal.

A conservative believes that those who work and want to belong to a union shold form one and join it.

A liberal believes everyone should join the union.

Liberals feel it's ok to push their agenda on everyone, but if they are outvoted on any issue it becomes a racist/bigot/intolerance issue. And THAT is just because they don't have facts, only what they want to believe, whether it's right or not. Frankly, most of them should go live in Iran/Iraq or any other country over there. I'd love to see them spout there BS in one of those countries. And you know they are too stupid to NOT say anything. But it would only be once.............

Actually it's conservatives who are always pushing their religious agenda onto everyone. (telling everyone that their gods will is America's) right wing Christian fanatics are the ones who should go live in Iran and see what it's like to have religion run their government. Liberals are for freedom and while conservatives piss and moan about "big government" they think that the government should be able to tell ppl how to live their lives behind closed doors.
