June 19, 200719 yr A liberal is someone that believes that there is a legitimate role for the government in helping to promote the general welfare of society.
June 20, 200719 yr My view of a liberal is one that wants to change things for the better (in their mind) and love to preach tolerance. The problem I see with most of them is they want to change things regardless of the fact that others don’t want the change. They seem to think they know what’s better for you as if you don’t. Though they like to preach tolerance, they are also some of the most intolerant people I’ve seen. Not saying all liberals fall under this description, but most I’ve been around do.

Same with the ones I know. :thumb:
June 20, 200719 yr Same with the ones I know. :thumb: Gosh, I thought that the people running around telling other people how to live were conservatives. Is it just maybe possible that there are a few people out there on the left and right that are a little too sure that their way is the only way.:eek: :eek:

June 20, 200719 yr A liberal is someone who is liberal with my money and conservative with their own. :lol: Nice.

June 20, 200719 yr Most of the conservatives I know personally are of the ‘live and let live’ mindset. Same here, but that also holds true for most of the liberals I know. The nut cases at either end of the spectrum get all the attention so that shades our views of each other.
June 20, 200719 yr Same here, but that also holds true for most of the liberals I know. The nut cases at either end of the spectrum get all the attention so that shades our views of each other.Unfortunately, most the liberals I've been around are more like the description I gave of them. Then again, I do know a few over the top conservatives, but very few.
June 21, 200719 yr Same here, but that also holds true for most of the liberals I know. The nut cases at either end of the spectrum get all the attention so that shades our views of each other. Probably one of the more accurate posts here on P&R.
July 2, 200719 yr Fred Thompson and Hillary Clinton were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The conservative, Fred Thompson, gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person. Hillary Clinton, the liberal, was very impressed, so when they came to another homeless person, she decided to help. She walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. She then reached into Thompson's pocket and got out $20. She kept $15 for her administrative fees and gave the homeless person $5. NOW do you understand the difference?
