HERE'S WHAT I THINK

CONSERVATIVE vs. LIBERAL: Which side are you on? We are talking about Politics, the Economy and YOUR Financial FUTURE!

With all the heavy-duty campaigning, we were all exposed to a lot of CONSERVATIVE vs. LIBERAL promises. How do I feel about all this? Can you be a little like me in that you take a CONSERVATIVE approach to your finances, but a LIBERAL approach to politics? I don't know you, but my 401k lost 25% or more of its value this year. I'm conservative with my 401k, BUT I'm liberal with my politics! How about you?

It's a DICHOTOMY -- Conservative vs. Liberal 

There's politics, the economy, finances -- so much to consider!

Think about it ... Conservative vs. Liberal -- Conservative vs. Liberal -- Politics, the Economy and YOUR Financial FUTURE

Conservative for my 401k and my finances

a.c. says:

Im a conservative, and liberals plan for power, even though they say thay will enhance it.

meacham says:

I am conservative with my 401K and stengy as hell with impracticle bailouts. Look-it just send me $400K, I'll pay off my mortgage, buy a new car, quit my job so some young pup can have it, and I'll be happy. The bailout was stupid, which mirrors our politicians, right or lefties.

Liberal with my politics

mentalcancer says:

liberals plan for power? hahaha you cant even be apart of the US government without being mostly conservative. The last REAL liberal that in office was JFK and we all know what happen to him

JaguarJulie says:

Oh, did I say that I can't do a straight ticket vote on this matter as I am LIBERAL with my politics as I think this country needs a change to jumpstart it from the past 8 years.

In Western politics, the term conservatism often refers to the school of thought based on Edmund Burke's criticism of the French Revolution. Though his legacy as a conservative is disputed, he wrote against the excesses of mob rule.Absolutism and Constitutionalism in Western Europe, "Edmund Burke was a conservative political theorist who criticized the French Revolution."

Scholar R. J. White wrote: "To put conservatism in a bottle with a label is like trying to liquify the atmosphere ... The difficulty arises from the nature of the thing. For conservatism is less a political doctrine than a habit of mind, a mode of feeling, a way of living."

Conservative political parties have diverse views; the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan, the Republican Party in the United States, the Conservative Party in Britain, the Conservative Party in Canada, the Liberal Party of Australia, and the Bharatiya Janata Party in India are all considered major conservative parties with varying positions.

Oh NO! Jaguar Julie has jumped ship ...

I early voted NOT with my declared party!!

YOUR TURN! Conservative vs Liberal 

I have taken a conservative approach with my 401k money as in the last quarter I lost 13% after already losing 9% in the first quarter. However, when I came to casting my vote in the presidential election, I 'jumped ship' and voted for the candidate that I felt was the best one. Not the one of my declared party.

Yes, you're right! Conservative is best!!!

James says:

George Washington warned about the forming of political parties. Imagine how much better the United States politics would be if we had no parties and used reasoned and facts, not set principles and party allegiance. What about the allegiance to America and her people, I guess the Gottis of Washington forget that.

meacham says:

I can no longer say I'm conservative in today's politics. Hell both parties are full of morons and trash.They lie , cheat, steal, and pick our pockets no matter how you vote. Just wait and see.

No way, Monkeybrain!

Zos says:

It's time that this country starts as a whole starts to value intellect over superficial propoisition. Look at the culture of our youth vs the education system. T^his is a nation of all it's content and not the top 2%. Land of the free does not have a stipulation " Well only if you believe in my God and only if you submit to my views." Wake up! Love each other for your differences! And start taking your part of the responsibility of our nation, stop looking for a hand out, and stop being afraid of progression. We as a whole are the United States of America. Stop being sheep.

B.S-H says:

I refuse to vote for anyone waving the flags of faith, family and fear. My faith is my business, ditto my family. It is a government's job to help the people feel secure; it is not the job of one's government to instill fear. I cannot imagine why anyone would vote for a person who can kill, skin and stew a squirrel before meeting foreign heads of state. I vote for educated people. I vote for people who are smarter than I am. You damn betcha I vote liberal.

The facts about Liberalism

Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis, suitable for a free man) is the belief in the importance of individual freedom. This belief is widely accepted today throughout the world, and was recognized as an important value by many philosophers throughout history. The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote praising "the idea of a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed."

Modern liberalism has its roots in the Age of Enlightenment and rejects many foundational assumptions that dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion. John Locke is often credited with the philosophical foundations of modern liberalism. He wrote "no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions."
