My views on liberalism vs. conservatism
Being a liberal is promoting maximum individual freedom as well as being open minded and tolerant. A liberal is not afraid to explore and implement new and different ideas even those that may seem strange and unacceptable to the majority.
Please note that the above are the characteristics of true or classical liberalism. Unfortunately, these have been distorted by those who claim to be liberals but have other agendas, and by many conservatives thus creating the false image of liberalism such as the love of big government, big spending, etc. (also read below under "liberalism vs. stupidity").
A conservative is disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change (taken from dictionary.com which I believe is a pretty good definition).
One time on a forum we were asked to define a liberal and a conservative in one sentence and here's what I came up with...
Liberal: if it feels good, do it!
Conservative: straight and narrow is the way!
Those are overly simplistic and meant to be a bit satirical. To be more accurate though, instead of "if it feels good, do it" it should be "if it feels good and doesn't harm yourself or others, do it."
I was a conservative turned liberal
Not necessarily politically
As a conservative I was very uptight about things and sometimes got upset when I saw people behave in ways that were not acceptable to society. As a liberal I'm very open minded, relaxed, tolerant, patient, and fun loving.
I tend to disregard societal taboos and rules which only serve to curtail the enjoyment of life. So I'm a social liberal and live a carefree lifestyle that would fit into the term Bohemian although I'm not an artist. In my view you should be able to do anything you like as long as you don't hurt others or yourself. However, as you should realize, that takes a lot of personal responsibility. I'm not even talking about politics here.
Just to give a couple of examples, to me it's cool to dress like a hippie, go barefoot, wear a nose ring, etc. but what about doing drugs or having multiple sexual partners? Before engaging in any of those, you should ask the question: will your behavior harm yourself or other people? And you should think long term too.
There is one area where I'm still conservative, and that's when it comes to protecting myself, my family, and my country. Although I say I'm tolerant, I have no sympathy for terrorists, mass murderers, child or spouse abusers, and the likes.
Note: all the above are MY views based on MY experiences. Yours may be different and that's fine. No one can always agree on everything and that's cool!
Again, this is not all about politics, so please don't equate the terms liberal and conservative with the names of certain political parties. Not here, anyway. That was never my intention. Unfortunately, there have been a lot of misunderstandings about that, leading to useless arguments - a waste of time and energy. So keep that in mind as you voice your opinions below.
Have you watched Glenn Beck's special TV shows?
This section is probably political :)
Glenn Beck is a conservative radio and TV talk show host. I don't usually listen to him much but a while back someone told me to watch his special series of TV shows (August 24 through 28, 2009). He brought up some pretty scary stuff. The big question is, is Glenn Beck completely nuts and we should just ignore him, or is there some truth to what he said and presented?
If you didn't watch the shows live on TV, you can click on the link below and watch the recordings. Update: unfortunately, the recordings of the special series have been removed. However, more recent shows are currently available and they aren't any less controversial. It appears Beck is on some sort of a mission. You can watch and form your own opinion. Here's the link:

I have watched Beck for some time now, I think that if he believes the stuff he spews out 5 days a week he is either crazy, or he needs to take a class in history, people like him don't worry about facts about this country; like the fact that many of our founding fathers were diests, not born again christians. that this is the most religious nation on earth because of the separation of church and state, not in spite of it, the 50's, 60's and early 70's were the most prosperous times in this country because of strong unions lifting many small boats up to the middle class. companies still made money,as they should. and the top tax rate was around 80%. this crated the largest middle class per capita in this country's history, more people buying houses and goods, sending their children to college, and only having to work one job to support a family they actually had time to raise. unlike today. But i don't think he's crazy, I think he's just he's careless with his lies, ignorant of the truth, and wrong. But that wallet sure is fat I bet, huh? And if your a true right winger, isn't that what it's all about?

Glen beck, Lou Dobbs and several others are hiding behind the curtain of conservatism. in fact these are racist people who ignore the holy book and core values of Christianity. they are bigots and hurting the cause of true Americans. these people uses the definitions of conservatism just to make their case but truly they are racist hate every one else other than their own kind. Liberals does not mean anything illegal, nothing against the Christianity or any other belief. they just don't hate others because they are different.Fox news and Lou Dobbs show on C.N.N continue to spread hate among Americans, bend on disrespecting President O'bama no mater how much the president is trying to do the best for the country. health care reform is needed for America. public option is very important for the healthcare reform. it will make private insurance companies to compete and improve their service and quality. these so called conservatives paid by the insurance industry to block every attempt to overhaul the ailing health care system in this country.shame on Lou Dobbs, glen beck and all others trying deliberately derail the efforts to reform the health care.

I do what he says on his show. I get off the couch and look up what he says for myself. And, most of the time I find more information that he had on his shows. It kinda scary what they are doing to us, but parties.

Glenn beck is just trying to raise awareness about the fact that our country continues to spend money, putting us more and more in debt. He is angry because President Obama continues to do things that Glenn Beck disagrees with (obviously). However, you have to understand that Beck is angry with our country's situation and just doesn't have a good way of.. er, expressing his feelings in a calm manner. He is not, however, crazy or racist. He doesn't hate the president bcause he is black, he hates him because he disagrees with him. Glenn beck critisizes (s.p) white people (i.e Nancy Pelosi, Joe biden, etc), also. Everyone he "hates" is a liberal (usually.) It has nothing to do with their race, gender, and so on.
i'm only 15 though. haha so what do i know? Just my opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree.

Glenn Beck is an libertarian, and his show reflects what he views are dangers in being a statists. After reading this blog and the comments, it appears to me that few individuals really understand that a political ideology is not as simple as saying one is a liberal or conservative. By the way a liberal is not a libertarian. I would suggest that people consider taking the test at www.politicalcompass.org. to really understand their political position.

I am sick of hearing if you dont like Obama you are racist, GET OVER IT!!! Look what Obama is doing, Nationalized Health Care!? I have a friend that came to live here from Italy (the 2nd best health care system in the world) to live here for 2 years, I asked him about their awesome Nationalized health care and he said "Its OK just dont get hurt, it is much better here." Obamas policies is for the people with their hands out. I am a business owner who makes great money and I had no better opportunity than anyone else, I wanted something and worked to acheive it. If the people who founded this country were liberal it never would have been the USA because they would have waited for someone else to do it.

You want to call Beck a nutjob, fine.BUT, since he almost ALWAYS shows the Video of the person being discussed doing EXACTLY what he is claiming.... And you on the other side then say he is wrong, then you are in DENIAL!!! And, when shown in living color the evidence to back up a charge, if the person being shown the FACTS then still denies such..... WHO then is the crazy person???? If I tell you a dog is biting your leg, you look and SEE a dog biting your leg.. then get into an arguement with me to DENY you are getting bit..... ummm, I hate to break this to you, but, you are INSANE!!!!

I've been watching Glenn for a while and anyone who says he's a crazy racist who smears liberals is crazy. He does NOT smear people. Van Jones blamed his resignation on Glenn's "smear campaign". Well, some news for Mr. Jones... GLENN WAS USING YOUR QUOTES!!!!! He tells the truth, and these days thats rare in the media. He give facts, quotes, and constitutional reports in an unconstitutional time. People claim he is a democrat hater and just like republicans. THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP!!!! If they had ever given his show a chance, they'd hear him yell at Bush and the republicans too. He thinks BOTH parties are horrible. He's asking why the PEOPLE are doing this; he's not. When Bush did this or that, everyone freaked out. Now Obama does the SAME THING and it's suddenly okay. The people also called Bush a Nazi and a Communist, but when Joe Wilson called Obama a lier (which Glenn and I say was wrong) AND APOLOGIZED, everyone is STILL FREAKING OUT!!!! Maybe you guys who think Glenn is crazy should actually LISTEN to him instead of the main stream media who thinks everything this administration does is good for the US (which God knows it's NOT).

Are libreals stupid?
A few examples:
Keeping the borders open and allowing illegal immigrants in and depleting our resources while letting drug dealers, criminals, and potential terrorists enter freely is stupidity, NOT liberalism!
Refusing to drill for more oil while gas prices keep rising, driving up prices of other goods is stupidity, NOT liberalism!
This one is a biggie: having more government control on our lives is just the opposite of promoting individual freedom and therefore, "big government" is not a liberal concept. At least not in my book!
Addendum: someone pointed out that I'm actually a libertarian instead of a liberal in the political sense. I guess they're right, but when I created this page politics wasn't at the top of my list :)

Ellwood says:
I consider myself a very center left leaning quasi-liberal type. I'm a self-employed university student [trying to get my BA in Business Administration] and I believe in hard work and diligence to progress through society. I am a Christian. I believe in free enterprise and opportunity for all Americans. I believe in the constitution and the American ideal.
I'm not sure I'm a proponent of big government, but I'm not exactly a proponent of big corporations either. Big government is not our generation's problem in my opinion. On the domestic side, large corporations in America can exercise as much control if not more control over American citizens lives than anything the government is going to do. The destruction of democracy begins when lobbyist for these large corporations buy politicians, and by extension, political power. Lobbyist will fund a politicians campaigns in exchange for political leverage. Those politicians will then vouch for legislation that favor's said corporations - typically more deregulation will lead to more profits [ala pre-existing conditions for healthcare - no price negotiations etc], particularly in the banking and pharmaceutical industry. Most republicans tend to be bought out by these corporations. Republicans will drive the "big-government" fear when influencing votes, when the only thing at risk here are the profits of these corporations. In the meantime the American people suffer with increased healthcare premiums while the average income for a typical citizen does not increase quite as much over the years - making healthcare more prohibitively expensive. This is not capitalism or free enterprise. This is not what I believe in.
I believe in global warming - actually let me rephrase that. I admit global warming is real, as it requires very little faith to believe in global warming considering how overwhelming the evidence the propagates it is. I believe it only makes sense to build an infrastructure of alternative fuels b/c A) oil isn't a renewable resource anyway B) Drilling for oil in the hopes that we MIGHT find SOME oil deposits is not good enough. C) The few jobs that it will create is not worth the investment if there isn't enough to sustain Americans for more than a couple decades. I just think as Americans we can and ought to do better than that.
Okay, lets wrap it up - my most liberal belief is on the death penalty. I don't think the human race is capable of understanding death. Many a religion, many a cult has come and go trying to explain the enigma of death. If we can't understand death then why do we think we have the capacity to judge who lives and who dies? I believe that religion has no place in government. Putting it on our money and in our pledges is fuel that divides the country. I believe that marriage is a religious institution. If your belief system says that you can marry a member of your sex then the government should recognize that. I believe that people should think for themselves and not blindly follow their media pundit of choice. I think a healthy country is a country that acknowledges everyone as American, and not divide among party lines, differences of race, religion, sexual orientation or etc. Sometimes we spend too much time on the things that make us different and not enough of the time on things that we have in common.

If I had a car that needed worked on, which mechanic should i take it to? one says: " just give it to me, and if it can be fixed, I'll do my best to get you back on the road the best way possible." The other says:" I hate working on cars. but i don't like the other guy thinking he's knows how to do a better job than me. so let me work on it instead, it probably wont run all that well, since your driving a cheaper model, I only like luxury models, does your car even have a horn? jeez, I cant even hear it! you should drive a limo. I'm sure I'd hear it then. park it behind the garage where I don't have to see it and I'll get to it when I get to it. If not, I really don't need your business anyways. My point is obvious iI hope, Republicans hate government unless they can get something out of it, so why put them in charge of it. we need them though, Just like we need body odor to remind us we need a bath once in while, to help keep us clean.

I'm a liberal, because I believe in peace, love, compassion, solidarity, & health. Also, I would like to piggyback on what karatekatgraphics said...to me (generally speaking), liberals appear to be more community oriented and concerned about the greater good. On the other hand, conservatives seem to be more individualistic and concerned about themselves and hanging onto their piece of the pie. A liberal, at least this one, doesn't mind forking over a little cash (and no, I don't have much of it), if it means helping the less fortunate (i.e. healthcare for those who can't afford it.) The story of the Good Samaritan comes to mind...

The cable shows are interested in only one thing. More viewers. This will increase their cashflow. People need to realize that most of the talking heads are entertainment not news. Many people mistake their opinions for facts. This is on both sides of the political equation.

?The Future Evolution of Liberals and Conservatives?
Liberal and conservative views will become so diametrically opposed that each side will begin to take on the characteristics of matter and the other anti-matter. So much so that if, by some terrible mistake, a conservative hugs a liberal, in a loving moment, everything in our universe will cease to exist in a huge explosion. However, everything will come back together again, after billions of years, forming planets and stars, and the process will start all over again.

I like the idea that conservatives try to take better care of the military and are concerned about morals and national security, but honestly, from what I've seen on the news, it seems that all conservatives ever do is denounce Obama and every single move he makes without trying to learn exactly what he's trying to do. I think that gay people are still people and should have the right to get married, which I think, is a basic human right. A lot of conservatives seem to be xenophobic and are in my opinion they cause more harm than good by making ridiculous claims that have nothing to do with fact.

My, that sounds kind of "liberal"... less confining law...hmm, but it's true! Most of your big time big party liberals.... well, have lied, cheated and broken more laws.....but so have some big party REPUBS too....

I'm appreciative of the thought that was put into assay. I hope you don't mind a few words. You are not a liberal you are a libertarian. In the realm of politics the terms ?liberal? or ?conservative? relates to the use of government. From the band to tribe to the nation state people create rules by which we deal with one another. The more numerous the people in the group the further away we get from the authority that has been, that we have created. How much power you are willing to give this authority to interfere in you life determines liberal or conservative use of government. I am also a libertarian and thus work for a conservative use of that authority.

- Public schools are a place we teach shame of our founding fathers. This helps mold the minds of our future voting generation. Public schools have become Democratic Head Quarters. As Regan once said, Socialism cannot take root and thrive using the name socialism. This is why the name was changed to Liberalism. The Liberal will count the body bags of US soldiers who CHOSE to fight, but they will never count the 1 million abortions. Selective outrage and shame is the fuel a weak nation needs, to implement this so-called change.

Are morals totally subjective for every individual?
Are there such things as absolute right and wrong or are values negotiable?
