If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
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 non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus 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 the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he'll post it. A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."

True Liberal vs Phony Liberal

A true liberal desires fairness for everyone.
A phony liberal wants set-asides, stacked decks, and affirmative action laws.

A true liberal believes that everyone deserves a good education regardless of race, social, and financial status.
A phony liberal believes that certain races should be elevated over other races for education, and is against school choice.

A true liberal believes the USA, though we've made some mistakes along the way, is the greatest country in the world!
A phony liberal believes the USA is the problem for EVERYONE'S plights; including the rest of the world.

A true liberal may believe in God and has a faith based lifestyle.
A phony liberal hates religions, especially Catholics, and religious people; but would never speak out against Islam.

A true liberal gives back to charitable causes, embraces empathy with the sick and downtrodden, and chooses to give.
A phony liberal wants taxpayer money to cover any cause they believe in.

A true liberal understands differing sides of arguments, opinions, and ideological mindsets.
A phony liberal believes that opposition should be eliminated.

There are hundreds of examples like these above. Phony liberals are the problem! Feel free to add your favorite to the mix.

I really don’t understand Asian liberals. They escape their home countries to get away from socialism and communism but want to turn the country they’re in into the country they fled from

A good read on the roots of "Liberalism" in the US.

They are progressives not true liberals. Progressivism is a mental disorder.

REALLY long article, but worth the read, James Bennet, former NY Times editor, goes in-depth on how "illiberal" liberals have ruined the traditional liberal ideals.

Proposed Addendum to the last liberal action "... or, more likely, strive to have it stricken from all public forums and have the poster identified as and prosecuted as a racist, homophobic, misogynistic terrorist."

LIberals, conservative, left or right. I prefer Ronald Reagans definition.

> Quotable Quote​

(?)

“You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order --or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path.”​

― Ronald Reagan
