What is Your Definition of a Conservative? A Liberal?

[Fulltimer]

I keep reading posts where people say stuff like "I would like to see a Conservative" and "Those commie liberals" and "I won't vote for a liberal".

Some people even try to claim GW Bush is a Conservative

Just so we can discuss the upcoming political campaign without misunderstandings let us define our terms about Conservative and Liberal.

Maybe I am not a Conservative at all.

I think a Conservative must believe in less government and less government spending, less government laws, and less government intrusion in the lives of citizens.

Agreed. And, it seems like this would also describe Libertarians.

Well Tim what is that point where a Conservative starts to believe in Bigger Government, Bigger Deficits, Bigger Government spending and more Big Government intrusion in the lives of Citizens?

At what point did my Conservative beliefs cease to be a good thing?

Well, yeah

Libertarians are Conservatives.

Apparently Republicans and Democrats are Liberals

I have nothing against Liberals but when they start calling themselves Conservative I feel I have to ask for their definition of the word.
That is what has been going on in this country for quite a while now.
Lets get back to Liberal vs Conservative and stop misleading folks.

My definition of a liberal:

wants to kill as many babies as they possibly can, as fast as they can.

loves class warfare....if they think they can benefit by pitting two groups of americans against each ofther, they are going to do it. this is second only to killing babies

they are for redistribution of wealth, and think that people who go to school, get good jobs and try to make a better life for themselves are evil they are even more evil if they drive luxury suv's.

Here is where liberals share theology with anarchists, defense of our country is bad, in any way shape or form, unless a liberal president is at the helm, then they look the other way just like the NOW gang did when slick was playing with cigars.

they also think that the sole purpose of republicans is to support the lethargic lifestyle of antiwar, anti suv, anti globilization, anti anything protestors, as well as funding liberal sweetheart programs like killing babies.

[Fulltimer]

So Tim,
Your whole measure of the political spectrum involves

1. Abortion
2. Whether they are for a "Classless" society.
3. Whether they drive luxury SUVs or not.
4. Defense of our country.
5. Whether they are against any form of dissent.

It seems to me those are the emotional triggers being used to hide the true issues. Lets talk about the real issues.

When you say "redistribution of wealth" are you talking about taxes today or the redistribution from your grandchildren to you?
