Liberal

willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
2.
relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Conservative

1.
averse to change or innovation and holding traditional values.

(in a political context) favoring free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas.

Even Webster won’t say conservatives care about individual rights

"Jim conservatives only support the freedoms they agree with !"

Oh, so it's the democrats who support freedoms they don't agree with. Like the freedom to ask questions at a BOE meeting.

"Republicans who have expanded government after 9/11"

Wanting increased safety, isn't contrary to conservatism. It's one of the things they want government to do.

"And it’s. Lie to suggest liberals want less freedoms"

Like freedom to not wear a mask, freedom to go to church during a pandemic if BLM riots are allowed to take place, freedom to not have my tax dollars go to teachers unions, and from there to Planned Parenthood and to democrats.

There's a huge difference between parents expressing their views, even in an agitated fashion, which they're entitled to do & threats or violence against school board members & school employees. You're falling for the political stunt here.

Like freedom to not wear a mask, What's airborne spread like? Can ya smell cigarette smoke from that guy 20 feet away? Got it? freedom to go to church during a pandemic if BLM riots are allowed to take place Riots of which there were few are illegal, would you like to make protests illegal?, freedom to not have my tax dollars go to teachers unions, But they go to police unions? and from there to Planned Parenthood and to democrats. and Right to life and Trumplicans
That's the price of living in a civil society

As a Texas politician said: "This prohibition against vaccine mandates is like as if the governor were telling me that I can’t issue an order to evacuate the coastal areas when a hurricane is barreling toward us."

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Meaning, when liberals like it, they'll take freedoms away. Yet you said conservatives only support freedoms they like. You forgot to mention that everyone does that.

Why do liberal states have such high taxes, yet so much debt? Here in CT, we give an enormous amount of money to the state, yet our debt currently works out to nearly $100,000 for every taxpayer in the state. How does that happen? Why is that so common in liberal states (CT, MA, NY, NJ. IL)?

Jim you and the right use the word freedom as a catch phrase there no meaning behind it just look at your BS examples suggesting no liberals go to church or want to be rid of masks or control where their tax money goes !
And you throw BLM in for good measure.. it’s all smoke and mirrors with the trump Republicans

As I said look at their legislation? Or lack of legislation

Ban this ban that the only thing Republicans seem expand are laws for gun owners , or tax breaks for the rich which are not paid for then claim to be fiscally responsible and freedom 1st

you have a pattern of contradicting yourself from sentence to sentence.

in one sentence you criticize republicans for not enacting legislation ( which is what always happens to the minority party) then you say they ban this, ban that.

if they’re not doing anything, how do they ban everything?

you should try reading your posts before you actually post.

“tax cuts for the rich”.

a proven lie. proven. i’m not rich, i got a nice tax cut. they doubled the standard deduction,,which doesn’t help anyone who’s rich.

cbs looked at three families to see the effect of the tax cuts. a single mom making 40k a year saved $1300 a year. is she rich, wayne?

they drastically increased the child tax credit. helps lots of people
who aren’t rich. rich people are t eligible for that credit. it’s phased out for higher incomes

Duh.

if the conservative agenda is so bad, why did a record number of americans say they were better off in 2020 than 4 years ago? a record number of americans identified as better off after 4 years of trump, o president ever did as well o. Gallup’s poll. and that was at the height of covid.

people hated trump’s antics. they liked his agenda. how else can you explain that poll?

i wasn’t, but i could have been. we. cant agree that liberals are less faithful than observations? conservatives aren’t more religious?
