I would like to address a misconception that a lot of people have by asking you a few questions.
1. Are you open minded?
2. Do you consider yourself generous?
3. Are you favorable to progress or reform?
4. Are you favorable to or in accord with the concepts of maximum individual freedom possible?
5. Are you in favor of representational forms of government rather than aristocracies and monarchies?
6. Are you against prejudice and bigotry?
I like to use the dictionary as a source at times, and if you answered yes to most or all of the above questions, according to the dictionary, you are a liberal.
I would like to say that no matter how dirty of a word conservative talk show hosts and the news media make it, I WILL ALWAYS STRIVE TO BE LIBERAL!
By the way, liberal and conservative are not opposite in their meaning. I consider myself a conservative liberal. I hate waste and try to live with in my means. That is being a conservative. I am just a want to be liberal, though, as I am not good enough to actually be one.
In reality we are all not that much different from one another. The differences are being magnified for the purpose of dividing us. In that there are more havenots than haves, should tell you why we are being divided.
Something else interesting, in Germany the liberal party is almost the same as the conservative republican party of the U.S. That should give you some idea as to how the meaning of words gets change by the media. ...
