well no liberals are not like that nor are conservatives. American politics at its worst is not liberalism or conservative.Continued from last post.
I am not saying conservatives are perfect or even could do a better job. But not one of our leaders has a conservative bone in his or her body.
We need conservatives AND liberals. We need both trains of thought to keep us moving forward but not at breakneck speed.
The conservative mind is much more of the "live and let live" philosophy; whereas, liberals believe that they know what is best for everyone else and everyone else will live by their rules come Hell or High Water! Liberals will sell their values to the highest bidder i.e. health insurance companies, union bosses etc. but a conservative while he may be wrong generally maintains his values come Hell or High Water.
Again there is not one American political leader who displays any conservative thought. They are ALL in it for personal wealth. They ALL will sell their values to the highest bidder. A conservative, right or wrong will stand by his beliefs, not so a liberal. There is no way you can spin it. That it liberalism at its finest. That is American politics at its worst. That is what will finally destroy this once great nation.
True conservatives are in it for the betterment of the people. Show me one single American political figure that is in it for the good of the people. Just one.

You have this idealistic dream of what the two labels are and you couldnt be more wrong about it. I guess that is what you get when you have rose colored glasses on.
Bernie Sanders comes to mind. Perfect? no, agree with him fully? No. Has the interest of the American public? Yeah i get a good feeling he does.
Are you talking about the difference in liberal vs. conservative in the American public or politicians?
Because in politics there is not a damned bit of difference between the two.

Well yes there is actually. The product might be different but the end goal is the same. Power. But you cant sit there and claim Liberals are one thing and conservatives are another, and then in the next breath claim they are not different.
