because some people can only think in boxes. I personally have many different opinions and wouldn't dare try to cram myself into one dull box, although I do lean toward a liberal point of view.
People need to learn to think for themselves!

If they were dirty words, I'm sure Yahoo Answers would asterisk them out.
That said, I'm liberal on most subjects and conservatism in general ooks me out. I can't get behind the ideology that things were better back in some mythical "good ol' days" and that rich people should be supported by a non-interfering government. I hate the things that have happened under conservative governments and the whole idea seems pretty dirty to me.
What children are you talking to? Are you typing while driving, kids kicking the back of your seat? Did you suddenly lapse into a fantasy world? Huh?

It is a short cut to thinking. People who don't look much below the surface like to put ideas in superficial categories. The word liberal has been made to sound like an obscenity by those on the far right. It started with Newt Gingrich. Most of us are somewhere slightly left or right of center. A blanket statement term does not allow for individual differences. Most of have different political views for different issues. I am for reasonable gun control and a balanced budget, and I favor universal health care. There is no monolithic we. Those of us who disdain the labels prefer to judge the merit of each issue, regardless of conservative or liberal stereotypes.

It may be because liberals are out to make this a socialistic society.. Conservatives go after freedom of the capitalistic goals. Let the market determine the outcome.

Because the media helps to cause confusion and unrest rather than just report the news- and many people don't do their homework- they decide issues and votes and political beliefs based on unresearched (by themselves) information---its quite disgusting actually. Wouldn't it just be nice to vote for the best one for the job? And have them do the job? How Strange a thought is that?! ;0)

Because they have a hard time understanding where the other person is coming from.

People just have different perspectives and feel that if they bash other peoples views that they will feel better about themselves.
