I see Democrats as being more middle of the road, but you all differentiate between the two and I am not getting it.
Liberals seem more left wing.
Republicans are more right.

Democrats admit that they are democrats, and liberals deny everything, especially the truth.

Being in the middle is called moderate. Most Democrats are moderate but the vocal liberal minority makes us all look left-wingers. Liberal Democrats are very to the left while moderates like me might stay in the center and even go to the right on some cases. It doesn't make us Republicans or conservatives, we are realistic and not partisan hackers. I'm a moderate Democrat but I see the bullshit in both parties.

Left wing believes the authorities is more advantageous suited at operating human beings's lives than each and anybody is at operating their personal lives. the right wing believes the option. Abraham Lincoln replaced right into a accurate wing Republican- he believed that slavery replaced into incorrect. The left had to save slavery for obvious economic causes.

I'm gonna have to break this down for you.
Democrat=political party
Republican=political party
Liberal=someone who likes reform and is okay with change
Conservative=someone who's opposed to change;does things the old fashion way
You can have a Liberal Democrat, you can have a conservative Democrat. You can have the same for the republican as well.
Yes, Republicans tend to be more right wing and Dems tend to be left wing.

Left Wing Liberals are those that are not pure Liberals and accepts some issues raised by other parties. There is a little bit of tolerance for the other party.
Rightist Republicans are those that are die-hard party members that do not accept what the Liberals claim as right and there is no place for tolerance.

Hmm...trying to figure our your question....
Liberalism and conservatism are ideologies, not political parties. Democratic and Republican are political parties, not ideologies. Does that help at all? One can be a liberal republican or a conservative democrat quite easily.

There isn't any. Both terms are redundant.
