Answer 2

Look up a number of liberal and conservative politicians, and see where they stand on the issues. The ones that you agree with most will give you an indication. Personally, I don't like to be pidgeonholed. I won't join a party, and I vote for the person who I believe will do the right thing. Partisan politics is a big part of the problem.

Answer 3

In general, if you believe that the government should have more control of the lives of individuals, and that it should be a larger government, you're a liberal. If you believe in a smaller government, more individual rights, then you're a conservitive.

That said, "republican" and "democrat" mean different things then they used to.

Republicans are strerotyped as someone who is generally very christian, very consertive in dress and manner, strict and disapproving of anything that goes agianst christianity. (anti gay marriage, anti abortion, but for the bill of rights)

Democrats are sterotyped as people who want less indivdual freedom, generally for 'our own good'. More government control in daily life- unified health care, more welfare and government programs, including things like affirmitive action and an absud amount of 'protection' for minorites.. They tend to be pro-choice and pro gay marriage.

Most young people are hesitant to declare a side, cause either way, you look crazy!

Yes.If you believe it is OK for gays to marry,your a liberal.If you think it OK to kill innocent babies in there mothers womb,you are a liberal.If you act like you are for the poor and make millions off of them like Kerry and Kennedy, then you are a liberal.If you love Jesus Christ and want to protect sanctity of marriage between one man and one women and you want to protect children for murder then you are a conservative. If you are a pot head and anti war then you are a independent. also if you want to take the guns away from everyone but the criminals then you are also a liberal.
