political stance"; "generous and broad sympathies"; "a
liberal newspaper"; "tolerant of his opponent's
opinions" [syn: broad, tolerant]

progress

orthodoxy, or tradition

Answer 3

I could write a book answering that question. lol I will try to makes this short and to the point. The conservative idiology believes in smaller government less taxes, in other words they believe the people run the country and should run the country with as little restrictions as possible. I tend to favor that Idiology. But don't see it being followed much anymore. The liberal idiology is a group of people in power who think they have all the answers and if we give them most of our money in taxes they will distribute them in such a way that all will be happy. It's about the same as socialism. Trying to tax a country into prosperity is like a man standing in a big bucket trying to pull himself up by the handle it's impossible. Wait until you see how much "free" health care costs us. The liberals who run the Democratic party today don't like the fact that we are a super power they hate the military almost as much as they hate free enterprise. they want us to be more like Europe. Their goal for America is to have us be a 3rd world country. Everyone equal. They don't live in reality, the terrorists who have said over and over and proved by their actions that given the chance will kill me and you and our familes because we in their eyes are infidels, are to them misunderstood and just need to be talked to. but most of all they hate Bush for winning the white house twice. they feel to rule this country is their birth right and they will use any means including lieing about him and our military to win. They count on people believing their lies because most are too lazy to research facts. And it sure is working. America's government in my eyes is a monster and we need to drastically change it cut it down to size. I am not talking militarily, but get them out of things like Education health care etc. Let the states run their own selves in these places. the less hands the money goes through the more chance it will get to where it's needed. I don't agree with Bush on evrything but to call him Hitler like and only in Iraq for the oil and he gave tax cuts only to the rich on the backs of the poor is propostirous if you look at the facts. But I see so many jumping on the hate Bush bandwagon. Bottom line is if you want the terrorists to come here sooner and if you want higher taxes then by all means vote Democrat. ok I shut up now
