The *original* conservative perspective, is to remove as much government influence as possible from people's lives. To cut, limit, or remove government financial aid. It also is defined as believing that the government should exist for people's protection and national security.

The liberal perspective is that people are entitled to a good standard or life, no matter where they come from. Increasing funds and programs where they are necessary, and removing government influence from its citizen's private matters.

As for radical.. This could have many definitions. Anarchy, religious extremism, neo-conservatives, or neo-liberals. But basically it's about preaching whatever you believe in without any input from any other perspective.. Usually acting with under-handed and forceful methods to get your own way.

EDIT: I'm sure I got a thumbs down for not saying liberals are the OMGSPAWNOFSATAN.

Conservatives say that war serves their economic interests, like stock in ammunition plants, income from stock in companies that supply armor for Humvees, choppers, mortars, and rockets of all sorts.
War is profitable for large Military Industrial Corporations that take no responsibility for their actions. The American people sacrifice their children to the war and to the war effort but have no voice in the decisions.
At the same time, Conservatives including Bush are also dedicated to tax cuts even in war time, so the Deficits go up for the average wage earners but the tax breaks go up for business and wealthy people.
Radicals which includes all strips of political persuasion for left, right and center have concluded that nothing is going to change the direction we are now going as a Country, so they, radicals are concentrating on disinformation.
The liberals know that Bush lied to get us into the War in Iraq, and we know now that Bush also has long range plans to dominate the Middle East and Middle Eastern oil from major reinforced bases in Iraq.
The problem for Bush is that it is so hard to accomplish anything in Iraq with the Arabs and Persians at each others throats.
Bush, Cheney and their friends are just praying at this moment that the Middle East not blow up in America's face, but it does not look good for us.
The Left is screaming that we are not going to be able to set up a new colonial settlement in the Middle East.
We made a mistake again by not understanding our enemies, and if we do not learn our lesson, we will do it over and over again, until..........?
