Why do liberals...?!?

Question

EXIST?!?

What causes liberals, and what is the cure?!?

Answer 1

Wow, I thought I had a good answer, then I realized.....there is no answer.

Answer 2

Liberals exist to oppose conservatives. And vice versa. There will always be people with more liberal beliefs than the general population. There will always be people with more conservative beliefs than the general population. It's always on that continuum.
Consider this, if the country embraced all of the liberal beliefs would conservatism be eliminated ? The answer is no ! The dominant liberal majority would then split up into two camps. The more liberal of the liberals would still be known as "liberals'. The less liberal of the liberals would now be known as "conservatives".
So in answer to your question, if all liberals became conservatives, the lesser conservatives would now be the "liberals" relatively speaking.

Answer 3

Liberals exist because most HUMAN beings inherently desire liberty!If you are able to use a dictionary,I would recommend it.Conservatives desire to conserve what they have.That is why the rich folk strive so hard to convince the working class to vote for them.As P.T. Barnum said,'No one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.'A working person voting for a conservative is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.The cure would be a desire to be duped by those who would take advantage and a willingnes to not be free.

Answer 4

In order for anything to exist there must be an opposite.
examples:
without evil there is no good
without light there is no dark
without love there is no hate
i am sure you get the picture.

So in order for smart, rational thinking, moral conservatism to exist you need an opposite; Liberalism.
It sucks sometimes and is hard to deal with and scary to think of how they want to destroy our country and what it stands for and why we are the gratest country on the planet that everyone else wants to live in, but it is a necessary evil in life.

Answer 5

one must realize there is a difference between true liberalism and the "Liberals" you find in forums such as these. not unlike terrorist using Islam to recruit for their agenda, communist and socialist wear the liberal banner to move in the shadows.

Answer 6

Well, liberalism itself is caused by education. If you look at modern and historical trends, there is a direct relationship to the amount of education a person has and whether they are liberal or not. The cure of liberalism is ignorance which can be gotten by removing one's brain.

Answer 7

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN"

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads.

He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans.

The house didn't have electricity until some liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

Answer 8

Well, you really got some good answers, but I especially like the answers that RB and confused gave. *sm*

Answer 9

To show sorry conservatives how to live right and think correctly. And how to use logic, not the bleary eyed babblings of someone who actually believes Bush knows what the hell he's doing.

Any credibility your garden variety conservative has is destroyed by the bending of the knee to Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rush and the other assorted wackos of the Right.

Answer 10

Self loathing!!!

Answer 11

Send them to Iran and Syria to live to see what their life would be like if the terrorists win.
