Which of the following liberal beliefs are you most opposed to?

Question

1. Democracy

2. Freedom of thought and expression.

3. Social Equality

4. Human progress.

Answer 1

You've got it all wrong. Both sides are opposed to these things, depending upon how you define them.

Liberal Definitions:

Democracy - A government in which the majority rules, as long as they can do so without offending anyone, marginalizing any ethnic sub-group, or hurting anyone's feelings.

Freedom Of Thought and Expression - Saying anything you want as long as all thoughts and expressions meet standards of political correctness, offend no one, support no conservative agenda, mention no Christian deity, and cause no psychological damage, except for pornography, which is protected free speech.

Social Equality - Everyone enjoys the same level of economic prosperity, regardless of whether they're willing to work for it.

Human Progress - Making sure that everyone is thoroughly briefed on new expressions of art, music, education, compassion, and warm-fuzziness.

Conservative Definitions:

Democracy - A political system in which the people with the majority of the money can make whatever laws they want regardless of the social cost and support.

Freedom of Thought and Expression - All expression is allowed and protected, including required expressions of Christian faith in public schools, organizations that preach hate and intolerance, and pornography, but not anything that supports women's groups or abortion.

Social Equality - A situation in which everyone has the same legal opportunities to succeed, but where you have to already be rich to take advantage of them.

Human Progress - A social program to make everyone kind, fair, and enlightened through faith in Jesus Christ.

So, which of these are you opposed to?

Answer 2

Well those are too general of terms. Republicans believe in all of those too but the interpretation and the method by which they are attained is different.

1. Democracy
Neither party wants to take away democracy, don't be silly.

2. Freedom of thought and expression.
Republicans believe this, which is why we dont constantly want to censor everyone, ban words, and cover only news stories which subscribe to our ideology


3. Social Equality
No such thing, in the world there are hard working individuals with lots of work ethic and a lust for education and sucess. And then there are lazy people, drug addicts, and mentally handicapped people who simply have a different path in life.
No one is equal, but we all are promised the same OPPERTUNITY to acquire what we want. America is about good oppertunity and potential, not a guaranteed lavish life of luxury

4. Human progress.
Both parties want human progress. Republicans want progress based on traditional values and to not forget our culture or where we come from.
Liberals believe that it is a new age and new things are acceptable like homosexual marriage, as well as many other things.

No one is really wrong, they are jsut two groups who try to attain the same thing via different methods really.

Answer 3

um, those are the ones the left is opposed to..take Democracy, okay, then why did Algore try to steal the 2000 elections?,freedom of thought? what the heck is political correctness if not an attempt to take away my freedom of thought and expression? what the heck IS "social equality"? do you mean someone else right to take from me so they'll be a little better off than they would be on their own? what about MY right to enjoy the fruits of my labors? human progress..hmmm...no progress in the Dim agenda, in fact, the only ones allowed to achieve under a Dim would be the power elites. which explains why Algore can drive a huge SUV and have a huge energy bill without being called for it

Answer 4

No, it truly is not any longer a real representation of both liberals or conservatives a minimum of even as i look on the activities linked with those labels. there replaced right into a time no longer very in the previous, even as the GOP gave the effect of a sturdy block of contract. Now the GOP would regarded extra fractured than the Democrats, even if it truly is by the Tea party quite frequently, a minimum of this time. The Democrats continuously seem extra fractured to me than the Republicans because Democrats contain coalitions extra frequently of their party, compared to Republicans, who favor to seem as if a unique united block of theory. Coalitions require compromise, so Democrats are extra compromising and Republicans are extra doctrinaire. in certain circumstances being doctrinaire wins the day, and frequently the willingness to compromise is extra captivating. that's the way I see it, besides.

Answer 5

There's a typo in your question. It should have stated:

Which of the following liberal beliefs are you most opposed to?

1. wacky protests that drown out the opinions of those that don't agree with you

2. abortion

3. Social Equality for everyone except conservatives

4. Human progress so long as it fits the liberal agenda.

Answer 6

I am for freedom of thought and expression if it is only for respecting others and not hurting.

Social equality is definitely important to all.

Human progress is very crucial especially if it enriches life.

Answer 7

3. Social Equality. Serves as justification for any degree of government wrongdoing you might want to perpetrate upon your citizens. And it's unachievable - so serves as such a justification in perpetuity.


For perspective, most liberals, especially on-line liberals, seem vehemently opposed to number 2.

Answer 8

Here's what you meant to say:

1. Democracy--when the election goes our way.

2. Freedom of LIBERAL thought and expression, everything else is just hate speech.

3. Social equality, what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine. I'm entitled to it.

4. Human progress. Humans are free to progress down to the welfare line, then progress directly down to the free clinic, then progress on over for your FEMA card.

Answer 9

I'm not against any of those. Nor are most reasonable people. It is the execution of those beliefs where things get dicey.

Social equality does not equal equality of outcome. It is equality of opportunity. Big difference.

Freedom of thought and expression are fine. But here are consequences to those expressions-- e.g. Imus, Dixie Chicks, etc.

Answer 10

Socialized Medical care for members of Congress.
