Are you a Liberal, Conservative or Moderate?

[YouKnowYouLoveMe]

Just a question.
If you don't know here are some things that classify each one:

Liberal:
- oppose orgazined prayer in places like school or football games
- oppose the death penalty
- government should help out the nations social problems, economy, etc.
- pro choice regarding abortions
- support affirmative action {that is where people of minorities are given special treatment because they are a minority. Its like when applying to college you don't get into like like Harvard but a{n} asian, hispanic, or african american gets in with a lower grade point average and SAT scores than you because they are a minority}

Conservative:
- people should be responsible for themselves, goverment should not intervene in economy or social problems.
- pro life regarding abortions
- favor lower taxes and higher government spending
- support the death penalty

Moderate:
- believe certain things from both sides

Those are general things, not like you have to agree with everything to be considered a liberal.

Now usually if you are a liberal than you are a Democrat, and if you are a conservative you are a Republican. Not always the case, but usually.

I'm a conservative

[destinydreamer]

hmmm, I'm not sure.
I think I'm more to the conservative side, but I don't agree with everything, but I'm not liberal. so moreso conservative.

[pinkpolkadots96]

ive always been liberal.
well ever since i knew what it meant.

[eizy12306]

liberal, I've agreed with a lot of it.

[~*GirlzRule*~]

I'm conservative.

[SaintSaturn]

Liberal.

By the way, you have some stuff wrong in your defenitions. Conservatives want less government spending. They want to cut social programs because they claim it is "wasteful." Oh and the big one, conservatives want to de-regualte business. Look how much good that has done...

[Julia--Miley]

moderate, but closer to liberal.

[Marauder]

im not sure...tbh

[sweet_smile]

To be honest,i'm not sure.I don't really get what they are.
But i'm a democrat,if they helps ;P

[luv2act]

liberal

[LukkiStar]

I love all the political threads suddenly popping up.
It's really good to see that people on here are at least somewhat informed and interested, I'd are at least attempting to be.

Personally I'd say that I'm more liberal.
Honestly though I find politics so confusing a lot of the time and I don't know what's right because I hear one thing at home from my parents and another thing at school (I go to Catholic school, so I'm sure you can guess what their views are) and it's just all so confusing and complicated.

[Rockin_Miley]

moderate..?
im not quite sure.

[ChelseaJB]

i'm moderate.

[Ashley Marie 1992]

i'm dumb, and i really dunno what the heck this is, so i put i'm not sure. XD.

[Frumpy]

Conservative.

[Michael217]

I'm moderate. Neither liberals nor conservatives completely share my views.

[rd_01]

I'm Moderate!, Really the Politic stuff doesn't matter for Me! =)

[7minutesinheaven]

liberal, definitely. except i don't agree on the affirmative action thing.
not to be racist, but it's not fair that some people that did really well on their SATs and stuff are losing spots at good colleges because of the minorities. people should be chosen for college based on their knowledge, not their race.

[hollywoodhunny91]

Moderate.. and I agree cause I see what you mean. Some people get in just because they are a minority. That is really unfair it should be how smart you are.

[shopaholicoxxo]

liberal, definitely. except i don't agree on the affirmative action thing.
not to be racist, but it's not fair that some people that did really well on their SATs and stuff are losing spots at good colleges because of the minorities. people should be chosen for college based on their knowledge, not their race.

Ah, I agree. This is completely how I feel.
I'm liberal EXCEPT for that. I believe in complete equality regardless of race. Just because minorities were treated terribly for a long time (which is horrible), doesn't mean they should be treated better than white people, etc. now. But of course, if a white person got into a college instead of a minority, the minority would immediately say it's racism. I hate how SOME minorities use racism as an excuse for everything. And I'm not racist, before you even start. Hahaha.

[*~MileyCyrus#1Fan~*]

conservative

[dontwalkaway]

liberal... because one person can't speak for everyone http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/data/board-smilies/thumbs.gif

[NancyDrew]

I'm a conservative! :D

[YouKnowYouLoveMe]

Yeah we did this in my AP government class, so i just wrote up definitions that we had, so sorry if I left out something major, it just wasn't in my notes, and I was and still am working on my college applications, so didn't feel like adding anything in.

Affirmative Action is ridiculous. I'm sorry, I completely hate it.
race should not even be a factor.

[NancyDrew]

Well, his opinion is a little biased. ;)

[SaintSaturn]

I read the best quotes ever today.

"Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and acheive and believe in God."

-U.S. Rep. Robin Hayes.

The term "Real Americans" was also used by Sarah Palin at a Republican fundraiser recently. She said,
"We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we visit, and in the wonderful little pockets of what I call the 'real America,' being here with all you hard-working, very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation."

So apparantley because I am liberal and live in a big city I am not part of "real" America.

[NancyDrew]

You're kinda of misunderstanding what she said. I understand what she's saying, and what she actually meant, I would agree with.

[SaintSaturn]

Well I know what she meant (I assume you mean Palin, I don't think you would be defending Hayes?) but the way she worded it just shows how close minded she is.

[dontwalkaway]

i think the inability to word a sentence correctly is not a good sign in the first place

[NancyDrew]

Wow, then you must hate Biden.

[pinkpolkadots96]

To be honest,i'm not sure.I don't really get what they are.
But i'm a democrat,if they helps ;P
if you arent sure, you should really read up
before advertising obama on your sig(:
dont get me wrong, im an obama fan, but
if you really dont know his beliefs, then why like him?.

[dontwalkaway]

well, no, since biden doesn't come off as a dundering idiot who has no idea what he's talking about

whereas... here, let me quote palin:

"ultimately what the bail out does is help those who are concerned about health care reform that is needed to help sure up our economy... helping the- oh it's gotta be all about job creation"



:(

[NancyDrew]

Well, I guess that's a matter of opinion. If the Democrats were being honest, they would tell you that they're nervous everytime he opens his mouth. He's been known to make a few blunders.

[pinkpolkadots96]

Well, I guess that's a matter of opinion. If the Democrats were being honest, they would tell you that they're nervous everytime he opens his mouth. He's been known to make a few blunders.
lets see.... sarah palin... biden... which one is more educated?
more intelligent? more qualified?

all trails lead to biden.

[NancyDrew]

Well, I could fight that, but I'm not going to bother. It's not worth it.

[pinkpolkadots96]

Well, I could fight that, but I'm not going to bother. It's not worth it.
go for it. id like to hear what you have to say.


edit:
that sounded like i was being sarcastic.. haha.
i wasnt. im genuinely interested.

[dontwalkaway]

dude you can't possibly watch the katie couric interviews and tell me she knows what she's talking about

[NancyDrew]

I can and am. I just don't like getting into politics. It's so frustrating.

[dontwalkaway]

oh man..... whatever. i'll leave it be.

[pinkpolkadots96]

I can and am. I just don't like getting into politics. It's so frustrating.
then..why exactly are you on this thread?
dude you can't possibly watch the katie couric interviews and tell me she knows what she's talking about
bluntly put, but true.

[NancyDrew]

Just because she goofed, it doesn't mean she doesn't know what she's talking about. How do you know Obama knows what he's talking about? Just because he sounds good, doesn't mean he knows his stuff.

Listen, I'm opened minded, and just because I'm a republican, it doesn't mean I won't vote democrat. I just don't think Obama is ready to be president.

^Dude, you don't have to be rude. I'm allowed to state my opinion without giving long out support for it. I'm not demanding evidence from you.

[pinkpolkadots96]

please dont try and tell me sarah palin knows what shes talking about.
i mean, its common knowledge. she goes around topics like tax breaks
for all americans and starts talking about soccer moms. "which i am one!"

obama does sound good. but do you listen to the words? do you get politics
in general? he absolutely knows what hes talking about. of course, someone
who didnt know about the topics wouldnt know. so do you know about the topics?

[NancyDrew]

You know what? You're really ticking me off! I've talked about politics before without a problem, but I will not be treated as if I'm stupid. For your information, I happen to know a lot about politics. In fact, I could know more than you, but you don't know that, do you? You're just going to suggest that I don't know. And you know what? I'm not going to try to convince you of anything because you're obvisiously close minded. At least I've look at the situation and know about both candidate's policies. Just because I'm not voting for him, it doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing, or what he's about.

[hollywoodhunny91]

well, no, since biden doesn't come off as a dundering idiot who has no idea what he's talking about

:(

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: :lol: I'm all for Obama this election, but are you flippen kidding me? Biden knows nothing!

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed." -Biden

First off the president at the time was Hoover, not Roosevelt. Secondly, the television DIDN'T EXIST then. How stupid could someone be? Even I knew those facts. I don't trust either he or Palin to be able to run the government if something happens to the President.

Mistakes like that just don't happen when you are running for a role so important. Some of Palin's quotes that are really bad can be interpreted different ways.. but a lot of Biden's quotes are just stupidity!

[NancyDrew]

I'm glad that someone who doesn't agree with me politically see's that. He's just said some really stupid things. If Palin had said some of that stuff, she'd be crucified.

[SaintSaturn]

Speaking of Biden, gotta love this:

Lady reporter: "Obama has said he wants to spread the wealth around. How is that not the traits of a Marxist?"

Biden: "Are you kidding? That's a real question?"

Hahahah, I can't wait until this dude is VP.

[Frumpy]

Biden: "Are you kidding? That's a real question?"

Hahahah, I can't wait until this dude is VP.

His own little way of avoiding the question. Redistribution of wealth is a trait of Marxism, it is a trait of socialism, it is a trait of communism. Now, I am by no means saying that Obama is any of those, I'm not an extremist. He simply does have policies that are very similar.

[SaintSaturn]

Well he continued to answer the question. By "spreading the wealth," Obama meant he was going to give tax relief to people who have not seen it in quite some time. McCain and Palin did a great job of taking a simple phrase and turning it into a scare tactic. I still laugh when I hear them mention "the 's' word" at their rallies and the whole audience boos. It's almost as funny as when Palin misquoted Madeline Albright and told women who don't support her that they are going to hell and everyone laughed (after booing the mention of Albright). Good stuff.

[luv2act]

please try to stay on topic guys

[summer]

i absolutely love when politics starts getting discussed.
everyone has such clear-cut opinions and thinks they're absolutely right.
it's just funny to me :) especially when it comes up at school and people basically just repeat what their parents say so that's what they believe.

[summer]

side note: did you know sarah palin's major is journalism?

yep. she's definitely ready to lead the country. :) a very intelligent lady indeed.

[NancyDrew]

Of course we're right! :lol:

[LukkiStar]

side note: did you know sarah palin's major is journalism?

I wouldn't necessarily say that majoring in journalism makes you ready to lead the country...
And I'll also say that anyone who's watched the Katie Couric interviews can't think that Sarah Palin is an "intelligent lady".
Just my opinion.

[vanessaroxs14]

moderate

[pinkpolkadots96]

agreed.

side note: did you know sarah palin's major is journalism?

yep. she's definitely ready to lead the country. :) a very intelligent lady indeed.
and indeed this is why she scored an 841 on SATs.

woww.. definitely ready to lead the country if such situations occur.

[PinkRubberDuckie]

Moderate.
I think affirmative action is not fair.
If you have better scores, you shouldn't
be deprived something because someone
else is black, or asian, or whatever.

[Frumpy]

side note: did you know sarah palin's major is journalism?

And her major matters...why?

haha i was totally being sarcastic that she's an intelligent lady. i agree that she's not
and for whoever said what does major matter, it probably doesn't that much, but just thought i'd put that random tidbit out there.

[Frumpy]

And why isn't she intelligent?

[destiny hope cyrus fan]

i SUPPOSE i'M A MODERATE. I PRAY IN SCHOOL BEFORE i TAKE A TEST. I'm not pro life, I think it's up to the female to choose.
I agree and disagrree with alot of those things and stuff.

[chiko]

i would say moderate

[summer]

And why isn't she intelligent?

have you heard her speak?

[LukkiStar]

And why isn't she intelligent?
I'm going to be like a politician and answer a question with a question...:P

Why IS she?

[Frumpy]

How well someone can articulate themself has nothing to do with intelligence. Savants can't articulate themselves at all but they are smarter than almost everyone else.

She's obviously smart enough to get elected to mayor, then governor, and then chosen as vice presidential candidate. There's obviously got to be something there.

[dontwalkaway]

so you think every mayor, governer, and vice president has been smart?

[PinkRubberDuckie]

so you think every mayor, governer, and vice president has been smart?

i thinkk you havee to be somewhat smart.
she may not be a great speakerr,
but she's pretty dang smart to me.
that's kinda likee sayingg georgee w. bushh is stupidd.
he may havee madee badd decisions, but he's
definetelyy not stupidd.

[dontwalkaway]

i think if you have to answer with "i'll get back to you" on a general question about your running-mate, like sarah palin did, then you clearly haven't done your research or bothered at all to look at basic background information that you really should know if you're going to be in the white house.

[PinkRubberDuckie]

she didn't straightt out say "i'll get backk to you".
she impliedd it.
although in that interview, she didn't havee herr facts straight,
doesn't makee herr stupidd.
she's obviously not the best speakerr in the world,
likee i saidd beforee.

[dontwalkaway]

likee i saidd beforee.yes she did. she said "i'll get back to you on that one"

and no, i am not confusing it with the tina fey one.

[miley_smiles923]

i dont oppose prayer at things like school or football games, i dont object to someones beliefs but if everyone had to and was forced to or something like that, then id object to it. i dont even say the pledge of alliegence at school because it says god in it and its not what i agree with but im not forced to say it.

but yeah, im liberal, i think its horrible to say soemone has to do something like not get an abortion because it wont affect you personally. if it does then its something that id think differently about. basically i think if it doesn't affect you personally then its not your problem or up to you, no matter what your beliefs are because you should tolerate everyone even if you dont agree with them.

[PinkRubberDuckie]

I watchedd the wholee thingg again.
You can see it heree. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbQwAFobQxQ)
She did not oncee say "I'll get backk to you".
She didd spinn herr words aroundd a lot, thoughh.

[dontwalkaway]

yes, i get what you're saying; a select peoples' morals should not dictate what is made into a law.

[dontwalkaway]

I watchedd the wholee thingg again.

[miley_smiles923]

yes, i get what you're saying; a select peoples' morals should not dictate what is made into a law.

yeah, im a lot like that with religious beliefs too because the church and state are seperate so if youre going to decide something based off the church you're going against the seperate of church and state.

[PinkRubberDuckie]

there's more than one palin interview with katie couric :]

ehh. i'll watchh the otherr tomorrow.
i'm tryingg to watch gossip girl.
i'll get backk to youu on that onee ;]
lmaoo.

[Frumpy]

so you think every mayor, governer, and vice president has been smart?

If they aren't, then the majority of the population is stupid. I'm not denying that, however.

[dontwalkaway]

If they aren't, then the majority of the population is stupid. I'm not denying that, however.unfortunately, that is most definitely debatable.

[sheen5000]

LIBERAL FTW




my point exactly.

[HannahMontana_9]

Liberal:
- oppose orgazined prayer in places like school or football games

- pro choice regarding abortions
- support affirmative action {that is where people of minorities are given special treatment because they are a minority.

Now usually if you are a liberal than you are a Democrat, and if you are a conservative you are a Republican. Not always the case, but usually.

im moderate.
like i support lower taxes and higher government spending. & i support death penaltys.
but thats the only one i like from conservative.
everything else i like from liberal besides opposing death penaltys :P

[Frumpy]

higher government spending

Most definitely untrue.

[NancyDrew]

Just because you don't speak wonderfully, it does not mean you're unintelligent.

[new_york_girl]

I am a Conseratvie Moderate Liberal, that will vote Conserative aka McCain/Palin.
I am all three... Depends on the issue.

Trying not to be rude, but anyone that's heard George Bush speak can't honestly find him to be smart. I personally find him to be probably the most unintelligent president America has ever had to deal with.
My dad even has a book of "Bushisms" (aka really dumb things that he's said) :P

Once you get on television with the knowledge that millions all over the world are watching you and give a perfect speech, you really can't say he's stupid based on his articulation.

Do note that intelligence is not the only reason someone can be placed in an important political position. Other possible reasons include: nepotism, bribery, public appeal, personal preference, etc.

[NancyDrew]

Okay, I know why you said that. McCain was not going to pick an idiot to be his VP. Did it have other politics involved? Of course it did! Every candidates picks have politics to it. But that was not necessarily the reason which is what you're hinting at.

[dontwalkaway]

it seems pretty obvious that McCain picked Palin because he wanted to get some of Hilary's votes
i mean Palin had not too much experience and no discernible big accomplishments, if she was a guy it would seem completely random

[pinkpolkadots96]

I guess I should have mentioned that I was not referring to Palin alone. The reasons I mentioned are quite common in the world of politics. I was not necessarily hinting that one of the reasons I mentioned was the reason McCain chose Palin as his running mate. I was merely explaining that intelligence is not the only reason why someone could be installed in an office of important position.

Oh, okay. But I had no reason not to assume that. She is what y'all were talking about. Remember, people cannot discern true intentions on the internet. It is only logical people will take it ways you might not have intended although I think you did.

Well, actually, Victoria, that was only part of the reason. She was also picked to unite the base. A lot of conservative Christians do not like McCain, and they choose her because she is very conservative.

[Michael217]

My state is one of the most liberal states out there. XD
So it'd be denying Vermont to say I'm not liberal!

So yes, I am liberal. However, I do not support "affirmative action".

[Frumpy]

Do note that intelligence is not the only reason someone can be placed in an important political position. Other possible reasons include: nepotism, bribery, public appeal, personal preference, etc.

True, but the first two don't apply to Palin, the third can come from people seeing someone as intelligent, and the fourth is always a factor.

Conservative:

- pro life regarding abortions
i'm not sure about this, i'd have to learn more about it to make my decision- favor lower taxes and higher government spending
i guess it depends on the situation - support the death penalty

Moderate:
- believe certain things from both sides

Flaming Liberal, proud atheist and Obama/Biden supporter. I'm about as liberal as they come except I'm pro-military (to some degree), however I believe firmly in love and that only love can permanently solve the worlds problems. I am violently opposed to religion in any form, I liked McCain until he ran for president, I despise the neo-conservative right for their unrelenting intolerance (I know, hypocritical, right? :) ) and plan to go into politics myself.

I'm not the best with politics, but I am for McCain/Palin.
Why? Because I just like them better than Obama, and because
i'm Pro-Life, and that is very important to me ;)

One-issue voter. Or you will be when you can vote.

There is a reason for affirmative action. It not so simple as just getting in because your a minority. It is to stop people from preventing you from getting a job or assistance from the government (loans, welfare, etc..) because your a minority.

Believe it or not and while it is hard to prove, people will not hire based on the color of your skin.

I did not get into my school because I am a minority.. I did work hard.. so do not assume... thank you very much!

Oh definitely shopaholicoxxo.. there should be certain rules/regulations put in place to sort of control affirmative action.

Also it must be known that when "they" say minorities, it includes women and any small groups of people who are not the majority.

Affirmative Action is needed to prevent racism from over shadowing a persons qualifications for a job or getting into a school. Believe it or not, some employers will not call someone in for an interview because they have a hispanic or black sounding name. These people don't even get the chance to prove they deserve the job. Also, it helps kids from really bad public schools get into college. If a black student goes to school in a ghetto with terrible teachers and crime all over the place, it is easy to see how they may have lower grades than the rich white kid whos parents spend thousands on private tutors and help programs. I believe everyone should get a chance to better their life.

Ugh. This is why we don't agree on anything political. lol.

I was thinking about what you said earlier. It'd be opposite role play for us. You'd be Ashley and I'd be Zac. That'd be werid. :lol:

So you disagree with what I said?

:lol: That would be kind of weird. Except now I am thinking that we might get into a fist fight rather than making out. That's too bad :(.

[NancyDrew]

No, I don't.

I don't know if either is ideal. lol. Besides, I'd hate to kick your butt. ;)
