The United States was fought for and established by liberals. The liberal position was great at the time, because the U.S. was fighting the oppression of freedom, of religion and of taxes too mention a few.
It worked for a long time, but as the nation grew, so did the idea of democracy. As it grew, the liberals 'stuck to their guns' about being free from governing forces. To the point now that they want a big government that will offer all these programs to pay for their freedom, allowing them to work very little and reap almost-free benefits; kind of like having a sexual relationship-- all the benefits and none of the responsibility.
Conservatives fight for smaller government. The idea that if a person wants something, they need to go out on their own two feet and EARN it, not have hand-outs. Not force someone else to give it to them in the form of a 'program' funded by someone else simply because they are in need; or want, for that matter.
Conservative makes a person strong in their resolve to go out there and deserve what they get because they sweat, bleed and work for it. They have equal opportunity just as much as anybody to get the things that they want, but work extra-hard so that they can get it.
All the while keeping the government small, and allowing the government to fund more important things that keep individuals safe from things that they cannot control, like a nuke sent from thousands of miles away.
Surely you jest! Do you think that Bush is a conservative?
Real discretionary spending increases in fiscal years 2002, 2003, and 2004 are three of the five biggest annual increases in the last 40 years!!! Large spending increases have been the principal cause of the government's return to massive budget deficits.
[Discretionary spending -- meaning spending that is subject to annual legislative appropriations, as opposed to spending for entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare -- ]
Nah, you made it a personal soapbox to push your political views.
You're one of those people who love to make people argue and start arguments, aren't you needkarma? Seems to me you don't need karma, you need a whole lot of other things...

So you're painting a negative view of liberals and a positive view of conservatives. I stand by my previous statement that you are simply advancing your political views and not answering the question objectively. It's important for the OP to know that.
I'll tell you what, needkarma. Go ahead and answer the question yourself. And no matter what you say, I'm going to tell you that you are pushing your political view and not answering the question, ok? This is how fragile your argument is.
The liberals have made themselves this way as I've described. If it happens to be negative, that is their fault. What I have stated is true.
Now we can continue this later, as I have to go and EARN what I want in life.
