Question! Need definition.

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru


When I visited Canada, I noticed "liberal" and "conservative" was defined opposite from what the US defined them. To help us on both sides of the "pond" understand each other better, will both sides define what we think "liberal" and "conservative" mean?

Mucho thanks in advance! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    god knows, confuses t'fuck outta me. we have labour and conservative, and the liberal democrats are a smaller party.

    Hey Girl from Mars! You're up early this morning! When I posted, I didn't realize how early it was over there. I seriously doubt yall in Europe will be in the mood to discuss politics before having your morning coffee.

    Thanks for the heads up on the different types of politicos there. I knew there were different ones, but spaced over the possibilities.


    It's 2122hrs here.

    LIBERAL = Bill Clinton

    CONSERVATIVE = Ronald Reagan

    was this a test?

    Howdy Rage! For your next assignment, tell how Clinton is a liberal, and how President Reagan is a Conservative. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif"&gt;

    and a gleeful by all means to you Mr. 63D...

    associated with Klinton...

    The ability to kill(murder)unborn children.

    The ability to disarm all law abiding citizens of privately owned firearms thus allowing him to impose his other agendas upon us.

    Tax the living snot out of the middle and upperclass in order to give handouts to a bunch of lazy and stupid people.

    talk about morality and family values, yet practice marital infidelity and have intercourse with an intern that is less than half his age. be such a sick perverted freak that he rogered her cunny with a cigar...

    expiriment with socialized medicine for the sick lame and lazy. and force the cost upon those who have made an effort to do something with their lives...

    kiss the @sses of countries that we have fought wars with some of which have never technically ended...

    appoint a mother of a cocaine dealer to be the surgeon general of the US

    commit US troops to conflicts that were not our own, then leave them improperly supported and without a clear mission.

    produce ridiculous rules of engagement in said conflicts that caused dozens of of people to become injured or die needlessly...

    Use our own federal law enforcement as the nazis had their gestapo and SS. Commando raids to disarm a group of religious fanatics. Snipers to kill the family(wife and child) of a vet who just wanted to be left alone. they even killed his dog.
    said commandos were used to abduct a child from it's american family and return it to it's poor unemployed father in a communist country...

    allow convicted murderers to live. I know a death penalty is not very popular in britain but here it has much support.

    I can rattle on for ever here when I come back I will talk about Ronald Reagan...

    63, feel free to add on my klinton comments.
