The difference between conservatives and liberals explained
FIRST OFF being conservative or Liberal isn't restricted to any political party there are both conservatives and liberals in each party.
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one should have one. If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don’t eat meat. If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone. If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good. If a conservative is homosexual, they quietly enjoy their life. If a liberal is homosexual, they loudly demand legislated respect. If a minority is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down. If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal wants all churches to be silenced. If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.

Re: The difference between conservatives and liberals explained
Without even seeing it I'm gonna guess it's a list of generalizations where the conservatives are good and the liberals are bad.

Re: The difference between conservatives and liberals explained
I remember having all sorts of problems when I was younger, trying to remember which was liberal and which was conservative. When I asked my mother, she told me that liberals wanted the government to control your lives, and conservatives wanted people to make their own choices and the government to stay out of it.
Imagine my confusion when I was told that the abortion banning, gay marriage not allowing, television censoring, prayer in school supporting, just-morality-in-general-legislating party was actually conservative and not liberal! Also, liberals can either be bleeding hearts who whine incessantly about everyone's rights, or they can want to silence all religion... How can they be both at the same time? It's just the contradictions that bother me.

Gay marriage LMAO TL and I already solved that one about 3-4 years ago Call it BOB, not Marriage. Marriage is a word in the english lanugage that has a specific meaning. If I call my dog a cat that doesn't make my dog a cat it makes me stupid. Should Gay coupls have the same rights as a married couple? HALE yes anybody should be able too legally. You ask how can two opposite things both exsist? weeellllll wellll well, I'm sure you have heard Liberal friends complain against censureship, then trun around and demand the Rush Limbaugh be silenced. WAALLLAAA there you have right infront of your eyes. If you doubt me try this experiment: talk to you liberal friends about censureship and cutting off the voice of one of their favorite liberals. Listen real real close. Then after they are all worked up about how they hate that, start talking about silening Rush Limbaugh or Shaun Hannity and sit back and watch the calls for it to happen. And you will experiance the possbilty you question: wanting to silence others and oppress their rights WHILE AT THE SAME TIME Screaming that nobodies rights get oppressed. Anyone care to take me up on it?

I see it as more of a paradox. One rule I use is carefully believe what a liberal says about what a conservative IS and vice versa. Rarely if ever accurate and almost always spiced up to be as bad as possible.

Re: The difference between conservatives and liberals explained
You know it would be pretty easy to convert these to the opposite. For example:
Quote:
If a liberal likes guns he'll get one. If a conservative likes them he'll give them to everyone.
