Is it safe to say that Conservatives values are opposite liberal values?

We Answered:

Let's pick it a part, Mr. Conservative:
We reaffirm our belief in the Declaration of Independence, and in particular the belief that our inherent rights are endowed by the Creator. We further believe that our liberties can remain secure only if government is so limited that it cannot infringe upon those rights.

There's no THE creator in the Dec. of Ind.: It's HIS creator. Sounds like one religion here.

We believe that capitalism is the only economic system of our time that is compatible with political liberty. It has not only brought a higher standard of living to a greater number of people than any other economic system in the history of mankind; more important, it has been a decisive instrument in preserving freedom through maintaining private control of economic power and thus limiting the power of government.

That's liberalism as defined by Adam Smith in 1776. People who believe this way are called neo-liberals.

• We believe that collectivism and capitalism are incompatible, and that when government competes with capitalism, it jeopardizes the natural economic growth of our society and the well-being and freedom of the citizenry

Why are the resources of our land open to be owned by private companies and not that of the citizenry? If they purchase the land with the resources, who do the pay? Oh, that's right, the government. The government owns the resources to the land and private companies lease it. Sorry, Charlie.

• We believe that it is the responsibility of the individual citizen, whenever his inherent rights are threatened from within or without, to join together with other individuals to protect these rights, or, when they have been temporarily lost, to regain them.

Sounds pretty "collectivist" to me. Joining with like minded individuals to attain a common goal. Hmm..at odds with previous point.

• We believe that any responsible conservative organization must conduct itself within the framework of the Constitution; in pursuance of this belief we refuse to countenance any actions which conflict in any way with the traditions of the American political system.

Hello government intervention!!!

• The American Conservative Union is created to realize these ends through the cooperation in responsible political action, of all Americans who cherish the principles upon which the Republic was founded

Once again collectivist!!!

• The American Conservative Union will welcome all Americans who are prepared to fight for the realization and preservation of these principles through political action at the local, state and national level

And collectivist mentality again...

Would you please go study some political science or something?

Crystal Said:

Democrat, or republican, this fall? (And does your choice strictly advocate a liberal or conservative stance?)?

We Answered:

I'm conservative but I'm curious as to why you started Republicans and what they are AGAINST and Liberals with what they are FOR.
Your format is biased and the lists are structured as to your opinion, not facts.
