The Difference: 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 vegetarian, 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 black man or Hispanic 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 and God removed from public view..

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.

Wait, are you implying that the conservative movement can be appealing to and should include atheists and gays? I agree, but I doubt you’ll find many others on FR.

One faces to the Left; the other faces to the Right?

(Most) conservatives are what used to be called liberals. Politics is crazy.

If a Conservative wants to debate, they present the facts. If a Liberal wants to debate they either re-write history or present emotions - then they run from the debate.

I thought if a conservative was a vegetarian it’s because he hates vegetables and wants to KILL them!

I'm a conservative and an atheist. A coworker and various members of my extended family are also conservative atheists. But, we are not anti-religion like is associated with atheists of the left leaning ilk.

The president of my company is a conservative and a vegetarian (because of his religion).

I dont know any conservative gays, but I think they keep their private lives to themselves.

The big difference between liberals and conservatives—liberals are afraid that people will find out what they believe, and conservatives are afraid people won’t.

Liberal: “America, I’ll love you if you change.”

Conservative: “America, I love you.”

Yes. Also: the differnce between progressives and conservatives is this: Progressives need conservatives, conservatives don’t need progressives.
