@RealityGrapple You sir, have won the fucking internet. I almost chubbed up from the level of enjoyment I had while reading those fantastic walls of insult text. High fucking five, man!
I just think you should stick with the textbook definitions and platforms of parties. Many Libertarian policies call for dramatic changes in legislature which by definition make those liberal policies. Conservatism is not the absence of government but the philosophy that policy should be enacted very careful and rarely rather than reactively like liberal policy. Any rational political party takes conservative or liberal policies depending on the interests of their constituents.
picture a scale 0-10. Extreme conservatism (0) is the absolute absence of government (i.e. anarchy). Extreme liberalism (10) is complete government control (i.e. socialism, fascism, communism). Republican and Democratic are political parties which fall within 4-5 and 6-7 respectfully. The Libertarian Party (which is where I stand) falls within 2-3. I hope I made some sense with this. If not I apologize.

Hey I'm always up for learning something new. So what would be true statements regarding conservative and liberal ideologies?

Ok, fair enough. Explain to me how it's different.

He's a Conservative, he's said so many times.
@Vurdox
That was like maybe 3 or 4 people that cheered, and it wa sliek a month ago, how long are people gonna ride that?
no it's actually not like it at all, but thanks for trying.
Conservative doesn't equal Republican.
He needs to stop pretending he can talk to dead people 😡
Because it would have doomed his chances of being elected. Not that he really ever had a chance.
@RealityGrapple - Pleadian? No . . . more like Your pissed off father . . .
That isn't true at all. Your definitions are only based on the politics of the last 10 years.
